Construction sites have a unique security challenge in that being outdoors, false alarms are common.
Videofied surveillance technology is proven for protecting remote sites, outdoor locations and assets in harsh environments. It is not a simple CCTV surveillance system that simply records videos that are accessed by the owner — Videofied is a complete video alarm system that sends a short video clip with the alarm notification to the central station for immediate review.
One such example in the US was a construction company that had experienced over $40,000 worth of damage at a remote storage site. In just 2 hours, their security company installed a standalone Videofied system with three outdoor MotionViewers. The communicator panel operates up to 4 years on a set of batteries. After putting the panel in a NEMA box, they tie-wrapped the box to a light pole and mounted the MotionViewers as discreetly as possible; one in a tree near the buildings, one on a storage container, and one under a trailer. In 4 months, the central station had dispatched police who made over 40 apprehensions.
Similarly, the Videofied provider installed the new system to secure another construction site after a wave of copper thefts. In the following week, police responded to a dispatch and apprehended four people with a truck full of copper from multiple subdivisions. The crime wave was stopped.
