CCTV Monitoring
Every Building Site CCTV system can be self-monitored from your phone. For sites that need more, optional professional monitoring connects supported intrusion detection events to a Melbourne-based monitoring control room.

Self-Monitored

- ✓You decide what action to take
Professionally Monitored
- ✓Supported intrusion detection events are sent to a Melbourne-based monitoring control room
- ✓The control room actions the event through its monitoring process
- ✓This can include notifying you, an optional security patrol response, and police response where appropriate and available
How It Works
- The system is installed on site, solar powered and 4G/5G connected.
- Intrusion detection is set up for the areas that matter, such as gates, compounds and laydown areas.
- When a supported intrusion detection event occurs, it is sent to the monitoring control room.
- The control room actions the event. This can include notifying your nominated contacts, sending a security patrol if you have chosen that option, and contacting police where appropriate and available.
What Monitoring Covers
Monitoring relates to supported intrusion detection events. It is not a person watching each camera around the clock, and not every camera event goes to the control room. Patrol response is optional. Police response depends on the circumstances and availability.
Pricing
Professional monitoring is $15 per camera per week, including GST, added to your system hire. See system rates on Solar CCTV Hire Melbourne.
Remote Viewing, Recording & Playback
Every system records on site and can be viewed live from your phone or tablet. You can play back footage, download clips and share them with your team, insurer or police.
Suited To
- Residential and commercial builds
- Civil and infrastructure projects

- Compounds with plant, materials and tools left on site
- Remote sites with no power or fixed internet
Why Monitoring Helps on Unattended Sites
Sites are most exposed when nobody is there. With monitoring, a supported intrusion event is actioned even when you can’t check your phone. The cameras, warning signage, and strobe and siren where fitted are a visible deterrent too.
