How does verified security protect construction sites from theft and equipment loss?

Construction sites are frequent targets for thieves because tools, vehicles, and trailers are often left unattended after hours.

Conventional security, like basic motion sensors, door contacts, or CCTV that only records, does little to stop determined criminals. In one recent incident, thieves cut through the floor of a construction trailer and stole $90,000 worth of equipment, crippling operations before crews even arrived for work.

Verified security works differently.

Sonitrol’s Verified Active Audio technology monitors trailers, compounds, and vehicles in real time, detecting sounds such as prying, cutting, drilling, or unauthorized entry as they begin.

Trained operators listen immediately, verify the intrusion, and relay live information to police.

Because the alarm is confirmed, law enforcement responds with priority, often arriving while the criminals are still on site.

This early detection and rapid verification helps stop theft before equipment disappears, keeps projects on schedule, and prevents costly delays, insurance hikes, and productivity losses.
