Practical strategies for securing active job sites — from temporary access credentials to after-hours perimeter monitoring — without permanent infrastructure.
U.S. construction sites lose over $1 billion in equipment annually to theft. The combination of high-value portable equipment, rotating personnel, and minimal permanent security infrastructure makes active construction sites among the most vulnerable commercial environments.
Effective construction site security requires three layers: temporary access credentials tied to active contract periods (auto-expiring when scope closes), AI-powered perimeter surveillance with after-hours monitoring, and a digital on-site roster that gives superintendents real-time visibility into who is on site at any moment.
The key constraint on construction site security is infrastructure: no permanent cabling, no server rooms, and a footprint that changes as the project progresses. KastleMobileSentry® VideoGuarding is designed for exactly this environment — wireless or solar-powered cameras, mobile credentials with no hardware to return, and 24/7 SOC monitoring that scales with the project.
