The Challenge

Stellar Construction needed a reliable security solution to protect their Avanti Legacy Parkview jobsite and many others from potential threats, including trespassing, theft, and vandalism. With valuable equipment on-site and work progressing, jobsite security was a top priority. Traditional security measures, like fences, provided some protection but left gaps that could be exploited by intruders. The company needed a solution that could provide real-time surveillance, quickly identify threats, and enable a fast response to minimize risks. Without an efficient monitoring system, they faced the possibility of costly losses, project delays, and increased liability concerns.

TrueLook Solution

To enhance their security strategy, the team invested in a TrueLook TrueDeter PTZ Unit with the Jobsite Monitoring service. This allowed a certified monitoring team to actively oversee the site after hours, eliminating blind spots and providing an extra layer of protection. The PTZ camera operated in guard tour mode, meaning it continuously scanned the jobsite to detect any unusual activity. If an incident occurred, the monitoring team could quickly verify whether it was a legitimate threat and escalate the response as needed. With this system in place, Stellar Construction had the confidence that their site was being watched, even when no one was physically present.

The Results

One night, an unauthorized individual attempted to breach the site, hopping the fence and putting both site safety and project assets at risk. The cameras immediately detected the trespasser in real-time and notified the monitoring team. Within 72 seconds, the team verified the threat. Once Stellar Construction confirmed the incident, the monitoring team wasted no time and placed a call to law enforcement taking only 1 minute and 26 seconds.

"TrueLook’s monitoring service worked exactly as we hoped—fast, accurate, and effective. We had peace of mind knowing their team was watching over our site and responding in real-time. Thanks to them, the police were on-site in minutes, and we avoided what could have been a costly incident."

Thanks to TrueLook’s rapid threat verification and escalation, the police arrived on-site within just 7 minutes of the cameras catching the threat. The trespasser was caught before any damage or theft could occur, preventing a costly security breach for Stellar Construction. This seamless, real-time intervention showcased the power of TrueLook’s Jobsite Monitoring service—proving that when every second counts, having a proactive security solution makes all the difference.
