Construction sites are often a target for theft and vandalism due to the value of equipment and materials that are on site. To prevent such incidents, construction companies are adopting various security measures, including time lapse cameras. Time lapse cameras are an excellent tool for improving security on construction sites by capturing high quality footage of the site over an extended period.
Time lapse cameras work by taking photos at sets of intervals and combining them into a video that can highlight the construction site’s progress over time. Our cameras can cover large areas and capture high resolution images which make them ideal for capturing any suspicious activity that may occur on the site. Our system offers two methods for this: high- definition still images captured at regular intervals (set by you in the schedule settings) or a live video feed (available via our image portal).
According to the National Equipment Register, the estimated costs of crimes at construction sites in Australia are around $2 billion per year and around $650 million worth of equipment is stolen each year. Additionally, it is estimated that when equipment is stolen it is highly unlikely that it is returned. Traditional solutions include fences, locks, or costly after-hours security services; however, our time lapse cameras offer a more affordable and reliable method to reducing thefts and increasing the likelihood that equipment that is stolen is retrieved successfully.
Having a time lapse camera on your site can help with post-theft investigations. Footage from your cameras can be used as evidence in court, leading to a higher chance that stolen equipment will be returned as well as higher rates of convictions and more significant deterrents for potential thieves. Another benefit of our cameras are that they can provide a clear picture of who is on your construction site at any given time. Up and coming features such as facial and license plate recognition, and object detection can assist you in monitoring the comings-and-goings of people and vehicles on your site. This information can also be used to identify unauthorised access to your site and can assist in tracking down any individuals involved in theft or vandalism.
Moreover, time lapse cameras can be integrated with other security technologies, such as access control systems and alarms, all coming together to create a comprehensive security system for your construction site. For instance, if a time lapse camera detects any suspicious activity it may be able to automatically trigger an alarm and notify relevant personnel. In conclusion, time lapse cameras can serve as an essential tool for improving security on your construction site. By providing a constant and reliable source of surveillance, deterring theft and vandalism, and helping with post-theft investigations, our time lapse cameras can help keep your assets safe. Integrating time lapse cameras with other security technologies can further aid in creating a comprehensive security system that ensures the safety of your site and workers.
