Temporary Camera Solutions
Many construction sites are a living beast, they’re constantly changing environments with highly skilled (but often overworked) project managers juggling dozens of trades trying to have the most efficient path to a great outcome for their client. The combination of a temporary camera solution and a proactive security maintenance partner are perfect for the shifting nature of construction sites. Often powered through solar to battery power, these units are stand alone and adjustable to cover high risk site locations and come with full wireless access with cloud based video storage to ensure the retention of all footage. They’re also generally far more cost effective than installing systems onto existing infrastructure due to their portability. 360 Secure has worked closely with some amazing developers and builders in recent times to provide solar powered temporary camera solutions.Construction site Permanent Camera Solutions
Camera systems aren’t just amazing for the monitoring of locations, they also have the deterrence factor. When potential thieves know that a location is covered by high quality and professionally installed camera systems they’re far less likely to target a location. Permanent CCTV systems should be obvious and well signed to ensure that anyone walking through the area or considering stealing from site are warned. When setup effectively good camera systems can also monitor and alert for specific behaviour by people being monitored, we’ll cover more on the Artificial Intelligence and behavioural monitoring shortly.
Perimeter Monitoring
Perimeter fencing is an obvious requirement for construction project sites, not just for security, but for safety purposes it’s imperative that adequate fencing has been applied. This is highly regulated in all states to ensure safety of the public around sites. It’s absolutely possible to take this perimeter security one step further by implementing perimeter monitoring. By implementing this type of control on a construction site you can have a high level of confidence that no-one will be entering the site without you knowing about it. These solutions are often used in high value warehousing situations where the contents of the warehouse are or particular interest to potential thieves. Other use cases are for tool and equipment cages, which reduces the cost of implementation significantly, but add a technology control that will make any insurance company happy.Site Lighting Stations
The biggest advantage that a criminal can use against a construction site is darkness. It’s very difficult to get a perfect image of someone who is able to use to cover of darkness to approach their target. This advantage isn’t difficult to remove… just add light! There are almost limitless options with regards to site lighting, most commonly this will look like some very effective lights positioned strategically around the site. There are also more and more lighting stations becoming available to hire from construction hire businesses. These have some great results at a very reasonable pricing point for the industry. Lighting will also assist CCTV Systems in identifying thieves for later prosecution.Time Lapse Camera Solutions for construction site
Time lapse video’s are not only an amazing way to capture the general activity on a construction site, they can also be used to monitor behaviour of trades to ensure compliance with required work habits. By refining the frequency of images being taken it’s possible to get a great snapshot of work activity within certain site locations over a longer period of time.
A number of the above solutions can also be used for other purposes on site. The time lapse camera solution is a perfect example of this. Many companies, developers and builders will use timelapse footage to add to progress and building reports, its very difficult to argue against a timelapse footage video. Time lapse can also make a huge impact throughout marketing collateral and is becoming a high value item for estate agents looking for something to differentiate the property in an increasingly tough market. 360 Secure provide high quality (DSLR) time lapse capability to the construction and development industry.
