AT A GLANCE: Site cameras are hired for construction sites and events to deter theft, monitor activity, collect footage for liability protection, track construction progress via time-lapse, and receive instant movement alerts. At 1300TempFence we offer site cameras that operate on solar power with 4G connectivity, requiring no wiring or fixed infrastructure.

Security cameras are a critical component of any security system. For businesses or commercial organisations, these devices are even more important. Whether it’s a construction site, roadworks, or a special event, it’s important to keep your location secure and protected – whether you’re on site or away from the location.

Traditionally, site security cameras required wiring and extensive infrastructure, which was both expensive and time-consuming. Today, there are a growing number of wireless options on the market that make it easier than ever before to keep your site protected. These innovative new technologies are powered by the sun and don’t need to be connected to a power source, meaning they can be set up anywhere with a phone signal.

Our extensive experience and customer feedback has shown us just how helpful these devices can be across a range of different settings and industries. To help you identify how these devices could help you, we’ve put together our top five reasons to use a site security camera.

5 REASONS TO HIRE A SITE CAMERA

1. TO MONITOR ACTIVITY ON SITE

One of the primary reasons site security cameras are used is to monitor activity on a site. This can be particularly helpful in locations with restricted access areas, such as places with safes, high value inventory, data servers or sensitive information. A security camera system will help monitor and record who access these areas.

This is not only beneficial for supervising the activity of employees, contractors and site visitors, but will also help reduce the likelihood of any unwarranted visitors. When these individuals see security cameras in use, they are far less likely to venture onto the lot without adequate authorisation.

2. TRACKING CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

Site security cameras are an excellent opportunity to track the progress of construction. These devices come with a time lapse functionality that can be used to create a start-to-finish film of the entire project. This is a great way to review construction processes and approaches, share the experience with potential clients or partners, or reflect on the journey of completing the project.

3. DETER THEFT OR PREVENT THEFT ON SITES

The sight of security cameras very often discourages criminals from theft or vandalism before it happens. Anyone seeking opportunities to steal from a building site is far less likely to enter the location after identifying the presence of any cameras. Many 1300TempFence clients choose to install their cameras at the front of their site to ensure they are easily seen by any passers-by.

When customers or partners see the security cameras in use, they also have peace of mind that the business values safety and security. This is a great way for businesses to prove their commitment to clients and bolster their reputation as a safety and security conscious organisation.

4. COLLECT FOOTAGE

A security surveillance camera can be used to prevent false or fraudulent liability claims being made against your business or your customers. This is a major consideration for any businesses that serve the public, as the high traffic of interaction makes them more vulnerable to these situations. For this reason, many insurance companies may offer reduced liability insurance rates to any businesses with security cameras installed.

In the unlikely event of theft, this footage can also be used as evidence against the perpetrator. With high-quality imagery and time stamps, this video content removes any opportunity for claims of bias and provides a reputable back-up for the business.

5. INSTANT NOTIFICATION SERVICE

Site Security Cameras can be set up with an automated instant messaging service. After being installed on the site, the manager or site owner can connect the camera to their smart device or laptop. This system will ensure the person is instantly notified anytime there is movement on the site or in specific locations around the site. This can also be set up for certain times of the day, ensuring only relevant notifications are sent to the operator.

Site security systems have been a popular way of keeping sites safe for many years. However, the innovative wireless technology now makes it easier than ever before to operate and get the most out of these systems.
