Protecting Construction Sites with Apartment Surveillance
Effective Methods for Preventing Theft at Apartment Construction Sites
As the spring of 2025 unfolds, Fort Worth, TX, is witnessing significant construction, particularly in apartment buildings. Recently, the Fort Worth City Council unanimously supported a 350-plus unit complex in the southwest region.
So, what does this site and all other apartment construction sites have in common? They are prime targets for theft. From lumber to copper wiring and high-value machinery and tools, construction site theft is all too common in the area.
Developers and contractors are turning to apartment surveillance and live video monitoring to combat this rising crime. One of the most convenient and cost-effective ways to achieve this is via a temporary mobile CCTV camera trailer.
Here, we'll explore how these systems work and how they protect apartment buildings under construction in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

Reactive Security Measures
Thefts at apartment construction sites typically occur on weekends or late evenings when no one is present. In addition to the cost of the materials, these thefts result in project delays, seriously impacting a company's bottom line and reputation.
Contractors commonly use fencing, locked gates, and floodlights. Some sites install security cameras, primarily used to help identify intruders after a theft occurs.
Preventing these illegal actions requires proactive security measures, and that's where smart mobile CCTV units come in.
Proactive 24/7 Site Security
Mobile surveillance systems enable a quick setup in locations where a permanent security camera isn't desirable. At Cameras Onsite, we can complete an installation in less than a day and take it down once the job is finished. This solution reduces the costs associated with permanent systems, including setup, removal, and storage.
Once up, you can access your site 24/7 with a birds-eye-view of what's happening. Our security cameras provide panoramic views, giving you much better awareness than a single security guard. With smart video analytics, you receive alerts when something suspicious occurs, whether as direct as someone climbing a fence or just loitering by the front gate.
You can protect your assets, property, and employees while ensuring projects stay on track by checking in via live video feed as needed. These cameras also offer thermal imaging for crystal-clear night vision,
Your Remote Monitoring Team
The greatest challenge with these advanced systems is that they require vigilance to do their job correctly. But what if you receive an alert while at a business meeting or on a vacation in the Bahamas?
At Cameras Onsite, our 100%-U.S.-based professional monitoring team offers a visual presence 24/7/365. Should a security incident occur, they also use audio and video deterrence. Video intercoms let them speak to the person spotted on camera, letting them know they're being watched. At the same time, the team contacts law enforcement, ensuring the quickest response time.
