CONSTRUCTION SITE SECURITYConstruction Site Security Cameras | Wireless, Solar-Powered & Professionally Monitored
Protect your site, equipment, and materials with managed security camera systems designed for construction, commercial, and residential projects across Australia.
The ProblemConstruction Sites Are High-Risk Environments
Unoccupied construction sites are among the most frequently targeted locations for theft, vandalism, and unauthorised access. Without reliable on-site surveillance, the costs quickly add up — stolen materials, damaged plant equipment, delayed project timelines, and increased insurance premiums.
Traditional security responses are expensive and slow. Fixed CCTV systems require trenching, mains power, and permanent installation that does not suit short-term or temporary projects. Security guards provide physical presence but cannot monitor every area of a large site simultaneously.
The ArmourTech Alternative
Wireless, solar-powered security camera systems that are deployed quickly, operate without mains power or site Wi-Fi, and are monitored 24 hours a day by licensed operators.
What Is a Managed Site Security Camera System?
Service OverviewA managed site security camera system is a fully operated surveillance solution. ArmourTech supplies, installs, and monitors the cameras on your behalf. You do not need to purchase equipment, manage software, or respond to alerts yourself.
The system combines solar-powered cameras with 4G/5G wireless connectivity and professional monitoring from a graded control room. Services are available on flexible hire terms.

How It Works
From Enquiry to Monitoring — How It Works
-
Consultation
You contact ArmourTech with your site details. We discuss your project type, site size, access points, risk areas, and monitoring requirements. There is no obligation and no site visit required for an initial quote.
-
Site Assessment
For larger or complex sites, an ArmourTech technician conducts an on-site assessment to map camera placement, coverage zones, and escalation procedures.
-
System Configuration
Cameras are configured for your site before deployment. Detection zones, monitoring hours, and response protocols are set according to your requirements.
-
Installation
Our technicians install cameras on ground mounts or poles. Solar panels and battery packs are fitted. 4G/5G connectivity is established. No trenching or mains power connection is required. Most standard deployments are completed within two to three business days.
-
Live Monitoring (Optional)
Once installed, your site is added to our monitoring schedule. Operators in our graded control room begin monitoring during agreed hours.
-
Event Response
When a camera detects movement within a monitored zone, our operators visually verify the event. Verified threats trigger a pre-agreed response: audio warning, strobe activation, contact to your site manager, or escalation to emergency services.
-
Ongoing Maintenance
ArmourTech performs daily system health checks. If a camera requires servicing, relocation, or battery maintenance, our technicians attend the site. Incident footage is available on request.

The Technology Behind ArmourTech Systems
Understanding the technology in your security system helps you make an informed decision.
-
Solar Power
4 Days Autonomous Power
High-Capacity Lithium Battery
Operates in Shaded & Winter Conditions
ArmourTech cameras are powered by solar panels paired with high-capacity lithium battery packs. The solar panel charges the battery during daylight hours. The battery powers the camera, 4G/5G modem, and onboard computer continuously, including through the night and during extended periods of overcast weather. Standard battery configurations provide a minimum of four days of autonomous operation without solar input.
-
4G and 5G Wireless Connectivity
No Site Wi-Fi Required
HD Video Transmission
5G Ready
Cameras transmit live video to the monitoring control room and the ArmourTech app over 4G/5G mobile data networks. No site Wi-Fi, cable runs, or fixed broadband connection is required. 4G connectivity provides sufficient bandwidth for continuous HD video. 5G connectivity delivers higher data speeds and lower latency where available.

Camera Specifications
Colour Night Vision
People & Vehicle Detection
Onboard AI Processing
Cameras capture high-definition video with colour night vision capability using large-aperture lenses. People and vehicle detection analytics are applied at the camera level. The onboard processor distinguishes between human figures, vehicles, and environmental movement such as trees or shadows, reducing false alarms.
-
Monitoring Control Room (Optional)
ASIAL Licensed
A1 Graded Facility
Trained Operators
ArmourTech operates through an ASIAL-licensed monitoring control room — the highest standard of monitoring room certification in Australia. Control room operators verify events before escalating a response, protecting clients from unnecessary emergency service callouts.

Security Monitoring
How Security Monitoring Works
Many security camera systems record footage but provide no active monitoring. ArmourTech offers a different model — your cameras are actively monitored during agreed hours by licensed security operators.
-
Detection
Cameras use people and vehicle detection analytics to identify movement within defined zones. When the system detects activity, an alert is sent to the monitoring control room within seconds.
-
Operator Verification
A monitoring operator reviews the live or near-live camera feed to assess the nature of the activity. Verification before response prevents unnecessary emergency service callouts.
-
Escalation and Response
If the event is verified as a genuine intrusion, the operator initiates the pre-agreed response protocol — audio warning, strobe activation, contacting the site manager, or escalation to emergency services.
-
Incident Recording and Reporting
All verified events are logged with timestamps, operator notes, and footage clips. Documentation is available for insurance claims, legal proceedings, or internal site management.
