Why sites get hit
What GTA Construction Sites Are Up Against
Job sites concentrate value in the open, empty out on a schedule everyone knows, and change shape every month. Fencing and signage alone do not stop any of it.
Equipment and tools overnight
Excavators, generators, compressors, and power tools sit in the open when the site empties out.
Copper, lumber, and materials
High-value materials disappear in bulk — mostly at night and on weekends.
Changing perimeters
Hoarding and fencing move as the build progresses, and access points shift week to week.
Quiet nights and weekends
Predictable downtime gives long, unwatched windows — a single overnight hit can stall the schedule.
No site power yet
Early phases often have no power or internet — solar and LTE options cover the gap.
Cameras nobody watches
Recorded-only CCTV documents the loss after it happened instead of interrupting it.
The difference
Cameras That Record vs Cameras That Are Watched Live
Most site cameras only capture what happened. Monitored cameras put a trained operator behind them during the hours the site is exposed — so activity is reviewed and acted on as it happens.
Recorded-Only Cameras
- Footage reviewed after the incident
- No one watching nights or weekends
- No live warning or escalation
- Evidence for a police report, not a response
Gazer Monitored Cameras
- Operators watch covered cameras live during monitored hours
- AI-assisted detection flags restricted-zone movement
- Voice-down warnings and escalation per your protocol
- Documented incident reports and activity logs
Live response
How Construction Site Monitoring Works
01 — Watch
Live operators watch covered cameras during your selected service hours, with AI-assisted detection flagging movement in restricted zones.
02 — Verify
Operators confirm what is actually happening before any action is taken — reducing false alarms and wasted call-outs.
03 — Respond
Voice-down warnings where speakers exist, and escalation to your contacts or emergency services per your approved protocol.
04 — Document
Confirmed incidents get written reports with video references — for the GC, the owner, and insurance records.
Coverage follows the build: full 24-hour coverage, or overnight, weekend, and holiday windows while the site is most exposed — with rapid-deploy and solar options before site power is in. Equipment is arranged as part of the managed monthly plan. Learn more about construction site monitoring.

Can you use our existing site cameras?
In many cases, yes. Compatible camera systems can connect into the monitoring workflow. A site review confirms compatibility, and where coverage gaps exist, rapid-deploy units or solar / off-grid options can help extend coverage.
What does "no upfront equipment cost available" mean?
On approved monthly plans, equipment can be included within the managed monthly service instead of a large upfront purchase. Availability depends on site requirements, equipment needs, connectivity, monitoring hours, and the approved service plan — some sites may require additional infrastructure work.
Can a temporary or short-term site be covered?
Yes. Coverage can follow the build — temporary sites, overflow laydown areas, and phase-based coverage are common, with rapid-deploy or solar units where power and internet aren't in place yet.
How does billing work?
Monitoring is provided as a managed monthly service. A monitoring specialist reviews your plan and monthly pricing with you before monitoring starts.
What happens when someone enters the site after hours?
During monitored hours, a live operator watching your covered cameras responds as the activity happens, following your approved response protocol — which can include live voice-down warnings, escalation to your approved contacts or emergency services when authorized, and documentation of the event.
Is this an alternative to overnight security guards?
For many sites, remote video monitoring covers the after-hours window while watching multiple camera views at once, often at a lower cost than staffing a full-time guard — and it can complement or reduce dependence on on-site coverage depending on the property.
How is the monthly plan priced?
Your monthly plan is scoped to your site — camera or zone count, monitoring hours, access support, event volume, reporting needs, number of sites, existing camera compatibility, and any added units, LTE backup, or solar options. Some sites run overnight, weekend, and holiday coverage; others choose full 24-hour coverage. Your review includes a monthly estimate for your site.
