Construction Site Security Solutions in Sacramento & Northern California
Since 1994, we at AAT – Advanced Alarm Technology have been safeguarding construction sites, commercial projects, and critical infrastructure throughout Sacramento and Northern California. As a family-owned business, we take pride in providing reliable, advanced, and customizable security solutions that give our clients complete confidence in the safety of their valuable assets. We know the challenges that Sacramento contractors face — from copper theft to vandalism and jobsite disruptions — and we’ve built our company around stopping those threats before they interrupt your timeline or bottom line.
The Sacramento region continues to thrive with growth across industries, including infrastructure, commercial real estate, and residential housing. With that growth comes an unfortunate side effect: opportunistic thieves and vandals who target equipment, tools, copper wiring, and other valuable jobsite resources. At AAT, our mission is to stop them in their tracks with proven security technologies and a streamlined, client-focused process that is as simple and hassle-free as possible. Whether your project is in Midtown, West Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, or Folsom, our two-phase security program ensures that you can protect your site from day one all the way through final project close-out.
Why Construction Site Security Matters in the Sacramento Valley Region
Sacramento is no stranger to jobsite crime. From the urban redevelopment efforts along the R Street corridor to new commercial growth in Natomas and Elk Grove, construction activity attracts criminals looking for high-value targets. Even a single night of unsecured equipment can result in tens of thousands of dollars in losses, not to mention the stress and downtime associated with replacing stolen materials. This ripple effect delays projects, frustrates clients, and hits your reputation.
We have seen contractors struggle with everything from copper wire theft to HVAC units stolen right off rooftops. Fencing that is easy to climb, cameras that do not proactively detect threats, and traditional security guards that cannot be everywhere at once leave far too many opportunities for losses. That is why our approach combines visible deterrence, artificial intelligence, and layered perimeter protection. We make it nearly impossible for thieves to gain access — and even harder for them to get away unnoticed.
Our Proven Two-Phase Security Approach
Since every Sacramento jobsite progresses through stages — starting with a vacant lot and eventually becoming a powered, active build — our security strategy adapts alongside your project. We have developed a proven two-phase system that gives you airtight security from the first stake in the ground until final occupancy.
Phase 1:
Wireless Pre-Power Security
In the earliest stages of your project, there is no power and no internet.

That is exactly when thieves know to strike, because traditional cameras and alarms cannot operate. We close that vulnerability gap with ReconEyez wireless detectors. These sophisticated sensors provide 35 meters of motion detection and operate for a full year on a battery, making them perfect for a freshly cleared dirt lot or a site awaiting trenching for power infrastructure. Their wireless, cellular-based communication links to our Sacramento monitoring center so we can dispatch authorities the moment an unauthorized movement is detected.
ReconEyez devices can be quickly deployed and repositioned as your site changes. This gives you an incredibly flexible and affordable way to protect valuable assets from the very first day of your build, without needing any existing power supply or connectivity. Sacramento contractors trust this Phase 1 system because it is rugged, tamper-resistant, and able to function through California’s hot summers and wet winters without interruption.
Phase 2:
Powered Jobsite Protection
Once power is available, you graduate to our Phase 2 protection package,

which combines the formidable Amarok portable electric fencing system with advanced Tiandy AI Guard PTZ cameras. This powerful duo provides a 360-degree perimeter defense for even the most complex Sacramento jobsite layouts.
The Amarok fence stands eight feet tall and delivers a 7,000-volt shock that is specifically engineered to be non-lethal while maintaining a 99% theft deterrence rate. The fence is solar and battery powered, so you remain protected even if there is a power outage. We understand California’s tough litigation climate, which is why the Amarok fencing is fully OSHA- and IEC-compliant. It comes equipped with large, highly visible warning signs in both English and Spanish, giving clear notice to trespassers and ensuring compliance with California regulations. In addition, every installation is backed by our $11 million liability insurance policy, addressing any legal worries you may have about deploying a powerful deterrent.
Alongside this fence, we install Tiandy AI Guard PTZ cameras. These 8-megapixel units have a detection range of up to 900 feet and can track and follow suspicious movements using advanced artificial intelligence. These cameras do more than passively record; they actively identify humans, distinguish them from animals or vehicles, and trigger alerts in real-time. Combined with two-way voice talk-down capability, these cameras allow our trained Sacramento monitoring staff to verbally challenge trespassers before they can even get close to valuable assets.
Tailored to Sacramento’s Environment
One of the biggest challenges for Sacramento builders is the variety of terrain — from soft soils along the American River to blacktop staging areas and rocky hillside developments near Folsom. We have designed our security systems to adapt to any environment. Amarok fencing, for example, can be securely installed on dirt, blacktop, gravel, or rocky grades, providing a strong perimeter no matter what the site conditions may be.
Likewise, our Tiandy cameras and ReconEyez detectors are weather-resistant and rated for the full range of Sacramento’s seasonal conditions, from 110-degree summer days to pounding winter storms. Our equipment is built to stand up to these challenges, providing consistent performance that contractors can trust.
A Commitment to Safety and Compliance
Safety is at the heart of our solutions. Sacramento contractors, property developers, and construction managers face significant concerns around liability and regulatory compliance. California has some of the strictest safety codes in the nation, and violating them can lead to costly fines or lawsuits. Our Amarok fence is non-lethal and designed to meet all OSHA and IEC standards, including mandated signage, contact spacing, and warning procedures. We even provide a full compliance consultation during your installation so you know exactly how your site meets the legal requirements. This proactive approach ensures you can use our system confidently, knowing it aligns with California’s complex regulatory framework.
Our $11 million liability policy is another layer of peace of mind. If there is ever an issue, you are protected from costly litigation. That means you can focus on keeping your project on track rather than worrying about unintentional injuries or claims.
A Smarter, Cost-Effective Approach
Running a construction business in Sacramento is tough enough without the burden of unexpected security expenses. That is why we designed our pricing to be clear, predictable, and easy to manage. There are no upfront equipment costs, no surprise fees, and no long-term hidden charges. Our subscription program bundles everything — including installation, maintenance, system updates, and around-the-clock monitoring — into one monthly payment. You know exactly what you will spend, making budgeting easier and keeping your cash flow stable.
This program also allows you to scale security up or down as your project evolves. If you need more cameras, we add them. If your perimeter grows, we extend the fencing. If your timeline shifts, we adjust. Sacramento’s construction environment is dynamic, and your security system should be too.
Built for Any Project, Large or Small
Every Sacramento site is different, whether you are working on a tight residential remodel or a sprawling commercial campus. We take pride in creating customized solutions for projects of any scale. From the moment you call us, we evaluate your site’s needs, existing risks, and your project timeline to design a security solution that fits perfectly.
Our flexible contracts can accommodate short- and long-term builds. With a minimum of six months on active construction sites, you get continuity of protection without worrying about gaps or lapses. We believe every site deserves strong security, no matter its size, shape, or budget.
Local Expertise, Local Support
Unlike large national chains that treat Sacramento as just another branch, we live and work here. We know how Sacramento’s permitting offices operate, what city inspectors look for, and how to integrate security seamlessly into your build plan. Our technicians are local, familiar with the communities we serve, and ready to be on-site whenever you need assistance.
Our 24/7 Sacramento-based monitoring means that when an alert comes through, you are not routed to a call center in another state. Instead, you get immediate action from local professionals who know the area and work closely with local law enforcement. That local presence is critical because response time can mean the difference between a prevented theft and a massive loss.
Sacramento’s Construction Boom
The Sacramento metro area has grown steadily, fueled by a combination of business investment, public infrastructure improvements, and a strong residential housing market. This has driven record levels of new construction, from major commercial centers to highway and rail expansions. With so many active projects, criminal activity has surged to match. Portable generators, copper spools, tools, lumber, and even fully loaded equipment trailers are frequent targets. These are not petty crimes — organized crews know exactly how to exploit weak security.
That is why investing in robust, professionally monitored security is no longer optional. It is a business necessity. Our two-phase program, with its combination of AI tracking, wireless detection, and electrified fencing, sets a new standard for Sacramento jobsite protection.
Technology That Works Together
We have selected each piece of our security system to work seamlessly together. ReconEyez detectors catch intruders before they even know power is available. Amarok fencing creates a physical and psychological barrier, stopping criminals from even trying to enter. And Tiandy’s AI cameras actively track, identify, and challenge potential threats. This unified system is far more powerful than any single security element on its own.
Imagine a thief approaching a site on Power Inn Road late at night. They first see the Amarok warning signs and feel the intimidating presence of an eight-foot fence. Then, a Tiandy AI camera locks onto their motion, records them, and triggers a loud voice message to leave the property immediately. If they attempt to cross the perimeter, they face a non-lethal shock from the fence — and authorities are dispatched at the same moment. That is what real jobsite security looks like.
