Construction Site Security Cameras: Plan Surveillance Towers From Your Fleet
CCTVplanner, the CCTV planner for security installers, plans construction site security with surveillance towers from your own fleet: put the site's machines, containers and cranes on the plan, pick a tower in stock with its cameras, PIR motion sensors, floodlights and siren, raise the mast, see the site in 3D with your logo on every tower cabinet and the floodlights' reach at night, and keep track of the whole fleet: which tower stands where, which is rented out and which is due back.
Every screen in the film is the live planner, voiced and subtitled in 33 languages.
Construction Site Security Challenges
- • Equipment Theft: Protect expensive machinery and tools
- • Material Loss: Monitor building materials and supplies
- • Unauthorized Access: Control site perimeter and access points
- • Safety Incidents: Document accidents for insurance/liability
- • Lighting Challenges: Nighttime monitoring with poor lighting
- • Durability: Systems must withstand harsh construction environments
Essential Monitoring Areas
Perimeter Fencing
Wide-angle cameras (2.8-4mm) covering entire fence line. Mount 8-10ft high for optimal viewing angle.
Equipment Storage Areas
Focused monitoring of machinery and high-value equipment. Use 4MP+ with 4-6mm lens for detail.
Gates & Entrances
High-resolution cameras for visitor identification. 4MP with 4mm lens at each entry point.
Work Areas
General overview coverage of active construction zones for safety incident documentation.
