Top 5 Benefits of Construction Site Cameras
In today’s high-risk construction environment, securing your site isn’t optional — it’s essential. With rising theft, increasing compliance obligations, and the need for greater project visibility, many companies are turning to advanced, solar-powered security camera towers as a smart investment.
At Eyes On Site, we specialise in solar-powered, wireless security cameras for hire, purpose-built to protect construction, civil, and remote sites across New Zealand. Here are the top 5 benefits of deploying security cameras on your construction site — and why more project managers are choosing temporary surveillance towers to stay protected and in control.
1. Theft Prevention and Deterrence
Construction sites are a common target for theft — from tools and materials to high-value machinery. Visible security cameras act as a powerful deterrent, reducing the likelihood of opportunistic or organised crime. Our solar-powered security towers offer 24/7 coverage, even on sites with no power or internet, ensuring continuous protection.
With AI-powered motion detection and instant alert notifications, Eyes On Site helps stop theft before it happens — saving you time, money, and downtime.
2. Improved Safety Monitoring
Site safety is paramount. Security cameras do more than prevent theft — they also help monitor health and safety compliance across your project. Whether it's checking PPE use or capturing incidents for review, having cameras in place can significantly improve worker accountability and reduce the risk of serious harm.
Our 360-degree camera systems provide full visibility of your site, allowing real-time oversight and historical footage access for investigations or toolbox talks.
3. Better Project Management and Workflow Tracking
Cameras aren’t just about security — they’re also valuable tools for project management. With remote access to live feeds, site managers can monitor deliveries, track subcontractor activity, and review daily progress without always being onsite.
This level of visibility helps streamline communication between teams and can lead to faster decision-making, fewer delays, and improved site coordination.
4. Insurance Benefits and Dispute Resolution
Construction projects often face disputes — whether it’s over deliveries, damage, or safety breaches. Recorded footage provides undeniable proof in the event of insurance claims, legal disputes, or subcontractor issues.
Many insurers also offer reduced premiums or favourable terms when camera surveillance is in place, recognising the reduced risk profile of a monitored site.
5. Remote Access and Real-Time Management
Eyes On Site’s camera towers are fully wireless and can be accessed remotely from anywhere. Whether you're managing multiple sites or offsite for the day, you’ll have real-time access via our mobile app.
Our systems are monitored around the clock, with support from a dedicated team that can respond to alerts and notify site managers if action is required. It’s site security — simplified and accessible.
