Construction Site Security with Remote Guard Video Surveillance
Every year, construction sites and storage yards face the costly problems of vandalism and theft. Recent studies suggest that this kind of criminal activity can cost businesses more than $1 billion dollars annually, affecting productivity and adding to an already busy and complex workload for site owners and employees. Every year, millions of dollars’ worth of equipment either goes missing or is damaged; ongoing construction work is damaged and delayed; and vandals take many items of value from sites. While multiple on-site guards at a site can be beneficial, this can also be cost-prohibitive, without providing the thoroughness and consistency of surveillance that a truly secure construction site or storage yard needs. Remote Guard Video Surveillance offers an effective, technology-based solution that can supplement or replace on-site security guards, providing a cost saving and highly efficient form of security that allows larger areas to be “patrolled” using cameras and other surveillance equipment.
What are the benefits of implementing remote surveillance at a construction site or storage yard?
Enhancing On-Site Security Guard Monitoring
The size and scope of many construction sites and storage yards present a variety of challenges when it comes to security, as well as a number of opportunities any thief or vandal can exploit. A typical construction site or storage yard is often difficult to patrol with only uniformed officers. All the storage facilities, walls, fences and containers, as well as parked machinery, hinder visibility, and the use of guards on patrol loses much of its effectiveness.
The wide range and amount of equipment on a site or storage yard is difficult to consistently monitor and secure, particularly larger items, or items that are easily moved. Remote Guard Video Surveillance can meet these challenges by providing camera analytics guided by a remote monitoring team. Specific areas or pieces of equipment can be focused on with mobile or portable...(Click Here to Continue Reading)
