Construction Site Cameras

Having robust surveillance at a construction site is absolutely essential — especially in fast-growing markets like Houston and Austin, where theft, vandalism and downtime are major threats. Across the U.S., construction site theft alone costs the industry over $1 billion annually.

Tools and small equipment account for around 60 % of incidents, while heavy machinery thefts can easily exceed $10,000 per loss event.

In Houston, property crime rates hover at about 45.98 incidents per 1,000 residents — nearly double the Texas average. With such elevated risk, any construction-project manager who overlooks job-site surveillance is exposing their project to real financial and operational loss.

Beyond the direct value of stolen equipment, the ripple effects of vandalism or unauthorized access are huge: when materials are stolen or damaged, work crews stop, schedules slip and budgets expand. In Austin for example, a local developer reported 36 separate theft incidents on one project since January 2019 — each one adding cost, delay and frustration.  

Surveillance technologies (cameras, real-time monitoring, motion analytics) have been shown to reduce theft events by up to 50-70 % when properly deployed.

For a company like yours — offering solar-powered remote monitoring in Houston and Austin — each prevented theft or unauthorized entry means fewer lost work-hours, fewer equipment replacements, and a stronger reputation for delivering on time and on budget.
