Viseum Construction Site Security
AiRadar and the thermal and optical camera
The Viseum AiRadar finds every object around a site while the thermal and optical camera turns to each one and zooms in. Each sensor has its own role, and the two always work together.
Construction Industry Standard
The construction site standard for automated security and surveillance
Construction site video surveillance from Viseum is one multitasking camera with video analytics that watches the whole site in every direction, day and night, and confirms each incident itself. Installed, maintained and supported as plug-and-play with modular hardware configuration.
- The strongest construction site security deterrent. Making everyone think the entire construction site is being constantly watched.
- More construction site surveillance coverage from fewer cameras and more convictions using extended dual evidence. Close-up view and wide view of each incident. A single Viseum Intelligent Moving Camera covers up to the size of 4 Olympic stadiums.
- The only construction site security to automatically detect multiple incidents from short range to long range. It works in all directions at the same time, completely automatically controlling a moving PTZ Camera to follow the required action and confirm incidents.
The Viseum IMC Camera technology is the only one of its kind in the world: fixed and moving cameras on one common structure, working as one. It automatically detects multiple threats in all directions at the same time. Criminals rarely enter a construction site through the front door. In practice, no matter how they enter, where they go, or where they try to hide, Viseum can capture them. Viseum can follow them and its evidence can convict them.
- Poor surveillance video quality costs security organisations millions of dollars and thousands of staff hours each year.

Old Construction Site Security Systems
Construction site managers use expensive 24-hour manned security patrols and traditional cameras. This fails to deliver convictions needed to deter criminals and stop large-scale opportunist theft. One camera is never enough for traditional building site systems. If you have many cameras, they must be constantly watched to be a deterrent.
Construction site security systems cannot collect high-quality close-up video of when, where, and how a construction site is breached. The theft rarely happens close up to a security camera. It is usually missed completely because the Pan, Tilt and Zoom camera (PTZ Camera) was watching the wrong part of the construction site. Criminals steal from construction sites within just a few carefully planned seconds. They will make their escape with stolen goods, damaging the construction site’s buildings and infrastructure.
Before Viseum’s Construction Site Surveillance, the only way to increase security for a construction site was to increase the number of security guards. If criminals are caught, the poor video quality or no video means they are still not being held accountable.
Construction Site Camera System for High-Security
This shows how no one can identify a weak point of a construction site perimeter if Viseum construction site security cameras are protecting it.

Security Cameras UK Help Global Economies – Viseum Panoramic Security Camera
This example shows UK construction sites saving £1 million+ per week. Criminals study remote sites with low-cost security systems. They see low-risk/high-return opportunities for theft. Criminals with intent know that traditional security systems have to be pointing at them to see and record them. Such systems also require a high number of security cameras to cover all entry points of perimeter surveillance. Considering the poor performance in low light of any other camera, many remote sites are particularly vulnerable. They are targets for criminals to steal from and cause criminal damage. Construction site security is just one example of a security problem without a solution, until now. Equally, experts estimate the cost of plant theft alone just for the UK is around £1.5 million per week.
Intelligent surveillance using Viseum UK’s 360 Security Camera is changing this forever by providing greater coverage from fewer cameras. It delivers the images required to act as an effective deterrent and secure the conviction of the guilty parties if they ignore a Viseum camera system.
Construction Site Security
The availability of Viseum’s Intelligent PTZ Camera is putting a stop to large-scale opportunist theft. Viseum’s proven ‘virtual gigapixel’ camera technology captures quality evidence in lower light. In practice, this intelligent surveillance camera is trained to automatically look for incidents of concern. It provides better performance than 24/7/365 manned security services. It stops criminals who think they can get away with theft and criminal damage.
Described by a major UK police force as “Something we have long been waiting for”. Viseum’s building site systems use intelligent software for the camera to make its own decisions, based on what it has been instructed to look for. Viseum’s virtual gigapixel cameras cover an area of over 1 square km with just 4 cameras. This would take at least 40 of the industry’s top megapixel cameras.
A remote site intrusion is automatically confirmed. An alarm is automatically sent with relevant information about the incident. This includes a detailed description of the criminals. It also shows where else they have been on site and where they can be found. If the criminal is caught, they are shown detailed video evidence of their clothing. Even if they were wearing a mask, this evidence makes criminals plead guilty to the offence.
Construction site surveillance: what a site needs
A construction site changes every week and holds valuable plant and materials. It is often empty at night, and its surveillance must change as the site changes.
Build phases. At the start, the site is open ground with no buildings to mount cameras on. Later, scaffolding, cranes and new walls block views that were clear before. Choose cameras that can be moved and re-aimed as the build grows, and plan coverage again at each new phase.
No grid power. Many sites have no permanent supply for months.
Theft. Thieves target plant, fuel, cable, tools and materials. They study the site, find a gap in the cameras and work fast. Coverage must reach the whole boundary as well as the gate. A camera that turns to the event and follows the thieves stops them using blind spots.
Safety. Surveillance also protects the people who work on site. It records accidents, shows who entered the site and when, and helps to keep children and trespassers away from open trenches and machinery.
Evidence. An alarm without usable video rarely leads to a charge. Ask for a close-up of faces, clothing and vehicles, plus a wide view showing where the intruder came from and went. Ask how quickly the video reaches the police or the site owner.
Monitoring. Decide who receives alarms out of hours, at night and at weekends. Detection by the camera, with confirmation by an operator, brings a faster response than a recording checked the next morning.
Where Viseum fits. Viseum surveillance for major construction projects uses one camera that watches the whole site in every direction, day and night. It confirms each incident itself and records both a close-up and a wide view as evidence.
Frequently asked questions
How do you protect a building site with no grid power?
Use self-contained surveillance towers that carry their own power, recording and communications. They can stand anywhere on site and move as the work moves. When a temporary supply is installed, redeployable units can connect to it.
Where should construction site security cameras be placed?
Cover the boundary, the gates, the plant yard, fuel stores and material stores. Thieves rarely use the main gate, so the weak points are often the far fence and the back corners. Re-check the plan at every phase, because new buildings and scaffolding block views that were clear before.
Does construction site surveillance help with convictions?
It does when the video identifies the person. Many systems record a distant figure or miss the event because the camera faced the wrong way. Ask for a close-up of the face, clothing and vehicle, plus a wide view of the route in and out. Together they show what happened and who did it.
