Construction Site Security Cameras — Temporary, Solar-Powered, and Built for Active Job Sites
Construction sites lose an estimated $1 billion in equipment and materials every year across the U.S. Brivy IT deploys rapid-install, solar-powered camera systems with LTE connectivity — so your site is monitored from day one, even before utilities are connected.
Why Construction Sites Need Purpose-Built Camera Systems
Standard commercial camera systems fail on construction sites for predictable reasons. Here’s what we solve for every deployment.
No Power Available
Most job sites don't have permanent electrical service during early phases. Our solar-powered camera systems generate their own power and include battery backup for overnight and cloudy conditions.
No Internet Connection
Without wired internet, traditional cameras can't transmit footage. Our systems use LTE/cellular connectivity to stream live video and send alerts to your phone — no ISP required.
Constantly Changing Layout
As buildings go up and equipment moves, camera positions need to change. Our mobile trailer and pole-mount systems relocate in minutes, not days.
Overnight Theft & Vandalism
Equipment theft peaks between 6 PM and 6 AM. AI-powered night vision cameras with active deterrence detect intruders and trigger audible warnings before anything is taken.
OSHA Documentation
OSHA inspections require documentation of safety compliance. Our cameras provide continuous recording that serves as compliance evidence and liability protection.
Liability & Dispute Resolution
Time-lapse footage and continuous recording resolve disputes about project timelines, subcontractor activity, and on-site incidents — protecting your business from costly claims.
Our Construction Camera Solutions
We deploy three types of construction camera systems depending on your site size, phase, and budget.
Verkada MT81 Mobile Trailer
Our flagship construction security solution. The Verkada MT81 is a self-contained, solar-powered mobile surveillance trailer with multiple 4K cameras, LTE connectivity, built-in storage, and AI analytics. Tow it to your site, extend the mast, and you're live in under an hour. Learn more at /physical-security/trailer-cameras/.
Solar Pole-Mount Cameras
Individual solar-powered cameras mounted on temporary poles or existing structures. Ideal for supplementing trailer coverage or securing smaller sites. Each unit operates independently with its own solar panel, battery, and cellular modem.
Temporary Fixed Cameras
For sites with temporary power available, we deploy hardwired cameras on construction-grade mounts. These provide the highest resolution and most reliable connectivity when site infrastructure allows.
Camera Technology Partners
We select the right platform based on your project requirements, existing systems, and budget.
Verkada
Our primary construction camera platform. Cloud-native, AI-powered, with the MT81 mobile trailer purpose-built for job sites. Verkada cameras include built-in storage, so footage is preserved even if connectivity drops.
Lumana
AI overlay platform that can enhance existing cameras with intelligent analytics. Ideal for sites where you already have cameras but need smarter alerts and reduced false positives.
Rhombus
Cloud-managed cameras with strong multi-site management. Good fit for general contractors managing multiple active job sites from a single dashboard.
Turing
NDAA-compliant cameras with on-premise recording options. Selected for government-funded construction projects or sites with specific compliance requirements.
Key Features for Construction Site Monitoring
Every construction camera deployment from Brivy IT includes these capabilities.
Remote Live Viewing
Watch your job site live from your phone, tablet, or computer — anywhere with internet. Check on subcontractor activity, deliveries, and site conditions without driving to the site.
AI-Powered Alerts
Receive instant notifications for people, vehicles, or activity in restricted zones. AI filtering eliminates false alerts from animals, wind, and weather — you only get notified when it matters.
Night Vision & Thermal
Advanced IR and thermal imaging provides clear footage in complete darkness. See intruders, monitor equipment, and document overnight activity with the same clarity as daytime.
Time-Lapse Documentation
Automatic time-lapse captures your project from groundbreaking to completion. Use it for investor updates, marketing materials, dispute resolution, and project timeline documentation.
Weatherproof & Rugged
IP67-rated housings withstand rain, snow, dust, extreme heat, and below-zero Utah winters. These cameras are built for outdoor construction environments, not climate-controlled offices.
Two-Way Audio & Deterrence
Built-in speakers allow remote talk-down capability. When AI detects an intruder after hours, automated or live audio warnings can be triggered before police are even dispatched.
A commercial general contractor in Lehi was losing $15,000–$20,000 per month in copper wire theft across three active job sites. Traditional security guards covered one site at a time, and the sites had no power or internet during the foundation phase. We deployed Verkada MT81 mobile trailers at all three locations — solar-powered, LTE-connected, with AI detection zones covering material staging areas and equipment yards. Within the first week, the system detected and deterred two overnight intrusion attempts through automated audio warnings. Over the following six months, theft dropped to zero across all three sites. The contractor estimated the camera system paid for itself in the first 30 days.
- ✓Active construction site with no permanent power or internet
- ✓General contractor managing multiple job sites across Utah
- ✓High-value equipment and materials stored on site overnight
- ✓Need OSHA compliance documentation and time-lapse recording
- ✓Want remote visibility into job site activity from anywhere
- ✓Require rapid deployment — cameras operational within 24 hours
- ✗Permanent facility with existing power and wired internet — a traditional camera system is more cost-effective
- ✗Indoor-only monitoring with no outdoor or perimeter requirements
- ✗Very small project under 30 days where basic trail cameras may suffice
- ✗Site already has a functioning camera system that just needs maintenance
