Improve Your Site Security – Construction Site Security Cameras and Temporary CCTV
Construction site security cameras offer a modern, first-line security solution. They protect your site from potential theft, vandalism and trespassing.
Protecting construction sites is vital in ensuring that there are no disruptions to the build, which in turn can lead to further delays and unwanted extra costs.
ARM Secure’s NSI Gold Category II Video Receiving Centre has been monitoring traditional CCTV at industrial, residential and commercial premises across the United Kingdom for over 20 years.
And we are now bringing this expertise to the protection of construction sites to ensure that Britain can keep building without disruption.
Why Construction Site Security Cameras Are Needed
Construction sites are a magnet for criminals. Many identify the opportunity to steal valuable materials, tools and plant whilst others eye the chance to cause mindless vandalism.
In fact, across the United Kingdom there is a growing trend that shows that plant theft from construction sites is unfortunately on the rise.
If an incident occurs on site, works can be delayed. This results in extra costs, and customer dissatisfaction. Installing CCTV on site can act as a meaningful deterrent to prevent this from happening.
Unfortunately, despite all of the security measures that are put in place, crime can still occur. If it does, installing CCTV allows you to gather evidence. This can then be used in the Police’s attempts to catch any perpetrators such as this incident in Sheffield back in 2024.
What are the Benefits of CCTV on Construction Sites?
There are many benefits to construction site security cameras.
They are a visual deterrent which can stop criminals in their tracks. If a site is left unwatched, it’s more attractive to thieves and vandals. However, if they spot CCTV then suddenly the risk of being caught is too high and they will often retreat.
Some site owners may decide that manned guards or mobile patrols are the best security solution. Whilst on-site security guards are a proven security method, providing full site coverage can be a challenge. The cost of putting guards on site can also be a lot greater than the cost of installing CCTV, so it could prove to be a more cost-effective solution.
Installing CCTV on your construction site also gives you the option to onboard remote CCTV monitoring. Remote monitoring puts your site in the hands of security professionals, who only respond if an incident occurs on site. This saves time and money compared to installing a guard on site. If a presence is detected on site by the CCTV, an image is sent to a remote Video Receiving Centre who then verify the footage, before determining an appropriate course of action dependent on the plan agreed during onboarding.
Do ARM Secure Offer CCTV Solutions for Construction Sites?
ARM Secure’s security offering has recently extended to the provision of rapid deployment CCTV towers.
Combining these towers with our NSI Gold remote monitoring, means we are well placed to offer customers a complete construction site security solution.
Thanks to our nationwide security network, we can deploy these Towers to any site quickly to maximise your protection.
We have also launched our new RaPID video-verification units. The RaPid operates in a similar way to our CCTV towers and are well-suited to smaller sites or when the requirement is to target specific areas on the premises.
How Our Construction Site Security Cameras Work
ARM Secure’s Rapid Deployment CCTV Tower feature four cameras that offer complete 360-degree coverage, with up to 75m detection range.
Our Towers are perfect for use on construction sites. There is no need for existing power or network infrastructure. The tower is powered by lithium batteries which are in charged by a large solar panel. There is also 4G connectivity that allows the towers to be connected to our remote monitoring service.
The towers have a 6m retractable mast, upon the top of which is the 4 CCTV cameras. There is also an external horn which allows our monitoring team to issue a loud audio challenge to any intruders.
