ECAM Urges Live-Monitored Jobsite Security Before Holiday Shutdowns
Dallas – October 29, 2026 -- A Phoenix construction firm running up to 18 active jobsites cut security costs by more than $3,000 per site each month after deploying ECAM's mobile surveillance units with 24/7 live monitoring, the video security provider said as it urged contractors to tighten protection before holiday shutdowns.
The firm also reported a significant decrease in theft incidents and coverage that scales with each construction phase, according to ECAM.
Equipment theft losses reach up to $1 billion a year in the US
Estimates from the National Equipment Register and the National Insurance Crime Bureau put annual US losses involving construction and agricultural equipment at $300 million to $1 billion. More than 75% of stolen machines are never recovered. Industry research cited by ECAM indicates as many as 85% of construction site thefts go unreported, so actual exposure may be higher.
