Reduce security costs by up to
0%
Construction activity across California spans dense urban builds, remote infrastructure projects, energy sites, and fast-moving residential developments. This broad mix creates security gaps that criminals target after hours.
Contractors report recurring losses of tools, generators, copper, and fuel, with high-value equipment often taken from sites near major highways or in rapidly growing suburbs. Remote locations without utilities face even higher risks because they lack deterrence and on-site oversight.
Large public projects, coastal developments, and transit expansions also experience issues as organized crews move quickly and know how to exploit unmonitored areas. These thefts cause delays, inflate costs, and disrupt schedules.
WCCTV helps contractors address risks with temporary surveillance systems that deploy quickly, operate without power or internet, and connect to live monitoring centers to stop crime before it affects your project.
Thieves Are Targeting California Jobsites
California’s construction market faces persistent jobsite crime driven by high project density, major transit links, and fast-growing urban and coastal regions.
Contractors across the state report significant losses of generators, copper, fuel, and heavy equipment, with organized crews often striking after hours and moving stolen items quickly along interstate corridors. The National Equipment Register identifies California as one of the top states for equipment theft, with costs regularly reaching millions each year.
Remote infrastructure projects, wildfire recovery zones, and early-stage residential developments are especially vulnerable because they lack power, internet, and on-site presence. Key risks for California jobsites include:
This level of loss impacts timelines, insurance costs, and worker safety across the state. Contractors need security systems built for California’s unique mix of urban and remote environments.

Choose the Right System for Your Project
Smarter Construction Security
WCCTV equips every construction camera with AI analytics that identify real risks faster and more accurately than basic motion sensors. This technology focuses on people and vehicles showing unusual or unauthorized behavior, not routine activity from equipment, shadows, or weather.
California jobsites benefit from this precision because large project footprints, constant movement, and busy surrounding areas can create nonstop false alarms. AI reduces that noise and keeps attention on events that require action.
When the system detects suspicious activity, an alert is sent instantly to trained monitoring professionals. They review the live feed, verify the threat, and respond immediately to protect your site and prevent disruption. Key advantages include:
California contractors get reliable, proactive protection powered by intelligent detection.
Your Virtual Security Guard
WCCTV connects every construction security system to a live video monitoring center staffed by trained professionals. When AI identifies suspicious activity, operators receive an instant alert and access the live feed within seconds to review what is happening on your site.
This real time verification is critical for California projects that face high traffic volumes, long perimeters, and valuable equipment left on site after hours. Instead of relying on recorded footage, monitoring teams intervene as incidents unfold.
Operators can issue audio warnings through the camera’s speaker, contact your site team, or escalate to law enforcement when required. Every verified event is documented with a full report so you have clear oversight of what occurred.
Live monitoring provides a reliable layer of protection that works throughout the project.
