CCTV for Construction Sites in Kenya

Temporary, solar-powered and rugged CCTV for Kenyan construction sites — site entrances, material yards, plant, machinery and perimeter, running for the full project duration and redeployed to the next site.

Who installs CCTV on construction sites in Kenya?

Qyvea Limited installs construction site CCTV for developers, contractors and project managers across Kenya. A construction site has three problems that regular CCTV does not solve: there is no mains power yet, the site layout keeps changing, and materials walk off at night. A Qyvea site CCTV installation is built around those three problems — solar or generator power, movable cameras and mounts, and motion alerts that go straight to the site manager's phone.

Coverage

What construction site CCTV covers

Site entrance & exit

Vehicle and pedestrian gates with number-plate capture for trucks, deliveries and equipment leaving site.

Material storage yards

Steel, timber, cement, tiles, piping — the items most targeted for theft. Cameras cover the whole yard.

Equipment & plant compounds

Secured compounds for excavators, generators, mixers, tools and other high-value plant.

Structure under construction

Overview cameras on the structure, keeping an eye on progress as well as security.

Perimeter & vulnerable sides

Particularly the boundary that faces the public road or neighbouring plots.

Offices & site cabins

Site office, stores, and cabins where documentation and small tools are kept.

Power & connectivity

Built for sites without power or internet

Solar-powered pole systems — cameras and recorder run off a solar panel and battery. Suitable for sites with no mains connection.
Generator-backed — where a site generator exists, cameras and recorder run off the generator with UPS for the gaps.
4G remote viewing — where there is mobile coverage, a 4G router allows live view and alerts to the project manager. Where there is no coverage, the system still records locally.
Rugged cameras — IP-rated, weatherproof, and mounted on portable poles or tripods so they can be moved as the site changes.
Reduced on-site walking — the project manager checks site from the office or phone instead of driving to site at night.

Alerts

Motion alerts and after-hours monitoring

Most construction site theft happens at night. Cameras with motion detection can send an alert to the site manager, the site security guard or the contractor's phone when something moves in a defined zone:

Material yard after hours — any movement in the yard between, say, 19:00 and 06:00
Perimeter breaches — activity on the boundary wall or gate area
Plant compound — movement around high-value machinery
Site office door — opening outside working hours

Alerts can go to phone apps, SMS or email. The system records continuously, so an alert always has footage attached.

Process

How a construction site CCTV project runs

Free site survey

We walk the site and identify vulnerable areas, power sources and camera positions.

Design & quote

Camera count, solar/generator power plan, mounting method and connectivity are itemised.

Installation

Cameras installed on poles, containers or the structure. Portable where the site will shift.

Handover & redeploy

Project manager trained on the app. When the project ends, the system moves to the next site.

FAQ

Common questions from contractors

Can CCTV be installed on a construction site without mains power?

Yes. Construction site CCTV can run on solar-powered or battery-backed pole-mounted systems where no mains power exists yet. This is common on new-build sites before the electricity connection is live.

How long can temporary construction CCTV run for?

The system is designed to run for the full duration of the project. Cameras and recorders are moved and reinstalled as the site layout changes. When the project ends, the equipment can be redeployed to the next site.

Can construction site CCTV work without internet?

Yes. Recording happens locally regardless of internet. Where 4G coverage exists, live remote viewing can be added so the project manager can check the site from anywhere.

What should be covered by construction site CCTV?

Site entrance and exit, material storage yards, equipment compounds, plant and machinery, the main structure under construction, and the site perimeter — especially any side exposed to the public or to neighbouring plots.

Can CCTV deter theft of construction materials?

Yes. Visible cameras plus motion alerts to the site manager act as a strong deterrent. Where a site has a guard, the system also gives the guard a second set of eyes on areas they cannot continuously watch.
