Role of Surveillance Cameras in Utility Construction Sites

The utility construction industries mitigate risks, reduce operational costs, and improve compliance measures through surveillance cameras on the construction site.

FREMONT, CA: The importance of video camera surveillance on construction sites goes beyond preventing workers from taking materials and tools home, although this is an important aspect. Construction projects can benefit greatly from surveillance cameras, and contractors can perform their jobs more efficiently. A video camera can help gather workflow data, market projects more dynamically, and resolve disputes. These tools are changing the way construction is done with features such as time-lapse video and cloud connectivity.

Utility companies and contractors can keep track of their projects, document progress, and keep projects on schedule with construction cameras. Construction cameras are important for contractors working on utility projects.

A construction camera can be useful in solving the following challenges in utility construction:

Maintain public relations and project transparency: A project funded by taxpayer dollars must maintain transparency with the public. Sharing high-resolution photos and time-lapse videos of your utility project on your project website, social media channels, and traditional media outlets will benefit your project. Building and maintaining public relations and transparency will be easier.

Help keep projects on schedule: The tight deadlines of utility projects require staying on schedule. Construction cameras enable your team and you to keep track of milestones throughout the project to ensure it is completed on time, check for delays, and confirm deliveries.

Create an indisputable visual record of projects: Your online camera console will access your construction camera archive from day one. It is easy to navigate and search this online archive for your project photos. If an incident occurs or a claim is made about your project, the photos can be retrieved quickly, even if they were taken years ago. Photographic evidence can prevent some disputes from escalating into litigation, saving you time, money, and headaches.

Ensure safety procedures are followed: Utility contractors and safety officers can only be in some places. This implies that there are potential safety violations that go unnoticed on the construction site. Using surveillance cameras to catch safety violations is a good way to determine where injuries occur and their root cause.
