Job-site security that works from grading to punch list.
Construction sites lose more to theft and vandalism per square foot than any other property type — copper, tools, lumber, fuel, and now catalytic converters off the fleet. Our monitoring is built for a site that changes every week and has no permanent infrastructure.
What actually walks off a job site
Based on more than a decade of guarding Southern California construction projects.
Copper & wire
Stripped from new rough-in, often within days of installation. The number one loss on commercial jobs.
Tools & material
Lumber packages, appliances staged for install, and tool boxes left in containers with cheap locks.
Equipment & fuel
Skid steers, generators, and the diesel in them — plus catalytic converters cut from fleet trucks at the fence line.
Trespass & liability
Teens, encampments and copper hunters who get hurt on site become your claim, not theirs.
How we cover a job site
The perimeter first, then the stockpiles, then the equipment — with coverage redrawn as the project moves.
- Virtual fence along the full perimeter with directional line-crossing
- Loitering alerts at gates and known fence gaps
- Interior zones over laydown yards, containers and fuel
- Mobile towers where the site has no power or structure yet
- Monthly re-aim as buildings go vertical and sightlines change
Sample layout — your plan is drawn from a site walk and your existing camera positions.
One night on a mid-rise job in Koreatown
Gates closed by the super; perimeter and yard zones arm on schedule. Operator runs first virtual patrol: 11 cameras, no exceptions.
Sedan stops twice along the fence. Logged and watched. Drives off after four minutes.
Analytics flag a person in the laydown yard. Operator verifies on live video — subject with bolt cutters at the wire spools.
Operator describes the subject's clothing and location over the horn speaker. Subject drops spool and exits via a cut in the north fence.
VSS unit 6 arrives, photographs the fence cut, checks containers and remains 30 minutes. Client text sent with clip.
Nightly report with the clip, fence-repair recommendation and a flagged vehicle plate from 23:40.
What we usually deploy at construction sites
AI Video Monitoring
Proactive, 24/7 monitoring of your existing cameras with AI detection and a human operator behind every alert.

Intrusion Detection
Virtual tripwires, armed zones and perimeter analytics that catch an intruder at the fence — not at the loading dock.

Incident Response & Dispatch
A written escalation ladder for every site: audio warning, mobile response, standing officer, police — executed by operators, documented for you.

Mobile Surveillance Units
Self-powered camera towers and trailers deployed in days for construction sites, lots, events and temporary yards — monitored from day one.

That is what our solar, LTE-connected towers are for. They can be delivered within days and moved as the site develops.
Yes. We re-aim cameras and redraw zones monthly or at each phase change — it is included.
Routinely. If their cameras are IP-based we connect to them; where coverage is missing we fill it.
