Construction Sites
Security Cameras For Construction Sites.
The one property type where the building changes shape every month. Coverage has to move with it, and a system designed for week one is wrong by week twenty.
The Moving Target
The Site You Secure In Month One Is Gone By Month Six.
Every other property we work on holds still. A construction site does not, and that single fact drives the entire design.
Phase One: Open Ground
Perimeter and gate. There is nothing to mount to and nothing to power from, so positions are chosen around what exists.
Phase Two: Structure Up
Mounting points appear and sightlines close. Cameras that covered the whole plot now cover a wall.
Phase Three: Fit-Out
The valuable material is inside and the risk shifts from the perimeter to the doors and the deliveries.
Phase Four: Handover
The permanent system goes in, and where it was planned for, much of the temporary infrastructure is reusable.
Deliveries
Material arriving and material leaving, which on a live site are the same gate and frequently the same vehicles.
Plant And Equipment
High value, portable, and the most common thing to disappear overnight.
Power And Connectivity
The Two Construction Constraints Nobody Plans For.
On a construction site the hard questions are not about cameras. They are about electricity and a network.
Early-phase sites frequently have neither reliable power nor a fixed connection. That eliminates a lot of standard equipment and shapes what is realistic. It is also why so many construction camera systems are sold as self-contained units and why so many of them underperform: a unit that has to conserve power records less, and records it worse at night.
Where a site has power, a properly cabled system outperforms anything self-contained by a wide margin, and it can be planned so that runs installed for the temporary system become the permanent one. That is the single biggest saving available on a construction project, and it only exists if somebody thought about it before the first pour.
Where a site genuinely has nothing, the honest conversation is about what a constrained system will and will not deliver, particularly after dark. We would rather have that conversation up front than be asked in month four why the footage is unusable.
What Helps
Beyond Recording On A Construction Site.
On sites nobody occupies at night, intervening during the event beats reviewing it afterwards.
Active Deterrence
Strobe and voice-down triggered by a real detection. On empty overnight sites this is the feature that actually prevents loss.
Analytics That Filter
Classification separating a person crossing the line from weather, wildlife and passing headlights, so alerts stay switched on.
Plate Capture At The Gate
Vehicles in and out, which on a construction site is most of the story.
Designed To Become Permanent
Where the client will own the finished building, the temporary system is planned as phase one of the permanent one.
