Explore Flexible Protection for Projects, Vacancies, and Events.

Security needs don’t always justify a full-time guard staff, especially during transitions. Maybe a building sits vacant between tenants. Perhaps a construction site only needs overnight coverage for a few months. Or your team is preparing for a short run of pop-up events. In these moments, a virtual security guard can deliver the right level of deterrence without the long-term commitments.

This approach isn’t a replacement for every scenario. But when budgets are tight, timelines are short, or sites are hard to patrol, virtual guarding offers rapid deployment, consistent watchfulness, and decisive audio “talk-down” when it matters. The key is knowing when it makes sense to go virtual, and how to set it up so coverage is both temporary and effective. Let’s explore the situations where a virtual guard is the smarter choice for your Dallas, TX, property.

At Cameras Onsite, we specialize in giving Dallas firms a cost-effective and highly responsive way to safeguard their people and property. Learn how we do it below.

Managing Construction Theft with 24/7 Monitoring

In March 2025, police departments recovered over $150,000 in stolen construction equipment from a home in Dallas, TX. The search was part of a major burglary case involving theft at commercial construction sites. Unfortunately, these thefts are nothing new but a growing concern for those in the industry.

To combat this criminal activity that can result in significant loss, construction companies turn to security guards to keep an eye on their property after everyone leaves. But is this the best approach? Could a virtual security guard provide a better, less costly answer? 

Here, we’ll explore the pros and cons of this hot-topic debate.
