Total Site Security

Designed to Protect Your Construction Site

Construction sites contain valuable materials, equipment and machinery and are often targeted outside working hours. BauWatch provides active site safety and security designed to deter, detect and respond to incidents, helping prevent loss, damage and disruption, day and night.

Highly Visible On-Site Deterrence

Our tall, clearly visible security systems are designed to discourage theft and unauthorised access before an incident occurs, not just record it after the fact.

Full Visibility & Incident Reporting

Access live footage and recordings via the MyBauWatch platform, with clear incident reports provided to support site management, insurance and accountability.

24/7 Monitoring & Immediate Response

Your site is monitored around the clock by our NSI Gold–accredited alarm receiving centre, with live audio intervention and rapid response when suspicious activity is detected.

Reliable Power & Connectivity

Wired and solar-powered options with 4G connectivity ensure continuous site security, even on locations without fixed power or internet access.

Get in Touch

The team did a great job and stopped the break-in escalating. We were alerted straight away and BauWatch had the police on site in no time at all and the intruders were arrested.

Our mobile towers use intelligent video analytics to detect people and vehicles within agreed time windows. Alerts are sent to our 24/7 in-house Alarm Response Centre, where trained specialists verify events in real time and take immediate action (audio challenge, notify police or your nominated security partner).

We typically install within 48 hours. A free site check maps perimeter, entrances and blind spots; we then recommend the right number and placement. Towers work with or without mains (solar options available).

Wired towers include an integrated battery that keeps the system running for up to 48 hours during power loss. We also offer autonomous Solar systems (solar + battery + generator) for sites without mains power. Automated daily remote checks and our service platform identify issues fast; many are fixed remotely, and our technicians handle on-site repairs where needed.

Typically not. Guarding costs—especially with night surcharges—often exceed the cost of our 24/7 monitored solution. Human-only patrols are also more prone to gaps and error. BauWatch provides continuous, verified monitoring with immediate audio challenge and escalation, delivering stronger prevention and better value per protected hour.

Yes. We mask or avoid public space, use clear signage and follow GDPR. Footage is retained for 28 days, access is role-based, and we don’t store biometric identifiers (e.g., faces/number plates) beyond incident evidence.
