Use in the building materials trade: Camera towers from Video Guard offer demand-oriented protection
Theft is a frequent nuisance on construction sites. However, it also becomes problematic when the required materials do not reach their destination in the first place. The building materials trade is also increasingly affected by break-ins and theft. Many companies rely on permanently installed monitoring solutions such as alarm systems to counteract such business-damaging incidents. However, changing conditions such as increased availability of goods or extended storage areas make the use of temporary surveillance systems such as Video Guard a sensible addition to the security concept. The camera towers monitor automatically around the clock and the control center intervenes in the event of a threat.
The building materials trade plays an important role in the planning and implementation of construction projects. Here, construction companies, tradespeople and architects can obtain comprehensive advice on various building materials and purchase suitable materials for their projects – provided they are actually still available. This is because the rising prices of building materials in particular make them an attractive commodity for thieves. In most cases, the company premises are secured by a permanently installed surveillance solution supported by a local security service. However, the need for surveillance solutions can vary in line with business-related changes to the sales area.
Counter seasonal effects sensibly
Seasonal fluctuations occur in the building materials trade due to weather conditions. Spring and summer are considered peak seasons, which is why larger sales areas often need to be secured at these times. To monitor additional quantities of goods, it is advisable to book mobile, temporary security solutions such as Video Guard to continue to provide the best possible protection for assets such as metals. The camera towers are quickly delivered and ready for use. If they are temporarily no longer needed to guard an area, for example because fewer goods are on offer in the off-season, they can be picked up again just as quickly.
Accompany growth processes
In the event of expansion, new rental areas are often developed in order to be able to offer additional goods. Uninvited visitors can be kept out of these areas, for example, by installing a comprehensive security system such as Video Guard. Their size and color scheme alone make the camera towers a conspicuous presence on the site, deterring many potential intruders. The cameras’ AI video analytics immediately detect unauthorized access to the site so that trained staff in the control centre can take appropriate action. Thanks to the fast response time, intruders can often even be apprehended on site. This not only thwarts potential repeat offenders, but also prevents damage and theft.
Proactively protect building materials
With Video Guard, logistics and storage areas in the building materials trade can be comprehensively guarded at all times. The temporary use of camera towers is often a useful addition to permanently installed surveillance measures. In this way, valuable and scarce building materials can be protected against threats such as theft and vandalism at all times and as proactively as possible.
