TowerCam in New York City
Denver, Colorado based, United Surveillance adapts their TowerCam video surveillance and alarm tower device to construction site security needs. The TowerCam was designed in 2002 and in 2005 the larger 21-foot tall “Goliath” tower was installed on the rooftop of a New York skyscraper for testing by support agencies for the DOJ and DOD. After testing, the TowerCam took up residence in Public Square located in the heart of Wilkes Barre, PA. With the recent economic downturn, jobsite theft is at an all time high. Copper wire and pipes, tools, construction materials and diesel fuel are on top of the list of stolen items from jobsites in 2008. With the increase in crime, construction companies and jobsite superintendents have been searching for an affordable 24-hour jobsite monitoring system. TowerCam ’s adaptability and ease of operation fit the bill. Brian Corn, TowerCam founder and CEO says, “The TowerCam provides constant monitoring for jobsites as well as portability should the jobsite location be changed in the future,” when asked about the recent product adaptation. “An average overnight contract security guard can cost between $6000 to $8000 per month,” Corn added. TowerCam costs less than a private security company and is on-guard 24 hours a day, eliminating employee theft as well. “The TowerCam’s automated response system can not only notify authorities before a crime is committed but can also deter the criminals before they take action.” The TowerCam may also make an appearance at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver.
