Video surveillance systems for construction sites in Barcelona

At Dumo Security we install video surveillance systems for construction sites in Barcelona to protect containers, sheds, scaffolding and critical accesses without the need for fixed infrastructure. We deploy temporary video surveillance solutions for construction sites with quick installation, autonomous energy and remote monitoring so that the site is protected from the very first moment.

Our systems combine security cameras, Intrusion detection, intrusion detection, video analytics with artificial intelligence, connection to alarm receiving centre (ARC)) and official notification to the police thanks to our DGP approval no. 3805. We install in 4-5 working days and manage the legal documentation and GDPR compliance so you don't have to worry about anything.

Benefits of our construction site alarms

On a construction site, the risk is not only on the outside perimeter. It is also in the container where the tools are stored, in the shed with documentation and equipment, in the scaffolding that facilitates unauthorised access or in the façade most exposed to vandalism. Theft is not only a financial loss. It can also slow down productivity on site, delay deliveries and affect the continuity of the project.

At Dumo Security we install alarms for construction sites that work together with our video surveillance systems for construction sites to cover both perimeter surveillance and protection of critical points. We protect containers, scaffolding, cabins and accesses with intruder detection, real-time monitoring and operational response from our alarm receiving centre (ARC). In this way, the site is protected at all times with a professional system 24 hours a day.

Alarms for construction site containers against forced opening and tampering

The container often holds the most valuable tools on a construction site. If there is an unauthorised opening or attempted break-in, the problem is not only what is stolen: the next day's work rhythm and the safety of the other assets on the site are also affected.

For this reason, we install site container alarms with motion sensors, magnetic contacts and CCTV video surveillance systems in site containers linked to the system. Detection occurs the moment someone attempts to open or tamper with the access, not when the theft has already taken place.

Scaffolding alarms Barcelona against intrusion on facades

Scaffolding not only exposes the construction site itself. It can also become a means of entry to neighbouring homes, offices or buildings. In urban environments in Barcelona, protecting this point is key to reducing intrusion, vandalism and improper access after hours.

We install scaffolding alarms in Barcelona on facades, vertical accesses and sensitive areas. We combine motion detection, perimeter protection and mobile surveillance cameras to identify a real intrusion in critical areas. 

Video surveillance for construction sites against material theft

In many construction sites, the problem lies in small thefts of copper, cable, auxiliary machinery or construction materials that end up affecting site control and delivery times.

Our construction video surveillance system protects with AI video surveillance, video analytics and real-time monitoring. This reduces losses, improves the protection of building materials and prevents a repeated problem from paralysing the construction site.

Stand-alone 100% construction site camera and alarm systems

On many construction sites there is still no power supply or internet connection. That's why our construction site camera and alarm systems are ready to operate autonomously in such situations.

We work with solar panels, batteries and 4G connection so that the system combines video, alarm and remote monitoring without relying on existing supplies. The construction site is protected with an operational solution from day one, even in the initial phases, sites without connection or temporary enclosures.

Camera systems in site cabins for office areas

The site cabin or booth is usually outside the main perimeter, but inside it accumulates computers, plans, documentation, keys and sensitive material. When this area is not well protected, an incident can affect both the daily operations and the traceability of the project.

In these cases, we install camera systems in site cabins with motion sensors to cover this area with the same level of control as the rest of the site. It is an effective solution to reinforce site supervision and protect sensitive documentation. We also install mobile video surveillance solutions for site cabins without the need for an electrical or internet connection.

What equipment do we install in our video surveillance systems for construction sites?

Our video surveillance systems for construction sites are designed for demanding environments, with dust, rain, vibrations and risk of sabotage. We don't work with home equipment or makeshift solutions. We install professional-grade hardware so that the site has real protection from day one, even when there is no fixed infrastructure or supply available.

Each element of the system has a specific function within site safety. The key is not just to install security cameras or a construction site alarm. The key is to combine hardware, video capture, transmission, recording and detection to protect containers, sheds, scaffolding and perimeters with the same criteria as a permanent installation.

Dahua cameras with AI to avoid false alarms

We work with Dahua security cameras equipped with AI video surveillance, video analytics with artificial intelligence and real-time scene analysis capabilities. The system differentiates a person from an animal, an environmental movement or a punctual interference.

This reduces false alarms and improves the effectiveness of the response. Instead of generating unnecessary warnings, the system focuses attention on a real intrusion. For the site, this means less operational noise and more accurate protection of materials, access and critical areas.

Stand-alone system with solar panels, batteries and 4G router

Many construction sites start with no power, no network and no conditions for a conventional installation. That's why our equipment works with autonomous energy, batteries and industrial 4G router, without depending on the electricity supply or fixed internet.

This approach allows us to deploy temporary video surveillance for early stage construction sites, vacant lots or temporary enclosures without delaying protection. The direct benefit is that the site can be protected from the outset, without waiting for infrastructure to be in place.

Protection against frequency jammers and signal cut-offs

In some burglaries, the intruder tries to disable the system before acting. That is why we install equipment that is prepared to withstand frequency inhibitors and possible communication failures, ensuring that the signal reaches the alarm control centre correctly.

This layer of protection reinforces service continuity and prevents a signal incident from leaving the site exposed. For you, it means maintaining 24/7 coverage and responsiveness even in scenarios of sabotage or deliberate interference.

SD card recording with direct access and download from the app

In this type of installation, each camera is equipped with local storage via SD card. The recordings are stored for approximately 15 days and you can view and download images or videos directly from the application at any time.

This facilitates remote access, incident review and the availability of evidence without relying on third parties. For the site, it means having video recording, history and evidence ready for an insurance claim or report if an incident occurs.

Camera masts and anchorages for cameras without towers or fixed structure

There is not always a high point or a useful structure where equipment can be installed. That is why we work with telescopic masts, supports and anchors adapted to each environment to place the cameras at the right height without depending on video surveillance towers or auxiliary works.

This allows us to cover accesses, perimeters and transit areas quickly and without disrupting the operation of the site. 

This is how our surveillance works on construction sites

Our construction site surveillance service follows a clear operational protocol. Detect, verify, act and report. The aim is not just to record what has happened, but to intervene when there is still time to prevent damage.

At Dumo Security we work with remote monitoring, real-time supervision and permanent connection with our alarm receiving centre (ARC) so that every incident has a professional response 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

1

Intelligent detection in construction site containers and perimeters

The system analyses each event in real time using motion detection, scene rules and video analytics with artificial intelligence. It can distinguish between normal construction site activity and an intrusion in a container, a shed or an out-of-hours perimeter zone.

This allows action to be taken before someone manages to force an access or cross the perimeter completely.

2

Shielded transmission to the alarm centre

When the system detects an incident, the signal is transmitted to our 24-hour alarm centre for construction sites. We are not dependent on a fixed line or customer connectivity, which makes the solution more stable in temporary or early stage construction environments.

This ensures that no alert is left unattended and that the site maintains continuous surveillance even if it has no infrastructure of its own.

3

Human video verification to confirm the real threat

Once the alert is received, an operator accesses the image and performs a video verification within seconds. This step allows confirmation of whether it is a real threat, an out-of-hours operator or a non-risk situation.

Human intervention reduces false alarms and improves the quality of the response.

4

Notice to police managed by approved company

As an authorised private security company with DGP number 3805, we can officially notify the police in the event of a break-in, theft or vandalism detected on the construction site. This approval makes the difference between a professional installation connected to a alarm receiving centre and a camera that only records images.

A warning managed by an approved company has a longer operational lifetime than that of a private individual and speeds up the response to real incidents.

5

Incident registered on the mobile phone

When an incident is confirmed, the person in charge can receive the recording clip on their mobile phone as proof of the event. This provides immediate visibility, improves monitoring from any device and facilitates decision-making without the need to travel to the site.

The customer has useful evidence for complaints, internal reviews or insurance claims, with remote access from the mobile app and without relying on time-consuming processes.

Your video surveillance installation on site in 5 days

At Dumo Seguridad we take care of the entire video surveillance installation on construction sites so that you don't have to coordinate suppliers, review technical aspects or deal with the legal aspects. We analyse the site, define the critical points and leave the system operational with connection to our alarm receiving centre (ARC).

We do not work with standard solutions. We adapt each installation to the perimeter, to the containers, to the scaffolding and to the actual phase of the work so that you have total, useful and fast protection.

1. Tactical site audit and location of hotspots

The first step is to review the site with technical criteria. We analyse accesses, containers, scaffolding, huts and vulnerable areas to define a perimeter protection and intruder detection solution tailored to the site.

2. Video surveillance budget for construction sites

We prepare a transparent proposal according to the size, phase and risk of the work. We define the number of security cameras, sensors and type of power supply that you really need, without oversizing the installation.

3. Installation of CCTV systems for construction sites

The installation is carried out by our own technicians so that the system is operational quickly and with total control over the assembly. In this way, the work gains real coverage from the first day.

4. Full access to all cameras on site from your smartphone

We set up the mobile surveillance app so you can view live images, review recordings and maintain monitoring from anywhere. The entire system remains accessible in a simple and convenient way.

24/7 Monitoring

5. Legal certification and GDPR documentation

We also take care of the legal side. We deliver the necessary documentation linked to GDPR and regulatory compliance so that the installation is ready to operate legally from day one.

Everyone talks about prosegur and other companies, this is one of the most transparent companies I have seen:
First, top quality material (Ajax devices).

Second, full transparency, you must register in the application of the devices and Dumo is the one who manages everything, then if you decide to leave for whatever reason, you keep control of the devices and you manage them yourself (they do not become obsolete or blocked as in other companies).

Thirdly, human work, great salesmen and technicians willing to invest time to solve all your doubts.

Highly recommended!
