Benefits

Strong deterrent effect
Reduction in theft
High adaptability
Standardization and efficiency

Thefts on construction sites and storage areas are a growing challenge nationwide, causing significant financial losses and project delays. This situation calls for more efficient and standardized security solutions to effectively protect these vulnerable sites.

There is a clear need for a standardized approach to securing construction sites, storage areas, and equipment yards in order to reduce theft on a national scale (for example, approximately €150,000 in damages annually in Bremen alone). Current measures are often local initiatives that prove too resource‑intensive and require optimization. Alarm connections are not standardized and vary depending on the location.

The goal was to develop a nationwide standardized modular system that can be adapted to the specific site and risk potential. This approach aims to prevent the loss of materials, equipment, and tools on unsecured construction sites and storage areas. In an initial evaluation, the sites were divided into two categories:

  • Smaller construction sites

  • Vehicle parking and storage areas

For smaller construction sites, the mobile AI-supported video security system “Reconeyez” was selected. This wireless system is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and offers a battery life of approximately six months. It is mounted using magnetic holders and can be activated within minutes via an app. The system consists of a robust case housing up to four cameras and a wireless transmitter, with optional motion detectors and contact sensors. The cameras stream footage to the cloud and only alert for relevant events such as theft, ignoring animals. Construction managers can access images and alerts via the app and control the system’s activation remotely.

For vehicle parking and storage areas, a surveillance tower with a telescoping mast and alarm features is recommended. The tower serves as a deterrent and can be equipped with solar panels for power supply. It includes six cameras and a wireless transmitter, with the option to add motion detectors and contact sensors. The cameras send footage to a cloud-based system for evaluation and notify an external control center in case of relevant incidents.
