New Level of Control Over the Working Progress

The construction of a residential building, an industrial building, an important facility or structure requires constant monitoring of literally everything. And until recently, such monitoring was carried out only in person: the personnel responsible for this had to be present or, at least, very often visit the construction site and monitor everything that was happening there. This was necessary - but it required considerable time spent on the road to the site and visiting all the important points, and the result largely depended on the human factor and therefore was often biased.

The development of video surveillance systems and high resolution time-lapse cameras has radically changed this state of affairs. Reasonable prices for video cameras designed for such systems have made them available to any state or private developer. And the quality of the images produced and other useful characteristics have made it possible to monitor everything that is happening without the need to be there personally. And as a result, the demand for video surveillance cameras and all related equipment from construction organizations is experiencing unprecedented growth.

The first component of such popularity is that if you place the cameras correctly, you can get an idea of ​​what is happening at any time, as soon as such a need arises. It remains only to determine what such literacy means.

For construction, it is primarily important to monitor the perimeter of the facility and all entry and exit routes. This will help you know whether all workers have come to work and how accurately this happened, who came to the facility during a certain period of time and who left, whether all material deliveries have been made, whether equipment, tools and building materials have left the construction site. This problem can be solved by placing surveillance cameras on lighting poles along the perimeter, as well as near gates and other entrances.

The second important point will be the work of all construction machines - from dump trucks and bulldozers to excavators and tower cranes. Do you need to know what any of these machines are doing right now? It's as easy as pie! You just need to install an CCTV time-lapse camera on them - and see everything almost through the eyes of the driver, excavator operator and crane operator.

The third point is tracking important places on the construction site or areas of the most intensive work. There is no consistency in this matter: temporary storage places for materials or tools, special work, the presence of a large number of personnel, the operation of equipment requiring supervision may appear in different places. As such needs arise, cameras are installed nearby, and as soon as the need disappears, the cameras are moved to new places.

Finally, it is not superfluous to evaluate the overall picture of the construction. And for this purpose, timelapse DSLR cameras are installed on various high-rise structures that surround the construction site - this is the only way to get the necessary angles.

There are many benefits to organizing video surveillance at construction sites. Management and leading specialists never have to guess what is happening at their facility and where - this can be found out at any second using cameras. Moreover, the system can be organized in such a way that it will not matter where exactly the observer is - in a trailer on the territory of the construction site itself or on another continent.

Entry, exit and presence of any people on the territory of the construction site becomes much more controlled. This significantly simplifies security and increases the legal protection of the organization in case of any emergency situations. Because in case of anything, you can say for sure whether there were strangers on the site, where they were, what they looked like and what they did.

The combination CCTV 4K and time-lapse cameras give you the control over the delivery schedule, as well as the receipt, storage and use of tools, materials and equipment, is dramatically improved.

The safety of the work being carried out also increases just as sharply. Firstly, because everything that happens is recorded and it is possible to quickly respond to situations. Secondly, because workers who know about the surveillance, willingly or unwillingly, become more disciplined.

You also get an opportunity to demonstrate the progress of work to the customers or investors in the most visual way. And this, in turn, seriously affects the reputation and image of the company, and therefore its place in the market, the flow of orders and, ultimately, profit.

So today a serious construction site without video surveillance cameras is already a thing of the past. Because the benefit of such systems is obvious to any developer.
