Construction Site Security

Clarke Construction Security (CCS) provides temporary CCTV and access control systems, including intruder and scaffold alarms for the protection of construction sites and void properties. The systems are typically used to prevent staff theft, manage all site operations, check health and safety procedures are followed and manage unwanted access. All of these functions are carried out remotely as well as on site.

CCS chose iWatch for the remote monitoring and surveillance aspect of its service as it is able to provide 24/7 coverage of any site, however temporary. IWatch are also able to cater for the rapidly changing requirements of a construction site as building work progresses. CCS considered iWatch's BS8418 compliance critical as Carl Clarke, MD of CCS, explains;

"Reducing false alarms and only requesting a police response to a confirmed alarm reflects very positively on the quality of service we deliver."

Clarke Construction also offers its customers a unique, dedicated, motor bike alarm response team - City Patrol and Response Ltd (CPR). This is a rapid response and key-holding facility which usually sees its drivers arrive at a site well before the police. iWatch is able to monitor all responses throughout because each bike rider has a helmet mounted CCTV camera. This helps to ensure the safety of the patrol and audit all their actions for customers.

Carl Clarke again, "It is vital that our CCTV systems can be controlled from a central monitoring station like iWatch. We need remote surveillance so that our customers can view exactly what is going on at their property. Our motor bike response team also carries cameras and records all response call outs - they must have 24/7 coverage. We have been using iWatch as it provides a flexible, thorough and highly reliable network based monitoring service using TeleEye transmission products to provide high quality CCTV images."

Clarke Construction offers an invaluable service to its customers made possible by exceptional 24/7 monitoring by iWatch and excellent monitoring products from TeleEye. A winning combination!
