Construction Site Security: Choosing the Right CCTV Camera
Construction sites face a range of security?risks?including trespass and vandalism through to more serious crimes such as arson attacks and the theft of tools, materials and machinery.?
These crimes can have a devastating impact on construction projects, leading to significant delays and major financial losses.?
CCTV cameras are one of the most proven ways of?preventing construction site crime; they?provide a visual deterrent and act as a virtual security guard at a fraction of the cost.?
As the UK's leading supplier of?rapid deployment CCTV for construction site security, WCCTV understands that one size does not fit all when it comes to which cameras to use. Construction security requirements?can be unique from one site to the next, and each will have a different risk profile.
That's why WCCTV has developed a complete range of customer-driven CCTV systems?that can be adapted to?any site and evolved as a project progresses.
Below, we outline the range of solutions we offer and the types of site they would suit best.
Solution 1:?Onsite Power Available
If your construction site has onsite power facilities, we would recommend using?WCCTV's HD?Eco Tower.
WCCTV's Eco Tower?is powered by a long-run battery offering up to 150-hours of backup power.
This will allows the?system to run autonomously overnight or over weekends, meaning you can shut down generators and help your sites save on fuel, noise and pollution.
Other key features include:
The WCCTV Eco Site Tower can be provided as a standalone solution or as part of a?fully managed site security service?- including survey, installation, monitoring, maintenance, redeployment and 3rd party key holder escalation.
Solution 2:?No Power Available
If your construction site has no power facilities, we would recommend using the?WCCTV HD Solar Fuel Cell Tower.
The Solar Fuel Cell Tower is powered by a methanol fuel cell cartridge backed by a high-performance solar panel which?reduces fuel consumption and increases the system's autonomous run time to 20 weeks before a refuel is required.?
Other key features include:
The WCCTV HD Solar Fuel Cell Tower can be provided as a standalone solution or as part of a comprehensive security service that covers survey, installation, maintenance, alarm monitoring, response and monthly reporting.

Solution 3:?Trackside Projects
If you are undertaking a construction or renewal project on or around rail tracks, we would specify the?WCCTV Network Rail?Type Approved CCTV Tower.?
It is the only rapid deployment CCTV tower with PADS approval for track-side deployment due to its?non-conductive design.
Its key features include:?
Solution 4:?Complex Sites/Critical Infrastructure
For?large construction sites or critical national infrastructure locations with complex detection areas, we would recommend the?WCCTV Thermal Smart Tower.
The system's?additional thermal imaging cameras and/or thermal infrared PTZ cameras contain edge analytics running high accuracy alarm detection rules.
The?Smart Tower is fully approved for CPNI security applications but is also ideal for large construction sites where cable jointing, OHL/OLE and cable trenching work are occurring.
