Construction sites in Australia are a constant target for theft and vandalism for very obvious reasons. The presence of bulk raw materials and construction equipment that can be sold for a considerable amount is enticing for many lawbreakers. This forces countless developers to invest in various security solutions to protect valued assets.
Renting Spectur AU‘s solar wireless CCTV cameras is one of the most cost-effective ways to add an extra layer of security to development yards across the country. Without the need to break the bank, contractors can ensure that their yards are free from unauthorised activity and mitigate project delays.
Construction Site Security in Australia
The resurgence of the residential housing market, along with the continuous growth in infrastructure, industrial, and non-residential projects, has contributed to the surge of the Australian construction industry after the COVID-19 pandemic. The sector was valued at around $190 billion in 2023, playing a vital role in job creation and Australia’s economic growth.
However, the rising number of construction sites for various purposes also means that there are more targets for burglars, especially in major cities. This results in millions of annual losses for developers and the need to replace the unrecovered materials and equipment, causing significant downtime and delays in the project.
Investing in modern building site security measures enables site developers to avoid falling prey to various criminal activities. A solar-powered security camera, in particular, is an effective visual deterrence to burglars as it shows that the site is constantly being monitored to prevent illegal activities.
Key Features of Renting Solar Wireless Site Cameras for Construction Sites
The presence of solar-powered wireless security cameras in worksites significantly revamps existing security measures that might not be enough to prevent theft and vandalism.
Remote Monitoring and Real-Time Alerts
One of the key benefits of having a solar wireless site camera is its capability to allow remote monitoring of the site and provide real-time alerts if suspicious activity is detected. Security teams or site managers will have a vision of the ins and outs of the construction area wherever they are, allowing them to take action quickly during theft attempts.
Most wireless solar security cameras are also integrated with several features that provide real-time alerts with photos and text to the people monitoring the cameras, ensuring unsuccessful attempts to steal materials and equipment.
For example, Spectur’s HD6 Camera System is built with AI software that provides a high level of intruder detection with minimised false alarms. It also records high-quality 4k videos and will send an alert notification on email or Spectur app so authorities can act as fast as possible. This helps deter crime on construction yards, especially during off hours when criminals strike the most.
Wireless Connectivity
The absence of wires allows for an easier installation process and flexibility when it comes to camera placement. These cameras can be easily mounted where developers think they are mostly needed, eliminating the time-consuming task of organising wires and the limitations of only installing them near power outlets.
Spectur’s wireless construction site security cameras can be installed directly in-ground or with a concrete block or steel mobile base anywhere on the site. There will be no limitations in location as the cameras are powered by solar energy and a built-in battery, eliminating the need for power cords. Our camera solutions can also connect to 5G, 4G, Wi-Fi, or satellite so they can provide real time alerts and high-quality video even if installed in a remote location.
24/7 Protection
Countless criminals will not blatantly attempt illegal activities in broad daylight. Many construction site thefts and vandalism happen at off-hours when the site is most vulnerable as workers go home. And even if there are cameras installed on the site, they don’t have AI features that can detect motion and can’t provide a clear video during nighttime, allowing thieves to successfully conduct illegal activities.
Spectur’s solar CCTV cameras that can be rented come with cameras that allows for effective surveillance throughout the night. One of the prime features of the HD6 camera system is ultralow light detection, ensuring that any activity on the site is well-recorded and can be used for investigations.
AI-powered motion detection is also highly functional on both daytime and nighttime to mitigate suspicious activities on the site. The new STA7 security camera solution comes with 4 modular 4k cameras that has a motion detection range of up to 25m at night, ensuring maximum protection for the surrounding area.
Onsite Security Features
Sometimes, cameras aren’t enough to deter burglars from breaking into construction sites. This is where integrating more intimidating security features can help developers in scaring or even catching lawbreakers so they can refrain from doing illegal activities again.
Spectur’s line of construction site of cameras are made with several security features that can terrify unauthorised people on the site. For instance, both the HD6 and STA7 camera systems have built-in flood lights that will activate on suspicious movements, letting lawbreakers know that they are being watched.
These cameras are also made with a built-in two-way speaker that enables audible recorded or live warnings that can significantly intimidate thieves.
Energy Efficiency
Using the sun’s renewable energy to produce power for Spectur’s camera systems removes the need for electricity, helping lower the project’s utility bills. In addition, the use of solar panels allows for reliable and continuous surveillance in remote areas without a direct supply of electricity or during extensive power outages.
