CCTV For Construction Sites
Digital CCTV, based in Milton Keynes, offers expert CCTV construction services ensuring high-quality digital security systems for various construction needs. These include site protection equipment systems, remote Monitoring, and audio announcements to deter theft and vandalism.
The theft of machinery from building sites has been a serious problem in recent years and continues to increase. Digital Security Group Monitoring provide a complete service delivering a range of site security 24/7, 365 days a year.
Construction sites require tailored security surveillance to account for the increased risks of vehicle thefts, perimeter intrusions, material thefts, unlawful access and targeted break-ins where high-value materials, fuel, plant or tools are stored on-site overnight or on weekends.

Specialist Construction Site Security
Our specialist construction site security team can recommend the right CCTV systems, with a full site analysis to establish key priorities and areas of concern, such as:
- Remote developments or construction sites with in-progress builds where mains electricity is unreliable or unavailable. In this case, a remote or solar-powered CCTV solution is preferable for guaranteed surveillance around the clock.
- Areas of exceptionally high risk include storage bays or delivery areas where costly materials and tooling are stored. Fixed CCTV cameras may be advisable and are commonly used for construction contractor yards to protect against the ongoing potential for break-ins.
- New-build premises before a first fix may require temporary CCTV or alarm solutions suited to providing immediate alerts when movement is detected.
- Construction site perimeters are adjacent to vehicular access routes or public rights of way. To ensure every aspect is monitored, we recommend mobile patrols or tower-mounted CCTV cameras with a broad range of coverage.
Multiple potential solutions are available, each carefully selected to address the individual security needs of your construction site and provide robust safeguards against potential incidents.

Construction Security System
The stats concerning construction site theft are frightening. More than ever, a construction security system is necessary for any business.
- Statistics from insurer Allianz Cornhill show that theft alone costs the construction industry £800M a year.
- A survey conducted by IronmogeryDirect found that more than £100 million of tools have been stolen in the UK since 2020.
- The Chartered Institute of Building revealed that 92% of respondents to its survey were directly affected by petty crime, with 21% stating that their construction sites were robbed weekly.

Why Is It Important?
According to CESAR (the UK’s Official Construction Equipment Security and Registration Scheme), as little as 5% of the unregistered plants are recovered.
FMB CEO Brian Berry said: “More than half of builders in the UK have fallen foul of tool theft with concerns growing over a crime wave continuing to wreak havoc across the construction industry. Tools are being stolen from vans and directly from construction sites, with some builders even being assaulted by would-be thieves…”
Tool loss, or the theft of any construction equipment, will incur a significant financial loss, cause disruption and increase downtime, which can only extend construction projects and increase costs. This highlights the need for effective construction site security.
