Residential construction sites are frequently targeted by criminals, trespassers, vagrants, and other security and liability nightmares for jobsite managers and construction businesses. Here’s how remote video monitoring helped facilitate an arrest on a construction site in Canada.
While observing an Ontario residential community under construction, ECAM security professionals observed an individual approaching the site after hours, moving toward a trailer, and appearing to attempt to access the building. Onsite alarms were activated, and local police dispatch was contacted due to the abnormal behavior. Police responded onsite moments later and were able to safely take the suspect into custody without further incident.
One of the most important aspects of a security solution is how quickly it can respond to an event- while many construction businesses make use of video surveillance on their sites, it is often without monitoring in place. The cameras may capture useful evidence in the event of a theft, burglary, vandalism incident, and so on- but passive surveillance doesn’t allow for intervention in activity as it’s happening.
Unmonitored surveillance can lead to significant losses. In a recent incident in Puslinch, a jobsite’s secure compound was accessed and an estimated $100,000 in property, tools, and equipment was stolen.
