Top 5 Security Red Flags to Look Out for on a Job Site

Construction sites are goldmines for thieves. With high-value tools, heavy equipment, and constant foot traffic, they’re often targeted for vandalism and theft —especially after hours. But what if you could stop security risks before they become losses?

1. Unusual Activity After Hours

No one should be wandering around a job site at 2 a.m. Whether it’s a person, a flashlight, or vehicle movement, unauthorized after-hours activity is one of the biggest red flags.

Solution: TXP Protect’s mobile surveillance trailers come equipped with motion-activated cameras, infrared night vision, and 24/7 remote monitoring — so when something happens after dark, you’ll know about it immediately.

2. Unlocked or Unsecured Equipment

From unlocked storage containers to unattended machinery, unsecured assets are an open invitation to thieves. And once it’s gone, it's not just a theft issue — it's lost time and project delays.

Solution: Our systems help track access points and monitor areas where expensive equipment is stored. You can place mobile trailers where it matters most to deter theft and log suspicious behavior

3. Damaged Fencing or Barriers

A cut fence or bent gate might seem like minor vandalism, but it could signal someone testing your site’s defenses. Any breach in your physical perimeter should be taken seriously.

Solution: Mobile surveillance trailers can be positioned to watch over entry points, fence lines, and parking zones. With built-in alerts and deterrent features like lights and sirens, we can stop break-ins before they start.

4. Missing or Altered Security Cameras

If a camera has been knocked down, covered, or mysteriously unplugged, that’s a huge red flag. Criminals often attempt to disable security systems before striking.

Solution: TXP Protect uses tamper-resistant cameras mounted high on trailers — out of reach and always online. Plus, our remote team can spot when something’s off and escalate the situation fast.

5. Suspicious Vehicles or People Around the Perimeter

Unmarked vans idling nearby? Strangers wandering the edge of your site? These could be casing attempts, especially if the same vehicle appears repeatedly.

Solution: Mobile surveillance trailers provide 360° visual coverage of your job site, with zoom and tracking capabilities to identify license plates and behavior patterns. Plus, our system logs footage that’s easy to share with law enforcement.

Protect Your Site Before It’s Too Late

Catching these red flags early can be the difference between a smooth project and a costly security incident. At TXP Protect, our mobile surveillance trailers are designed to give you total visibility and control, without needing to be on-site 24/7.
