Smart Surveillance: Nationwide
Job Site Protection

January 07, 2026 AI Asset Protection By Scott MacMartin

Protect your heavy equipment and materials nationwide. In an industry where copper theft and equipment "shrinkage" cost billions annually, traditional CCTV is no longer enough.

AI-Formed Security: Proactive Asset Protection

For General Contractors and developers, an active job site is an operational asset, but it is also a target. Standard motion-detection cameras often fail in these environments, triggering hundreds of false alarms due to wind, stray animals, or shifting debris. Concerto Networks solves this through AI-driven surveillance that understands exactly what it is looking at.

By moving from simple recording to intelligent analysis, we provide a security perimeter that alerts you to real threats while ignoring the noise of an active construction environment.

1. Human-Form Detection: Eliminating False Alarms

The most frustrating part of site security is the 2:00 AM phone call triggered by a stray cat or a blowing tarp. AI-formed security uses deep learning to categorize objects in the field of view.

  • Human vs. Nature: Our cameras distinguish between a human intruder and environmental motion. An alert is only generated when a human form is identified within a restricted zone after hours.
  • Intrusion Zones: Digitally "paint" a perimeter around high-value areas like copper storage or heavy machinery. If a person enters that zone, an immediate notification is pushed to your security team.
  • Object Analytics: The system can identify if an object has been removed from a designated area, flagging potential theft in real-time.

2. License Plate Recognition (LPR): Automated Vehicle Logs

Theft on job sites often involves vehicles. Tracking every truck that enters or leaves the site is critical for both security and operational auditing.

  • Automated Gate Logs: Capture and log the license plates of every vehicle. This provides an indisputable record of who was on-site during a specific time window.
  • Blacklist/Whitelist: Automatically flag unauthorized vehicles. If a plate that doesn't belong to a sub-contractor or vendor appears on-site at midnight, local law enforcement can be notified immediately.
  • Searchable Data: Need to know when a specific equipment rental truck arrived? Search by license plate and get a timestamped video clip in seconds.

3. Remote Viewing: Single-Pane-of-Glass Management

When you are managing a portfolio of projects across multiple states, you can't be everywhere at once. Centralized cloud viewing bridges the gap between Detroit headquarters and your jobs in Dallas or Denver.

  • Mobile Command Center: View live feeds and recorded events from any job site in your portfolio through a single, secure mobile application.
  • Timelapse Progress Tracking: Beyond security, use your high-definition cameras to create timelapse videos of your build progress. It’s a powerful tool for stakeholder reporting and marketing.
  • Multi-Site Standardization: We deploy the same camera hardware and software interface across all your sites nationwide, ensuring your project managers don't have to learn five different systems.

The Site Security Pro-Tip

"Surveillance should be your first sub-contractor on-site and the last one to leave. Protecting your materials during the 'grey shell' phase is just as important as protecting the finished boardroom. AI allows you to maintain that perimeter without the cost of 24/7 physical guards."
