CAM 01 – Job Site Perimeter
A construction site is at its most exposed exactly when it has no infrastructure — no power, no network, no perimeter, and a rotating cast of trades and deliveries. Copper, fuel, tools and equipment leave in the window between mobilization and the building being closed in.
Oakville combines automotive assembly and its supplier base with a substantial corporate head-office tenancy in Winston Park. Those are two different security postures in one municipality — a plant with shift changes, contractor access and tool control on one side, and head-office buildings where the concern is visitor management and after-hours access on the other. Sites serving the assembly plant also tend to inherit their customer's audit requirements.
Automotive supply chain sites frequently carry customer-imposed security and audit requirements. Confirm what the OEM contract already specifies before designing.
Continuous high-bitrate streaming over LTE is expensive and unreliable at the edge of coverage. The workable pattern is recording locally at full quality, streaming only on alarm or on demand, and keeping live view at a reduced rate. Size the data plan from that, not from continuous streaming.
The same cameras that cover theft produce a dated visual record of the build. That record settles disputes about what was in the ground before the slab went down, when a trade actually arrived, and what condition the site was left in. It is regularly worth more than the deterrent value it was bought for.
Site geometry changes constantly. Fixed infrastructure installed at mobilization ends up watching the wrong ground by the time the structure is up. Relocatable units on a plan that anticipates each phase outperform a permanent install specified once against a drawing.

Solar output drops sharply in December and January at this latitude, so units serving Ontario sites need battery capacity sized for short days and overcast weeks, often with a hybrid supply. A system specified on summer figures will fail in the first long cold snap.
That depends on what you have arranged — recorded only, a notification to your superintendent, or monitored with live talk-down. Talk-down while an intruder is still in the yard is the intervention that actually turns people around.
