Reduce security spending by up to
0%
Construction sites are frequent targets for theft, vandalism, trespassing, and other criminal activity. With materials, tools, and equipment often left exposed after hours, they are an easy target for both opportunist thieves and organized crime gangs.
Most jobsites lack fixed infrastructure to support traditional security measures. There's often no power, no fixed internet, and no effective way to monitor large or remote areas. Hiring security guards is expensive and doesn’t always guarantee reliability or consistent coverage.
These security gaps have an impact that extends beyond the loss of materials. Stolen equipment can delay timelines, inflate budgets, create liability concerns, and damage relationships with clients and insurers.
WCCTV supplies mobile surveillance cameras specifically designed for construction environments. Our units can be rapidly deployed without power or Wi-Fi access, help deter criminal behavior in real-time, and deliver high-quality footage to support investigations, safety reviews, or project oversight.
Security Gaps Criminals Exploit
Construction sites across the US lose over $1 billion each year to theft, with equipment losses alone estimated at $300 million, according to the National Equipment Register. Nearly 80% of these incidents occur outside working hours, and fewer than 25% of stolen items are ever recovered. These losses delay schedules, increase insurance costs, and create serious safety and liability risks.
Sites without power, internet, or proper access control are particularly vulnerable. Temporary fencing and unmonitored cameras offer little deterrent, especially at night or over weekends.
Key challenges include:
Effective jobsite security requires a response in real time, not just a record of what happened after the fact.

Powering Protection Anywhere
WCCTV’s solar-powered surveillance trailers are purpose-built for construction environments that lack power, Wi-Fi, or permanent infrastructure. They can be deployed within minutes, operate autonomously, and deliver the same reliability as a fixed system without the installation cost or disruption.
Each unit combines high-definition cameras, solar panels, backup batteries, cellular connectivity, and AI-driven analytics to detect and deter intruders in real time. The trailer’s visible presence acts as a strong deterrent, while live monitoring teams respond immediately to verified alerts, issuing audio warnings or dispatching police when required.
Key advantages:
WCCTV solar trailers give you a flexible, cost-efficient way to secure evolving sites and prevent incidents before they disrupt progress.
Compact Coverage for Urban Sites
WCCTV’s pole-mounted surveillance cameras offer a flexible security solution for construction sites where trailer placement isn’t possible or where solar access is limited. These compact units can be deployed to lighting columns, perimeter fencing, or fixed structures and only require a mains connection to operate.
Despite their small footprint, pole cameras deliver the same security benefits as our larger systems. Each unit features high-definition cameras, AI-powered threat detection, and live monitoring capabilities. Footage is recorded locally and accessible remotely, allowing you to respond to incidents, verify deliveries, and review activity without being on site.
Use pole cameras when:
Pole cameras give you full visibility where trailers can’t reach, helping you secure every corner of your jobsite.
Choose the Right System for Your Project
Smarter Monitoring, Faster Response
All WCCTV construction cameras feature built-in video analytics that help identify suspicious activity and trigger alerts automatically. These AI capabilities reduce false alarms and make it easier for monitoring teams to focus on real threats, not motion from wind, wildlife, or shadows.
By combining AI with human oversight, our systems can detect and respond to risks much faster than traditional passive setups. Alerts are verified in real time, allowing operators to issue live warnings or escalate to law enforcement as needed. This helps stop incidents before they cause disruption, loss, or delays to your project.
AI capabilities include:
AI detection works around the clock to protect your site without draining your time, resources, or budget.
Your Virtual Site Guard
All WCCTV construction cameras can be connected to a live video monitoring station operated by trained professionals. When a threat is detected by the system’s built-in analytics, an alert is sent instantly to the monitoring team. Operators then dial in to view the live feed, assess the situation, and take action as needed.
That could include issuing an audio warning through the camera’s speaker, contacting a site manager, or escalating to law enforcement. This approach replaces passive recording with real-time response, helping prevent crime and reduce delays.
How our process works:
Real-time response to verified threats
Voice-down audio intervention on-site
Full video and incident reporting
Monitoring teams trained to handle live alerts
Live monitoring gives your jobsite an extra layer of protection when you can’t be there in person.
