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.

It’s not just cameras, and it’s not just monitoring. It’s people that care about the community. That kind of service, you don’t get that from many companies.
Shawnee Tharp Vice President of Asset Management | Trammell Crow Residential
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. If I see something wrong with the system while checking my phone, I can contact someone in customer service who will also assist me with other camera views or anything else I need.
Scott Caulfield Health & Safety Rep | Mattamy Homes
ECAM has helped reduce the amount of criminal activity on our garage significantly by sounding the alarms and contacting the police before further crimes can occur.
Noelle Phillips Senior Community Manager | CORE Apartments
I recommend ECAM to anyone who even thinks they need security. Anyone can have fancy technology, but ECAM has the people I trust to do their best for my team. You don’t get many people who’ll look you in the eye anymore, who’ll take the time to shake your hand, and you’ll know will hold themselves accountable for the end results.

Ozzie Flores and his team are phenomenal! I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mr. Flores on multiple occasions, and he’s always been very efficient, timely and knowledgeable about his products and the best practice to address my concerns. My agency has purchased several products and have been very pleased with both the products and support.
Don Lewis III Albuquerque Police Department
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
They [ECAM] recommended the right cameras. They had the most current technology and great clarity; we could see faces and make identifications right off the feed.
Officer Mark Sternin Los Angeles Police Department
Train theft has gone down immensely. ECAM would be my first choice in any investigation I would do. We wouldn’t have been able to solve the case had it not been for their technology, it blew the case wide open.
Detective Joseph Chavez Los Angeles Police Department
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.

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.
