3 steps to a successful IoT Use Case

The Challenge

Construction sites are prime targets for theft and vandalism. Traditional security guards are costly and cannot monitor every corner, especially after hours. Stolen equipment and damaged materials lead to significant financial losses and project delays.

The Solution

VIDEO GUARD by AddSecure provides mobile camera towers with high-resolution, 180-degree coverage and infrared for night monitoring. Integrated machine learning analyzes video footage on-site, filtering out false alarms. Suspicious events are sent to the cloud for advanced analysis. Confirmed incidents trigger video data transmissions to the 24/7 control center, where staff intervene directly—communicating with intruders via loudspeaker and alerting police or security services. Telekom’s robust 4G/5G network ensures secure, high-speed transmission of large video data volumes, with local breakouts for minimal latency.

Customer Benefit

Companies benefit from reduced theft and vandalism, fewer project delays, and lower security costs. The scalable solution adapts to temporary or long-term projects, ensuring privacy compliance and reliable operation—even in remote locations. Telekom’s global IoT network footprint allows for a worldwide use of AddSecure’s smart surveillance solutions.
