From a Dark Service Area to the Second Floor
After dark, a camera at a client’s construction site looked over a dim service area where equipment and a bin sit beside a concrete wall. A person moves through the shadows, then appears against a brightly lit stairway and goes up. According to Monitex Security, this construction site unauthorized entry caught on camera was spotted by the live monitoring team, who assessed it and called police right away.
A marked police SUV soon comes down the street past the orange barriers. Officers go in through a door along the site’s fencing. A second-floor camera then shows a corridor lined with coils of cable as an officer walks the person back through it.
Outside, officers gather at the door and along the fence while a police car waits with its lights on. Monitex reports that the suspect was taken into custody and transported to the precinct.
One person walking in after hours can quickly become a theft or liability problem. On construction sites, someone watching live can get police there while that person is still inside.
