CUSTOMER CASE #15.0102 – Residential Construction Solar Powered Security Camera

The Worksite Hawk, an innovative worksite monitoring and security product poised to put owners and managers at the forefront of a revolution in management efficiency.

The team at Crossroads Mfg. utilized decades of expertise in an array of relevant fields to design and produce the Worksite Hawk. With the needs of the dynamic owner and manager in mind, COO Keith Niehaus and his team have developed a monitoring and security product that keeps its operator informed and in charge around the clock.

The Worksite Hawk offers more than a boost to worksite productivity and improved security; it grants the user peace of mind. It features a state-of-the-art PTZ (pan, tilt, and zoom) camera, housed in a Dotworkz enclosure (Ring of Fire D2-RF-MVP Housing – Outdoor Camera Protection System), that offers a 360 degree viewing of the work area, ensuring that the operator can effectively monitor sites from afar to keep track of concerns such as worker productivity, project progress, and material arrival. Free, user-friendly software enables 24-hour viewing of sites from desktops, laptops, smart phones and tablets, while also recording and storing an incredible 200 days of video footage. An adjustable telescoping mast offers a superior vantage point for monitoring any activity or site, while a GPS device keeps the operator informed of the unit’s precise location.

The Worksite Hawk is a big step forward for worksite monitoring equipment, directly answering issues and shortcomings of existing products with cutting-edge technology integration. Its compact size leaves a worksite footprint that’s unprecedentedly small, while also allowing for easy storage and economical shipping. Internal wiring protects the unit from tampering, vandalism, and weather. Video consists of real-time footage instead of still shots, while a solar-powered, no-maintenance AGM battery bank provides constant functionality year round.

The unit’s software notifies the operator when security breaches or events have occurred, instantly sending alerts via text or email. A bright strobe light activates, illuminating the area, and the events are marked by the software, so operators can instantly review the recordings instead of manually sorting through hours of footage. Sophisticated technology automatically detects people and vehicles, highlighting them helpfully frame by frame so their movements can be easily tracked. The software also recognizes and ignores small animals, debris, and other innocuous objects to avoid false alarms, ensuring that when an event notification comes through, it can be treated seriously.

An invaluable tool for managers and owners, the Worksite Hawk is available for rent or purchase. Contact us for a detailed, no-pressure discussion about what the Worksite Hawk can do for your business!

CUSTOMER CASE #12.0702 – “Perfect Match”

The Dotworkz Color match system blends outdoor camera housings to the installation sites’ color or theme, allowing the security cameras to disappear once mounted. The color match can be created out of a durable vinyl wrap or from a paint dip process. This off-site technique generally takes a week to 10 days to cure and dry.

For this project Questar Gas requested that the D2 housings match the color scheme of their new Questar Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The goal was to take advantage of the modern look of the D2 enclosure while promoting security for the new building. The installation crew was instructed to hide all cables, and to place what would normally be rooftop camera systems to mid-building height. This improved the HD cameras’ overall performance and usefulness, and accentuated the building’s open walls with the color-matched Dotworkz D-Series housings.

The units were ordered from our San Diego facility without the side ingress ports drilled out. This allowed all cables to be run from the mounting wall, and enabled Pansonic WV-SC385 PTZ cameras to supply high quality HD video. The architects and security director were elated with the easily hidden cables, and the elegance of the final mounted appearance.
