But how can companies and property owners best protect their construction sites from theft and vandalism? We present 3 tips that can significantly increase the security of your construction site. ## Prevent Theft and Vandalism on the Construction Site To protect construction sites from unauthorized access, there are various measures that property owners should already take when setting up the construction site. Construction projects must be protected as thoroughly as possible – especially when workers stop work and the construction site stands idle at night. Three valuable measures can help here. ### 1. Construction Site Surveillance – Protect Against Theft with Video Cameras [**Construction site surveillance**](/en/mieten/baustelleneinrichtung/baustellenueberwachung/s) is part of a comprehensive safety concept on construction sites. With the help of video cameras, construction sites can be protected from theft, property damage, sabotage, and vandalism. Surveillance can be carried out at specific points or permanently and must comply with data protection regulations. In this process, parts of the construction site or the entire construction project are equipped with cameras that record any irregularities and transmit the data further. Depending on the provider, various measures are possible in case of unauthorized access: for example, live announcements via loudspeaker can ask persons to leave the construction site immediately, or warning systems can be activated that enable direct police deployment. #### Construction Site Surveillance with Mobile Security System For safe day and night surveillance, there are various solution providers – an expert in construction site surveillance and lighting is [**LivEye**](https://liveye.com/), which offers mobile security solutions. A LivEye security system, the LiveEye ONE, is also in use at the klarx logistics center. The advantage of mobile cameras: The deployment location and thus the focus can be adapted to the construction site at any time, as they can be easily moved. The surveillance radius of 200 m enables flawless monitoring and maximum security. Sensitive areas can be blanked out or pixelated at any time, ensuring no violation of the GDPR. LivEye offers an all-in-one solution. #### How LivEye Works In case of irregularities, the emergency call center is alerted via LivEye. At night, light signals are additionally activated. Via live announcement over the loudspeakers, unauthorized persons are directly asked to leave the premises immediately. If this request is not complied with, LivEye alerts the police or security guards. All recordings are documented and analyzed. ## Construction Site Surveillance – Costs When comparing the costs of construction site surveillance with the damage that can be avoided, the financial expense is minimal. High-quality surveillance systems are available from 700 euros per month, with monthly costs varying depending on additional services. Construction site surveillance using video cameras is one of the safest and most cost-effective options to protect your construction projects from crime. [Request Machine Now](/en/mieten) ### 2. Security Personnel on Construction Sites In addition to digital security solutions, it is also possible to invest in trained security personnel. The advantage is that personal intervention can occur immediately if unauthorized persons are on the premises. Additionally, more person checks can be carried out, even during the day. This can reduce security risks on the construction site. However, additional personnel is always associated with additional costs. Digital surveillance of the construction site can save resources and money in this regard and is an efficient alternative to traditional security personnel. ### 3. Construction Fencing Against Theft and Vandalism To protect construction sites from theft and vandalism, construction fencing is always recommended. It makes access to the property more difficult and should be placed before the start of construction work. Additionally, locks are recommended that make entering the construction site almost impossible. Construction fencing is standard equipment for every construction site, but does not offer 100% protection against theft and vandalism. ## Rent Construction Site Equipment at klarx: Rent Video Surveillance and Construction Fencing At klarx, you will find not only a large selection of over 530,000 construction machines but also construction equipment for site setup.
