Common Use Cases for Live Video Monitoring on Construction Sites
Deter tool and equipment theft
Construction sites are frequent targets for theft, especially after hours. Our security camera monitoring service provides real-time visibility to help prevent costly losses and keep projects on track.
Prevent perimeter breaches
Unsecured job site perimeters can lead to trespassing, vandalism, and liability issues. A remote camera monitoring service can help enforce boundaries and deter unauthorized access around the clock.
Monitor worker safety
Construction zones are dynamic and dangerous. Surveillance camera monitoring services help support safety enforcement by detecting PPE violations, fall hazards, and other risky behaviors in real time.
Investigate incidents
Whether you need to verify a delivery, resolve a workplace dispute, or document an accident, our video surveillance monitoring service gives you fast access to critical footage and expert review.
Protect remote or unmanned locations
Isolated sites are especially vulnerable to theft and vandalism. Remote construction site monitoring helps ensure continuous surveillance, without the need for on-site personnel.
Understanding CCTV in Construction Security: Modern Tools for Modern Job Sites
What Is CCTV And And And How Do IP-Based Systems Improve Construction Site Security?
Old-school CCTV systems typically refer to analog, closed-circuit technology. These systems lack remote access, high-resolution video, and cloud storage—features essential for modern construction workflows. ECAM’s IP-based surveillance platforms offer superior video quality, real-time alerts, and remote video monitoring support, helping site managers maintain visibility and control from anywhere.
What Is CCTV Monitoring And Why Does It Fall Short for Construction Sites?
Traditional CCTV monitoring systems are often passive—recording footage without delivering real-time threat detection or response. On an active jobsite, where tools, equipment, and materials are vulnerable after hours, this just isn’t enough. ECAM transforms basic CCTV into a proactive solution, with 24/7 monitoring, AI threat detection, and live voice-down deterrents that help deter theft and vandalism before they happen.
Wireless CCTV Solutions Fit For Construction Jobsite Security
Construction professionals often search for wireless CCTV or wireless CCTV camera options to cover evolving sites and remote areas. ECAM’s Mobile Surveillance Units (MSUs) are built for that flexibility. Our wireless, solar camera trailers can be quickly deployed and repositioned as your site changes, helping give you full security coverage without needing power or internet infrastructure.
Construction Site CCTV with Mobile Surveillance and Real-Time Monitoring
Looking for a construction site CCTV solution that actually helps deter incidents—not just records them? ECAM’s Mobile Surveillance Units (MSUs) deliver more than video—they deliver action. With built-in AI analytics, live voice-down speakers, and 24/7 remote monitoring by trained security professionals, MSUs help actively deter threats in real time. All footage is securely stored and easily accessible, giving you critical evidence when needed and peace of mind around the clock.

Case Study Exxel Pacific, Inc. Benefits from Time-Lapse Cameras
The Problem
The construction project manager at Exxel Pacific juggled more than just building projects – he needed to really understand the neighborhood rhythms to schedule deliveries, manage security needs, and keep the neighbors happy, all while facing constant pressure to keep everything running smoothly.
The Solution
Before setting up ground-level cameras, ECAM installed a time-lapse camera on a nearby building to get a complete bird’s-eye view of the site, sharing the live feed on our website for everyone to see. This simple setup takes a photo every ten minutes, building a visual record that helps the team track progress and verify what’s happening at the site day by day.
The Results
The Exxel Pacific team now uses a camera mounted above the site that shows them everything happening in real-time. It also takes photos throughout the day, giving them a clear picture of how traffic flows around the site and how construction is progressing. Anyone involved in the project can check in whenever they want. It’s a simple way to track progress from start to finish.
“I’ve had great success working with ECAM on projects in and around Seattle… These cameras function as more than traditional security. You’ve got to think of it as documenting progress.”

F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions for the Construction Industry
Who is watching the site?
ECAM’s trained security operators monitor your site from one of our several redundant monitoring centers. Having multiple centers is a major advantage that ensures system redundancy and reliability. In the rare event of a catastrophic failure or emergency at one location, monitoring can seamlessly shift to another monitoring center, so your site is always protected without interruption.
What happens when you see something suspicious on a site?
When an operator detects suspicious activity, an escalation specialist is notified. That specialist conducts a thorough investigation, which may include reviewing additional camera angles and gathering more context to assess the situation. Based on their findings, the appropriate action is taken—whether it’s issuing a live audio warning, notifying onsite guards and site contacts, or dispatching law enforcement.
How do they know what to watch on a site?
Our operators detect activity using two key methods:
Alarms triggered by our proprietary software and systems—these alert operators to potential suspicious activity in real time.
Video Guard Tours (VGTs) — as an added layer of protection, operators manually scan through all site cameras several times an hour. This helps ensure nothing is missed.
What if I need video footage to be reviewed?
Our dedicated video review team handles that for you. We know your time is valuable, so instead of spending hours searching through footage, you can simply submit a request and let our experts locate and review the video for you.

ECAM makes it very easy for me to check up on my sites by giving me an app on my phone that allows me to check any camera on the site at any time of the day.

Since we’ve partnered with ECAM and GardaWorld, we’ve seen a significant decrease in trespassers, loitering, and people coming off of persons experiencing homelessness encampments onto our property, so that is a significant cost savings for Foothill Transit.
John Curley Chief of Safety and Security | Foothill Transit
The Hanover Sheriff’s Office has been proud to partner with ECAM. Their camera trailers serve as a deterrent to criminal activity and have been so well received by our business community that requests for their use are frequent. Overall this system has been a valuable addition to the crime prevention tool box utilized by the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office.
Captain Terrence Sullivan Hanover County Sheriff’s Office
We partnered with ECAM, who came in and provided multiple units for surveillance to assist us in identifying suspects, and in doing so, we were able to identify two major fences, recover over $20 million worth of product, arrest 34 individuals, and literally stop the activity that was occurring.
Captain Alfonso Lopez LAPD Commercial Crimes Division
One of the great things about ECAM is they were able to tailor make exactly what we needed here at the Port. So, I am a believer in ECAM, and anytime I reach out to other local law enforcement agencies or any partners, I always tell them how wonderful ECAM is.
Lieutenant Rosario Ferrara Los Angeles Port Police
We’ve noticed that since we placed the MSU’s in our parking lots we don’t get the vandalism, as much theft, and things seem to be kind of mellowing out. We see this partnership with ECAM as a positive thing and we’re just going to ride that positive wave.
Major Benny Jones Lambert International Airport Police
We were looking for different products for security solutions for parking lots and retail outlets and schools and so forth, and we reached out to ECAM and we’ve been using their product ever since. We had something like 52 B&E autos in a certain area within a certain time frame during the holiday season, and after implementing ECAM’s camera systems in those areas, we had zero the next year at the same time.
Chief Bill Partridge Chief of Police and Director of Public Safety | City of Oxford, Alabama
We’ve deployed numerous trailers with ECAM, and with every order, we’ve given a lot of feedback, and every new order is then built to our specifications, which has helped with our deployment and with how we use our trailers in the city of Oxford.
