One of Australia’s leading contruction companies that specialise in building commercial and industrial construction projects to health and education clients all over Australia have been having security problems with one of their current 21 construction sites in the the Fairview area of Sydney in New South Wales.  Throughout their Fairview construction development their Sydney construction site had been attracting many unwanted intruders during out of working hours who were visiting their construction site to steal copper and other high valued metals on their construction site.

After a chance meeting at the IFSEC Security Exhibition in Birmingham England one of the Directors of the major Australian Construction Group met up with representatives of Camvista Global Ltd to discuss Camvista’s new construction security camera monitoring solutions that could be rapidly deployed onto their troubled construction site in the Sydney area of New South Wales to quickly improve their current construction on-site security to stop unwanted intruders stealing copper and other metals from their construction site.

In May 2010 Camvista teamed up with leading Australian Security company - iPatrol to install 10 outdoor battery powered MeerCam RSI Videofied GPRS wireless PIR surveillance monitoring security cameras at the Australian’s Fairview construction site on the outskirts in Sydney N.S.W – Australia.  Installation of the 10 RSI Videofied MeerCam battery powered GPRS security monitoring cameras took less than 4 hours to install, because no power or cabling was required during the installation and immediately upgraded the level of security monitoring on the Sydney located construction site. 

The MeerCam Videofied RSI rapid deployable construction monitoring surveillance solution also reduced the costs of construction manned guarding by more than 150% and traditional construction CCTV security cameras by more than 65% for the Australian construction company that were not proving a successful construction security solution on this Fairview construction site.  iPatrol who specialise in operating the RSI Videofied security monitoring camera systems around Australia for business and home security clients also have a wealth of experience in remote monitoring the battery powered construction security cameras at their A1 Graded Alarm Monitoring Station.

Within weeks of the 10 MeerCam RSI Videofied construction security cameras being deployed onto the NSW Fairview construction site iPatrol’s Alarm Monitoring Station received four 10 second intruder video alerts from the MeerCam battery powered GPRS construction surveillance cameras that three intruders on Sunday night at 8.30pm was on the Fairview construction site.  iPatrol immediately contacted the Site Manager of the Fairview construction site to confirm if any person should be on the construction site that Sunday evening.  iPatrol were informed by the Site Manager that no construction workers should be on the construction site and to immediately inform the local police that intruders were currently on their construction site and to try and make some arrests

To read about the success of the MeerCam RSI Videofied battery powered wireless GPRS construction monitoring security cameras for this intruder alert on this Fairview construction site – please read the below report written by the Fairview Site Manager for the Directors of the Construction Group about the incident on his construction site on Sunday 19th September 2010:

 ” At approx 8.30 last night, the iPatrol central monitoring rang to say the alarm had been triggered, and there was footage of people on site. I told them to call the police, and that I would be there in approx 20 minutes. I arrived on site at approx 8.55 to find 2 police cars already here, and 3 people in custody. Police found them on site, and they surrendered. 2 officers and myself went for a walk on site and found 4 ring spanners and a hack saw. They were obviously after copper. One of the officers and myself them went for a drive around the area, and we found their “mate” waiting for them up the road. The other half of the ring spanner set was found in the front seat of the car. He too was detained

The first three guys are well known to police, and were taken away to be charged. I believe the driver was let go with a caution.

Finally……..one for the good guys!

Since the success of this intruder incident on the 19th September 2010 another group of unwanted intruders were caught on the Fairview construction site last week by iPatrol monitoring the MeerCam RSI Videofied GPRS wireless surveillance camera systems.  Stopping another theft on the Fairview construction site.

Outcome – One of the leading Australian construction Group’s are now ordering more of Camvista’s MeerCam RSI Videofied battery powered security monitoring camera systems to protect some of their other 20 construction sites in other areas of Australia. 

Feedback from Sydney police after the success of the arrests of the intruders on the construction site – both groups of intruders caught and arrested on-site are wondering what sort of `space-age` security technology is being deployed on the Fairview construction site in Australia!!!!

A city of more than 4 million people, it sits on the coast of the southeast corner of Australia and is the nation’s largest city. If you are thinking of going to Sydney, or have been there and would like to relive it, take a look at this Sydney webcam and you will get a feel for what the city is all about.

Whether you are viewing the Sydney webcam in the day or night, you will be able to see some of the sights for which this city is famous. The Sydney Opera House is one of the most unique buildings in the world and its silhouette distinguishes this city, day or night. In addition, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, can be seen as the streaming video camera pans to the right.

As you view the Sydney webcam at night, you get to see the lights of the cars as they cross the bridge, and the people as they walk among the many sites. It seems as if Sydney never sleeps, as witnessed by the constant activity on the webcam. During the day, there is a multitude of boats in the harbor and the traffic on the bridge seems never ending.

No one was reported hurt as a result of red dust storms sweeping a vast swath of eastern Australia, but officials closed ferry services on Sydney Harbour because visibility was cut to dangerous levels, and police in two states warned motorists to take extra care on the roads.  Even the Sydney Opera House, has been obscured by the red dust storm causing havoc to the the city of Sydney and surrounding areas.

Such thick red dust is a rarity over Australia‘s largest city, Sydney, and came along with whip lashing winds and other uncommon weather conditions across the country in recent days.
