Selecting the Best Construction Job Site Security Camera SECURITY CAMERAS ARE UNDOUBTEDLY THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY OF PROTECTING CONSTRUCTION SITES FROM THEFT, TRESPASS, ARSON AND VANDALISM. But with sites under constant threat, choosing the right surveillance camera to detect, deter and defend against these crimes is critical. Below, we highlight the essential vital features for any effective job site surveillance camera.
01
HIGH DEFINITION QUALITY
Construction sites can be dark, poorly lit, and onsite incidents may occur at a distance from the camera. A standard definition camera will not deliver the detailed video evidence you need in these situations. WCCTV security cameras record and stream at 1080p HD, delivering a video quality unmatched by most other construction site security cameras.
02
MULTIPLE POWERING OPTIONS
Sites may not have permanent or continuous power availability, which is why autonomously powered security cameras are a popular option for construction sites. WCCTV provides security cameras that work regardless of on-site power availability. Our pole-mounted security cameras can run directly from a 110v power source if you have power. We can supply the WCCTV Solar Surveillance Trailer if you don't have power. This completely autonomous mobile surveillance unit runs entirely on solar power.
EASY TO INSTALL AND PORTABLE
03
Job sites are constantly changing as building works progress, so having a security camera that is easy to install and can be moved around the site to address new surveillance requirements is critical. WCCTV's Mobile Surveillance Units deliver plug-andplay convenience, and can be installed and fully operational in a matter of minutes. Fix a WCCTV Pole Camera to an existing utility pole or building, add power, and the units are ready to go. Don't have anywhere to mount the cameras? We can supply you with an all-in-one solution pre-mounted to a pole, or provide the autonomous WCCTV Solar Trailer. As your sites expand, assets move, and new security challenges emerge, they can easily be moved around the site to accommodate these changing requirements.
04
INTEGRATED 4G LTE CONNECTIVITY
4G LTE transmission is essential for all mobile video surveillance units as it allows remote access to the cameras without the need to run cabling. Construction sites are temporary locations; there is no sense in installing cables to transmit videos to rip them up once the project is done. It's expensive, disruptive and unnecessary. At WCCTV, we manufacture our own 4G LTE modems for the specific application of delivering live and recorded video surveillance images. We integrate these modems into our security products, including our Pole Cameras and Surveillance Trailers.
REMOTE ACCESS FROM ANY DEVICE
05
You should be able to remotely access your construction site security cameras 24/7/365 from a range of connected portable devices. Utilizing the integrated 4G LTE transmission, site managers should be able to access a camera using their authorized laptops, smartphones, or tablets - removing the requirement to be tied to a desk when reviewing videos. WCCTV provides its mobile viewing software to all clients free of charge and completely unlicensed. This includes smartphone and tablet apps and a range of solutions for laptops and PCs.
06
REMOTE MONITORING AND RESPONSE
Mobile Video Surveillance cameras act as a visual deterrent and allow for the investigation of criminal activities. But when professional video monitoring services back surveillance cameras, they become virtual security guards - always awake, always on guard and always protecting your sites. The team of security professionals at WCCTV's partner ISOC will immediately verify alarms raised by the security cameras at your site, and then take appropriate action - despatching mobile guards or contacting Law Enforcement to ensure your sites are protected.
LOCAL RECORDING CAPABILITY
07
Your security cameras must provide more than just a live video stream; they should also feature local recording capability. Accessing recorded footage allows law enforcement personnel greater opportunities to investigate any criminal activity on your sites. The footage gathered on your sites can also be used to assist with insurance claims, remote project management and investigation of accidents and injuries.
08
INFRARED - NIGHT TIME CAPABILITY
Most construction sites will lack either a fixed or ambient lighting facility for night times, making infrared cameras an ideal choice for construction site security. Infrared allows for video recording and intruder detection in normal, low, and zero light. All WCCTV security cameras have built-in "Smart IR" that automatically adjusts the illumination intensity that the cameras infrared LEDs provide based on the proximity of objects (such as people) approaching the camera
VIDEO ANALYTICS
09
video analytics is ideal for construction site security. It provides automated detection of intruders onto the site, meaning cameras don't have to be continually monitored for activity. WCCTV's security cameras contain edge video analytics that has been optimized for 24/7/365 outdoor usage. WCCTV's video analytics are straightforward to configure, and allows users to create a virtual fence around a remote construction or oil and gas site. We can even provide intelligent thermal analytics, allowing advanced detection and classification at the most remote and complex sites.
10
