Layered Security for Construction Projects
Every construction project needs a layered security approach from perimeter to interior and from start to finish. Effective construction site security combines preventive measures, mobile surveillance, and active monitoring to help protect materials, reduce unauthorized access, and keep project timelines on track.
Core Mobile Surveillance Cameras are designed for remote installations, with little to no light, internet, or power.

- Night Vision built for Job Sites
- AI Early Detection
- Built for Hard Environments
Perimeter Fencing, with Vision
Fencing can deter bad actors but can't detect if an individual has actually crossed over. Core Mobile Units can detect fence line intrusion hundreds of feet away.
Risks & Challenges
Construction Theft Prevention
Construction sites are vulnerable to theft due to the presence of valuable materials and equipment. The National Insurance Crime Bureau estimates that construction site theft costs range from $300 million to $1 billion annually in the United States. Commonly stolen items include copper, metals, lumber, and tools. Theft commonly occurs in less secure areas, such as laydown zones. Unfortunately, less than 25% of stolen items are recovered, leading to project delays and increased costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do construction site security cameras need internet or Wi-Fi?
Core Mobile Surveillance Units are designed for remote installations and are completely self contained. Meaning, they generate their own power and network. Our Construction site Security Cameras operate independently of your network.
Where should Construction Security Cameras be placed on a jobsite?
When we first connect, our team will review your project's map and plans to determine the best placement for Core's Mobile Surveillance Units. Generally speaking, Mobile Units should be placed on the perimeter, forming a virtual fence, and within view of the access points of the project. Our goal is to create a layered security approach, for your construction site.
Do the Construction Site Security Cameras work at night or in low light?
Core's Mobile Surveillance Units can easily see either in pitch black or in low light situations. Core uses thermal, IR, and other applicable technologies.
Is live video monitoring for my construction project better than cameras that only record?
Core's live video monitoring provides a Rapid Response to situations that develop on a Construction Project. These can be situations that require human input. Core's Operations Team monitors the live video for potential situations that arise during off hours.
How quickly can Core deploy a Mobile Surveillance Unit to a construction site?
Delivery averages 1–2 weeks in the Southeast. Locations farther away can take up to 4 weeks. Timing depends on unit availability, site access, location, and your project requirements. Contact Core to confirm the delivery date for your site. Once on site, security is usually set up within 30 minutes.
What live monitoring schedules are available for a construction site?
Core offers live monitoring in four tiers: 24/7, nights and weekends, nights only, or a custom schedule. We agree on monitoring hours and response procedures around your property’s needs.
Does renting multiple units reduce monitoring costs?
Monitoring costs decrease when you rent more than one Mobile Surveillance Unit. Contact Core for a quote based on your site and monitoring needs.
