Section 01
Camera coverage and placement
Whether your cameras are positioned to cover the areas that matter on an active job site.
0 / 0
Every site entrance and exit is covered by a working camera high risk
Equipment storage areas, material yards, and tool lockups are within camera view
Your job trailer, office area, and high-value staging zones are covered
Copper, wiring, and MEP materials stored on site are within visible camera range high risk
Coverage adjusts as the project moves into new phases — cameras are not still pointed at finished areas
Every camera is a real, functional unit — not a dummy or decorative fixture liability
Resolution is clear enough to identify faces and vehicle license plates
You would be notified automatically if a camera goes offline or is tampered with
Section 02
Recording and footage access
Whether footage exists when you need it — and whether you can actually get to it.
0 / 0
You know where footage is stored and who has access to it
You can retrieve footage from any site camera without calling the original installer high risk
Footage is retained long enough to support an insurance claim or legal investigation
Footage is stored in the cloud or backed up off-site — not only on a local DVR that could be stolen or fail high risk
You have successfully pulled and reviewed footage in the last 30 days
If the internet goes down on site, footage still records and syncs automatically when connection returns
You can share footage securely with your insurance adjuster or legal team in under five minutes liability
You have a process for preserving footage from a reported incident before it is overwritten liability
Section 03
After-hours monitoring
What happens to your site between 5 p.m. and 7 a.m. — when most theft occurs.
0 / 0
You receive an immediate alert on your phone when someone enters the site after hours high risk
Alerts are tied to meaningful activity — not constant motion notifications that get ignored
Your system continues recording without interruption overnight, including if someone cuts external power
Cameras cover the perimeter well enough to detect a breach before anyone reaches the equipment
You can view a live feed of your site from your phone or laptop at any hour without being on site
You know exactly how quickly your team could respond to an after-hours alert right now, on a Friday night
Section 04
Equipment and asset protection
Whether your security holds up when a theft or incident actually happens on site.
0 / 0
If a piece of equipment was stolen last night, you could identify what happened and when within 30 minutes high risk
You have usable footage to give law enforcement that could actually result in a recovery high risk
Your builder's risk insurer would confirm you have adequate documentation to support a claim today liability
Your company has not filed a major equipment claim in the last 12 months that resulted in a premium increase liability
You have video documentation of your crew's work that could protect you from a disputed workers' comp or liability claim liability
You have a working camera system active from day one — not weeks into the project after the first incident high risk
Section 05
Vendor and system health
Whether your system is actively supported and someone picks up the phone when it breaks.
0 / 0
Your security integrator is still in business and actively supporting your system high risk
You have a direct contact who responds within 24 hours when something breaks or goes offline
You own the login credentials to your system — your integrator cannot lock you out if the relationship ends high risk
You are not running different camera systems across different sites with no unified view efficiency
All sites are visible in a single dashboard — live video, alerts, and footage from one login efficiency
You have a documented record of your system's operational status — useful if a claim or dispute is ever filed liability
Section 06
System portability and site transitions
Whether your security investment moves with your project — or gets left behind when the job ends.
0 / 0
Your camera setup does not require permanent power or a hardwired internet connection to operate efficiency
You can have full camera coverage operational on a new site before the first subcontractor arrives
When a project ends, your camera hardware can be relocated to the next site in a day — not a multi-week project efficiency
All hardware is reusable and transferable — you are not purchasing new equipment for every project
Your system works during early-phase builds before permanent infrastructure is in place — on a dirt lot, before power or conduit exists
If a project runs longer than scheduled, you can extend coverage without buying new hardware or signing a new contract
Your security budget follows the project, not the address — you are not paying for a system you left behind on a finished site
What your score means
All boxes checked
Your site has real protection. Run this audit every time you start a new project or bring on a new subcontractor to keep it that way.
A few gaps
Manageable with the right support. Start with camera functionality and after-hours monitoring — those carry the most immediate exposure on an active site.
Several gaps
Your site has real exposure right now. A camera that is not recording is the same as having no camera at all — and organized theft crews already know how to tell the difference.
Many gaps
This is what we find on most sites the first time we walk them. The risk is not just the stolen equipment. It is the five-day delay, the 20–40% insurance premium increase, and the claim you cannot defend.
