Construction site theft costs Canadian contractors over $1 billion annually. Alarm Guard Security protects job sites with solar-powered security cameras, intrusion alarms, and 24/7 professional monitoring, helping prevent equipment theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access from groundbreaking through project completion.
Copper wire, HVAC components, plumbing, and electrical panels are stripped overnight. At $8/lb, a single hour of stripping yields thousands. Damage costs often exceed the value of what's taken.
Skid steers, excavators, generators, and trailers are stolen and sold across provincial lines or exported. Only about 1 in 5 stolen pieces of heavy equipment is ever recovered. For most contractors, a theft is a total loss.
Professional-grade tools, survey equipment, and battery packs are portable, high-value, and easy to move through informal resale channels. A van break-in during a night shift can wipe out a trade crew's entire kit.
50% of construction site theft involves someone with legitimate site access a subcontractor, supplier, or employee. Access control with entry logs creates accountability that deters insider losses without confrontation.
When you're running multiple active sites simultaneously different GCs, different subcontractor rosters, different risk profiles security becomes a coordination problem as much as a technology one. Our centralized multi-site monitoring platform gives you a single dashboard showing every site's alarm status, camera feeds, access logs, and incident history, in real time, from any device.
You can arm or disarm individual sites remotely, issue and revoke contractor credentials across all locations from one admin panel, and receive consolidated alerts that tell you which site has an issue and what kind without needing to log in to five separate systems.
Off-grid HD cameras requiring no permanent power or internet, deployed within 48 hours of your assessment. Covers site perimeters, equipment yards, material storage, and access points. Cellular-connected for remote access and live monitoring. Repositionable as your site evolves.
Trained security professionals watch your site feeds in real time during your highest-risk windows: nights, weekends, statutory holidays. When suspicious activity is detected, they respond immediately. Theft is stopped before it's complete, not reviewed after it's done.
Cellular-connected motion sensors and perimeter intrusion detection that operate without on-site Wi-Fi or a landline. Triggers instant alerts to our 24/7 monitoring centre and to your site superintendent wherever they are.
