About Clemens Construction Company
Clemens Construction Company (C3) is a construction firm that previously relied on hired security guards to protect its job sites from theft and vandalism, including a $43 million multi-unit residential project in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The challenge
Job sites are frequent targets for theft and vandalism, and C3 needed a way to secure them that was both effective and economical. Historically, the company hired security guards for the job, but the results were inconsistent and unreliable.
Guards sometimes fell asleep on shift, failed to show up at all, and in some cases stole from the job site themselves, the exact losses they had been hired to prevent, all while costing C3 more than a more reliable alternative would.
The solution
C3 found a better alternative to hiring guards by partnering with Kastle. The company deployed Kastle’s Mobile Sentry remote video guarding solution at its $43 million multi-unit residential project in Philadelphia, PA. Kastle’s analytics-based smart security cameras automatically detect the presence of intruders and instantly transmit video from the job site to Kastle’s 24x7 operations center.
Kastle’s video monitoring operators then verify the presence of unauthorized persons or vehicles and execute the protocols agreed upon with C3, which include dispatching police to the site and providing real-time intelligence to first responders.
The outcome
Within weeks of installation, Mobile Sentry detected an intruder at the job site. Kastle’s operations center verified the activity, notified police, and an arrest was made.
In addition to the improved security at its job site, C3 recognized a 51% monthly cost savings from deploying Kastle’s video guarding solution compared to hiring a human guard.
