Construction site security in Los Angeles faces unique challenges due to the city’s high crime rates and the substantial value of equipment and materials on-site. Theft is a widespread issue, with expensive tools and machinery frequently targeted by criminals, leading to significant financial losses and project delays. Vandalism also poses a constant threat, resulting in property damage and potential safety hazards for workers. Additionally, trespassers on construction sites can create severe security and safety risks.
Los Angeles Construction Site Security Challenges
There are multiple issues that must be accounted for when it comes to construction site security in Los Angeles. There is an increase in crime and the presence of equipment on sites makes them tempting targets. Theft is a severe problem. The National Equipment Register states that $400 million worth of tools and equipment are stolen from construction sites annually. Next-generation surveillance technologies help mitigate theft by having high-definition cameras and AI-powered analytics that enable real-time monitoring and fast response to aid in the prevention and detection of crimes.
Another significant issue is making sure workers are safe. Yahoo News reported on an incident at a job site where a construction worker was seriously injured in a collapse of a construction site in downtown Los Angeles.

Security Applications for Construction Sites
Live Video Monitoring
Help maintain a secure environment while minimizing liability and providing measurable ROI. We can safeguard unmanned and remote locations, gates, perimeter fences, equipment, cranes and other valuable assets.

Mobile Surveillance Units
Construction sites present one of the most difficult environments to secure, with unstable power, poor lighting and constant change. ECAM’s Mobile Surveillance Solution was built for rapid deployment and can be mounted on almost any pole or flat surface, to secure even the most challenging sites.

Solar Video Monitoring
Solar-powered surveillance technology allows cameras to monitor sites without power or electricity.

Thermal Imaging
Because they sense objects based on the heat they radiate, thermal cameras see things the human eye and standards cameras cannot, providing clear images in daylight, darkness, shadows and inclement weather.
