CCTV on a construction site: what to consider
A building site has no finished walls, sockets or internet, and it changes every week. A system here is put together differently from one in an office.
Site survey and cost estimate are free of charge
Specifics
Five questions
- The gateA camera at the gate shows every vehicle: what was brought in and what was taken out.
- The materials storeA separate camera on the place where materials and tools are kept.
- An overviewA camera at a high point shows the whole site: the progress of work and what happens at night.
- Power and connectionWhere there is no wired internet, remote viewing is done through a router with a SIM card. Power is usually taken from the site's temporary supply; the site electrician makes the connection.
- The site growsCameras will most likely have to be moved. They are put on temporary supports and spare cable is allowed for.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Will a camera stand dust and rain?
Outdoor cameras protected from water and dust are used on building sites.
Will there be footage if the internet on site goes down?
Yes. The recorder keeps recording and the footage stays on the disk.
Who selects cameras for the site?
We do: we visit, inspect the site and select equipment for the task and budget. The visit and the estimate are free.
