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.
