Expensive and dangerous equipment. Tools. Materials. There are so many reasons for thieves, vandals, and trespassers to target construction sites as their means of entertainment, risk-taking, or opportunity. Construction companies have so many security concerns to consider, and a unique set of challenges they face in order to effectively protect themselves from damages, loss, and liability.Â
In the video above, a Stealth Monitoring security professional noticed an individual entering the southwest portion of an Ontario college building still under construction around 1:45 in the morning. The security operator contacted local police to inform them of the trespass-in-progress while continuing to monitor the situation. Minutes later, law enforcement officers arrived on site and took the individual into custody.  Â
Help Reduce Liability Risks and Secure Your Jobsites with Proactive Security MeasuresÂ
With so many variables and potential security issues, construction sites are a minefield of liability and theft concerns. This is why security measures need to be both proactive and dynamic in order to help reduce risks and limit theft, vandalism, and damages. Â
Remote video monitoring is a proactive security solution. Traditional security measures, like perimeter fences or guards can be limited in their range and scope. Remote video monitoring, however, uses a combination of cutting-edge technology and human intelligence to watch for suspicious activity in real-time. Our analytics-based cameras watch for activity -not just movement- and our trained security professionals can follow site protocols to sound onsite alarms or contact local police when needed. Cameras can also be moved as needed throughout the duration of a project, allowing for newer areas of concern to be prioritized, and growing with the site as it moves though completion. Â
Thanks to our ability to provide police dispatch with accurate, up-to-the-minute information, officers typically elevate the priority of our calls, leading to faster response times, and often arrests before significant damages are done or suspects have left the area.  Â
