Construction Site CCTV in Manchester

Construction Site CCTV Towers

Construction sites in Manchester rely on broad-coverage CCTV that can also be repositioned or adjusted when developments move into new phases. Rapid-deployment CCTV towers are ideal for immediate surveillance of large areas of land, with no permanent cabling or wiring needed.

Designed to operate autonomously using solar and battery power, towers incorporate multiple cameras mounted on telescopic masts. This provides construction sites with a crime deterrent and a way to supervise everything from vehicles and tools to storage bays and entry points.

The ability to reposition towers quickly ensures they stay just as effective as construction sites evolve, adapting to changes to temporary access routes and the opening of new work areas to ensure consistent supervision throughout every phase of construction.

Fixed CCTV Systems

While fixed CCTV cameras aren’t always the most effective option for construction sites, they can be useful for ongoing projects that are expected to take several months or years. Cameras can be affixed to walls, entrances, storage bays, access routes and other areas, providing strategic coverage of any risk points or perimeters.

Integrating this surveillance with monitoring through our accredited ARC ensures that CCTV alerts and notifications are sent to trained operators to review the cause of the activation in real time. They can then coordinate the appropriate response to address suspicious behaviour or prevent an intrusion.

Alongside security applications, fixed construction site CCTV can be used to record site activities, monitor health and safety, support investigations, track deliveries and vehicle movements and ensure restricted access areas remain secure.

Video-Verified Surveillance Alarms

Video-verified alarms are a great option for construction sites that need a fast solution to ensure any potential security incident can be immediately confirmed or dismissed as a false alarm. These units capture a burst of images when the alarm is triggered, showing whether this might, for instance, be a break-in attempt or something else, such as wildlife.

Battery-powered alarms can be installed quickly, making video-verified alarms especially suited to temporary construction projects, and for securing cabins, on-site offices, storage areas and material sheds.

Activations can be circulated to our ARC response team or your nominated security personnel, ensuring that if an alarm is found to be a real-time emergency, the relevant security teams or emergency services can be deployed.

Video verification can also ensure that urgent call-outs to the police or fire service have already been confirmed as authentic emergencies, reducing false callouts and reluctance to attend if there have been repeated unnecessary alarms.
