Cameras on Cranes Remotely Monitor the Job Site W/ Aerial View

While it is important to note that the video above is not from a HoistCam, it gives one example of how live surveillance from cameras on cranes can not only bring added safety to the job site, but can offer added security as well. You can use HoistCam’s cameras on cranes to remotely monitor the job site with an aerial view of everything that goes on. This particular video led to the arrest of five men who were climbing the tower crane at a construction site at Liberty Apartments in Durham, NC. This incident occurred on June 14, 2015 at around 3am. All five men were charged with first degree trespassing. Had there been no cameras on cranes on this job site, and had no one been monitoring the cameras at night after the site was closed, these men would likely never have been caught.

Of course, the views from HoistCam cameras on cranes in the daylight are much clearer and detailed than that in the video above. This footage was, of course, shot at night. During daylight hours, when construction sites are open, the construction foreman, operators, and subcontractors can all closely monitor all activity on the entire job site with an aerial view from these cameras on cranes. The HoistCam can be installed at the top of any type of crane, or anywhere on the job site, giving anyone who is watching the monitor a bird’s eye view of the entire job site. The images are colored and in high definition for a detailed view. The viewer can even remotely zoom in on a certain location, or change the direction of the camera, all remotely from where he or he sits.

HoistCam’s cameras on cranes are easy to install with a series of magnets and safety lanyard, making it easy to set up cameras anywhere on the site. The camera’s footage can be fed to any monitor, or multiple monitors for the crane operator, job foreman, subcontractors, or anyone who needs to see the job site. This allows the entire job site to be monitored with an aerial view by anyone who has a monitor. The viewer can watch out for any safety concerns or security issues that might occur on the location.

The monitor inside the cab of the crane allows the crane operator to have a clear view of every lift, from beginning to end. Gone forever are blind lifts in which the operator is required to rely solely on hand signals and radio communication to know when it is safe to move the crane’s boom, lift or lower the load, and more. For added safety, security, and the ability to remotely monitor the job site with an aerial view, trust HoistCam’s cameras on cranes.
