Scaffolding Alarm Systems

Security and Risk Mitigation

Construction site theft represents a significant industry challenge, impacting project timelines and insurance costs. Our advanced scaffolding alarm service combines visual monitoring, audio deterrence and professional security response:

  • Motion-triggered cameras detect and record intrusion attempts

  • Powerful siren and warning beacon activates to deter intruders

  • Security monitoring station provides 24/7 professional surveillance

  • Complete photographic evidence of any incidents

  • Meets insurance and site security requirements

Professional Security Monitoring

All scaffolding alarm triggers are managed through a professional security monitoring station. The monitoring process includes:

  • Real-time image verification

  • Alert assessment by security professionals

  • Siren activation when intrusion is confirmed

  • Direct communication with emergency services when required

  • Incident logging and reporting

  • System status monitoring

Construction Site Optimisation

The scaffolding alarm system addresses key challenges of temporary site security. Operating entirely wirelessly without mains power requirements, the equipment can be rapidly redeployed as scaffolding configurations change. The IP67-rated enclosure ensures continued operation in harsh construction environments across temperatures from -40°C to +60°C. A wireless keypad enables straightforward management of site access, particularly valuable during shift changes and for multiple contractor access.

Technical Specifications

The communication system operates on secure 2.4GHz radio frequencies. Internal storage capacity accommodates 2,000 high-resolution images. Battery life extends to 400 days under standard conditions, with extended options available through solar power integration. Remote configuration capabilities enable monitoring station staff to adjust image quality, sensitivity parameters, and response protocols as site conditions change.

Our site survey will determine the optimal system configuration based on the scaffolding layout and environmental factors. Technical specifications and monitoring protocols are then adjusted to match your specific site security requirements.

Integrated Detection and Deterrence

The scaffolding alarm system combines detection technology with active deterrence capabilities:

Detection Components

  • Passive infrared (PIR) sensors with digital signal analysis track thermal signatures

  • Dual camera system captures evidence: 1920x1080 pixel colour for daylight, 1280x960 pixel monochrome with infrared illumination for darkness

  • AI-driven analysis reduces false alarms through machine learning algorithms

The Detector

An autonomous motion-triggered high dynamic range camera system.

Active Deterrence

  • 108dB siren activates upon verified intrusion

  • Visual deterrent through red warning beacon

  • Automated response triggers within seconds of detection

  • Remote activation capability through monitoring station

The Siren

A persuasive autonomous audio-visual intrusion deterrent.

Mesh Network Architecture

The scaffold alarm operates as a secure mesh network, enabling comprehensive site coverage through interconnected devices. Each detector functions as both a sensor and a network relay point:

  • Individual detection zones of 35 metres

  • Mesh network communication up to 500 metres line-of-sight between devices

  • Up to 8 detectors per bridge unit

  • Network automatically routes around obstructions

  • 100 metre range through typical site obstacles

  • Flexible configuration adapts to site layout

Site Access Management

The system includes a wireless keypad designed specifically for construction environments:

  • Simple arming and disarming for authorised personnel

  • Multiple user codes for different access levels

  • Visual and audio confirmation of system status

  • Quick installation and repositioning as work progresses

  • Rugged, weatherproof design (IP65-rated)

  • 400-day battery life

  • Remote management of access codes through monitoring station

We’ve Got Your Site Covered

Our scaffolding alarm system offers comprehensive security specifically designed for construction environments. The wireless system combines motion-activated cameras, 108dB sirens, and visual warning beacons with professional 24/7 security monitoring. Each detector provides up to 35 metres of coverage, while the mesh network architecture enables devices to communicate up to 500 metres line-of-sight, ensuring complete site protection. The system operates autonomously for up to 400 days on battery power and includes a weatherproof wireless keypad for straightforward access control - essential for managing multiple contractors and shift changes. All equipment is built for construction environments with IP67-rated waterproof housing, operating reliably from -40°C to +60°C. When intrusion is detected, the monitoring station receives immediate high-definition images for verification, enabling rapid response and providing crucial evidence for insurance claims. The entire system can be quickly redeployed as scaffold configurations change, addressing the dynamic nature of construction sites while delivering consistent, reliable security protection.
