[show]The best way to prevent and investigate crime at construction sites is using surveillance cameras. They monitor sites without the need for security guards.
Why Surveillance Cameras are the Most Effective Jobsite Security Solution
Modern surveillance cameras, equipped with intelligent analytics, night vision, wireless transmission and solar powering for remote sites, are putting construction managers in the driving seat when it comes to deterring job site crime.
Construction sites present a natural attraction for crimes, including vandalism, arson, and the theft of equipment, tool, and materials. The most recent statistics surrounding construction site crime paint a worrying picture:
-
It costs construction companies between $300 million – $1 billion annually
-
Construction thefts are on the rise due to increasing material costs
The most effective way to fight back against criminals is to install construction site security cameras. They deliver remote 24/7/365 surveillance of job sites without the need for human guards.
Surveillance Cameras Benefits for Construction Job Sites
The ongoing threat of construction site crime has been the driving force behind some of the most innovative advances in surveillance camera technology.
As a leading provider of construction site security cameras, our mobile security cameras and solar surveillance trailers have been specifically engineered to meet the unique challenge of securing job sites.
We have provided security cameras to the largest construction companies across the globe, and have developed a feature-rich product set that delivers the highest standard of job site security.
Our surveillance cameras feature:
24/7/365 Monitoring
WCCTV's surveillance cameras never take a break. They never miss, they're always awake, and they're always on guard. They keep watch over your sites around the clock, transmit live images, and continually record footage to a built-in hard drive for retrospective review.
All of our construction site cameras can be backed by remote alarm monitoring services via our partner ISOC. If unauthorized intruders are detected at your sites, it triggers a real-time theft prevention response starting with an audio challenge, siren activation, through to law enforcement despatch.
Autonomous Powering
Many construction job sites will lack continuous and fixed power supply, which is why we have designed a complete range of autonomously powered surveillance solutions.
This flexibility allows us to secure your sites no matter how remote, or whatever stage you're at with the project.
Durable and Environmentally Tested Housing
WCCTV's job site security cameras have been specifically designed to withstand all weather conditions during year-round outdoor deployment. All of our cameras and housings are accredited to a minimum IP65 rating.
Night-Vision Technology
Construction sites all too often lack adequate lighting facilities. This allows thieves to operate under cover of darkness, and makes your sites easy pickings.
The built-in Smart IR (infrared technology) in every WCCTV surveillance camera removes this opportunity by delivering high-quality night vision - detecting intruders on your sites that the human eye would fail to spot.
Automatic Intruder Detection
WCCTV's construction site security cameras provide an extra layer of certainty that your valuable materials and machinery will be protected.
Our edge-based Video Analytics software will trigger an alert as soon as someone enters a 'zone of interest' (e.g. your construction site).
This alert can be sent to WCCTV's partner Interactive Surveillance Operations Center (ISOC), who will verify the alert, issue an audio challenge to the intruders, and despatch security patrols of law enforcement if required.
Wireless Video Transmission
Construction sites are temporary locations, so a permanent internet network may not be available to transmit your security camera footage.
We manufacture our own LTE modems for the specific application of delivering live and recorded video surveillance images. We integrate these modems into all of our construction site surveillance cameras.
HD Quality Video
Our security cameras record and stream at 1080p HD, delivering a video quality unmatched by other construction site security camera providers. Don't settle for grainy images from outdated, low-quality surveillance cameras that make criminal investigations impossible.
How Surveillance Cameras Secure Jobsites
Construction site managers face a myriad of challenges on a daily basis; security is just one part of a much wider set of responsibilities.
When utilizing WCCTV's surveillance cameras, our clients get mobile surveillance cameras ideally suited for the job. They also benefit from an all-encompassing service that provides peace of mind and reduces workload.
Our mission is to deliver:
Theft Prevention
The cost of building materials is at an all-time high right now. Aside from the direct monetary loss, job site theft can also lead to lengthy project delays. WCCTV's surveillance cameras remove the opportunity for theft from your sites, and ensure your projects stay on track.
Worker Safety
Our surveillance cameras can be used to monitor and review working practices. The footage they capture help investigate accidents and near-misses, helping shape your safe working practices, and spot hazards in real-time.
Vandalism and Trespass Deterrence
The presence of a WCCTV security camera at your job site is often more than enough to prevent anyone from entering your sites and causing damage. When the cameras are backed by remote monitoring and flashing siren lights, they are an even greater trespass prevention tool.
Managed Security Cameras for Construction Job Sites
We provide market-leading security cameras backed by a fully managed service that includes equipment installation, video monitoring, maintenance, and ongoing technical support.
Our rapid-deployment cameras provide construction sites with multi-application benefits, including security, time lapse video filming, and remote project management.
Our customizable solutions can accommodate any site, and easily function whether you have power or are dependent on solar energy. All of our units contain the latest LTE transmission technology – allowing these solutions to operate autonomously.
No matter the site, we have a solution that we can create for you.
