Protect Your Projects and Property with Construction Security Cameras

Escalating Theft at Construction Sites Requires Proactive Security Measures

The construction industry faces a significant issue that threatens profit margins and timelines. It’s the pervasive issue of theft, from power tools to skid steers and even excavators. And, while a nationwide problem, the states with the most cases are Texas, North Carolina, Florida, and California. 

According to the National Equipment Register, increasing thefts began in 2018, and the trend continues. In 2022, companies lost $400 million due to equipment theft. Some years place that figure closer to $1 billion.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to secure your job site. While locks, chains, and GPS tracking can help, construction security cameras offer the best defense when protecting your site from theft and vandalism. 

Let’s explore how these cameras work and how they protect construction companies in Dallas, TX.

Construction Site Theft

Prioritizing security at your construction sites is no longer an option but a mandatory response to rising crime. Here are a few examples of the potential loss, as reported by the Insurance Journal:

• A Lincoln Ranger Welder and tools were stolen from a Dallas elementary school job site. 
• In Miami, two Atlas Copco compressors were stolen after thieves broke down the gate of a construction site.

The most common stolen items include lumber, copper, power tools, and heavy equipment. Only about 20% of stolen items are recovered.
