Theft and vandalism cost the construction industry billions of dollars every year. Installing construction site surveillance cameras can stop theft before it even happens — and save contractors thousands in lost time and materials.

Deterrence: The First Line of Defense

Visible building site security cameras send a clear message: “This site is being watched.” Most thieves will move on when they know they are being recorded.

Instant Alerts with AI + 5G

Today’s construction site security cameras use AI-powered motion detection to send real-time alerts over 5G when someone enters the site after hours. This allows you to call law enforcement or your monitoring service before theft occurs.

Evidence for Recovery

In the event of an incident, recorded footage is critical for recovering stolen property and prosecuting offenders.

Example: Tools Recovered in Hours

One builder had $8,000 worth of tools stolen overnight. Their jobsite security cameras captured the suspects on video, police identified the vehicle, and the tools were recovered the same day.

The takeaway: Don’t wait until theft happens. Proactively install construction site surveillance cameras to keep your job site safe.
