Working for a globally renowned organisation, Code 3 Security utilised Reconeyez security solutions to protect a prestigious 100,000-square-foot facility currently undergoing extensive refurbishment, set within 14 acres of historically listed gardens.
A family-owned security firm based in Slough, UK, Code 3 Security provides flexible, professional security services for construction sites, with expertise in remote locations, commercial and residential projects, and vacant properties.
Challenge:
The corporate client directly engaged Code 3 Security, requiring close collaboration with onsite contractors throughout the refurbishment of their headquarters. Due to the project’s scale, the site required robust security against trespassing and theft throughout all construction phases.
The primary security concern was the presence of high-value materials, including copper and premium building materials, as well as equipment. Alongside this, the site was developing rapidly, and the security solution needed to shift with the phases of the project.
Solution deployed:
Code 3 developed a comprehensive solution using Reconeyez technology, featuring 40 HD cameras, to provide robust coverage across the site. The system was straightforward to install, significantly enhanced by Code 3’s 12 bespoke mini towers, custom-designed to seamlessly integrate with the Reconeyez technology.
The ease of installation, coupled with the versatility of the Reconeyez platform, allowed Code 3 to seamlessly manage and adapt security measures as the project progressed. Monthly maintenance visits further ensured optimal system performance at no additional cost to the client.
“We’ve developed bespoke towers specifically for Reconeyez technology, designed to be robust – clients don’t have to worry about them being toppled by accident, e.g. by a storm or intentionally by intruders. At the same time, they’re also movable and can be discreet. The towers are manufactured locally, close to our office, and we’ve invested significantly to ensure they integrate perfectly with Reconeyez hardware,” comments Ella Maguire, Operations Director, Code 3.
Cutting-edge security that clients trust and demand:
The Reconeyez technology proved invaluable, offering high-definition imagery and advanced AI detection that significantly improved threat identification in the event of intrusion and reduced false alarms.
“Reconeyez’ cameras capture number plates, facial features, and clothing brands clearly, even at night. I have yet to see anything comparable,” Ella shares.
“This is particularly crucial for clearly identifying internal theft – a problem construction sites sadly face frequently. With other solutions, there have previously been questions about who the image was showing because it was lower quality. Now, due to the HD images Reconeyez offers, site managers know exactly what’s happening and feel confident to take action.”
Reconeyez devices offer ultra-efficient, long-lasting security for construction sites, running up to 400 days on internal batteries — or indefinitely with solar power, eliminating site visits for battery changes. AI-powered false alarm filtering and adaptive settings reduce power use, ensuring reliable, low-maintenance, continual protection. The user-friendly cloud platform enables Code 3 Security to proactively manage the system, enhancing operational efficiency by predicting battery life and optimising the planning of site visits.
“The Cloud Platform gives us insights we’ve never had before. I can prevent issues proactively, keeping costs manageable and giving everyone peace of mind,” Ella says.
“Our ability to deliver a robust and intelligent security infrastructure has not only safeguarded the site and its valuable heritage, but has also reinforced our reputation as a trusted partner to some of the world’s most distinguished organisations.”
Due to this positive experience, Reconeyez is now the standard security solution deployed by Code 3 Security across all new sites. It is actively offered as an upgrade to existing long-term clients.
“Clients immediately want Reconeyez once they see it. The quality of the images is unparalleled. It feels reflective of 2025 technology—advanced, clear, and reliable. Clients won’t settle for anything less,” adds Ella.
Why Code 3 Security recommends Reconeyez to clients:
Experts in total construction site security, including vacant property, Code 3 Security offers remote wireless CCTV monitoring, rapid alarm response and manned guarding.
“The Reconeyez Cloud Platform allows us to monitor sites on the client’s behalf across the UK. The alerts, image quality, and AI-powered detection support us in effectively identifying threats, eliminating false alarms, ruling out authorised access, and keeping clients updated when issues arise. Reconeyez provides us with actionable information, allowing us to act quickly either via our own response unit or by informing the police as needed. Working with Reconeyez means we’re sending over quality reports and images that I’m proud to put Code 3’s name against,” Ella concludes.
“Reconeyez contributes to the confidence clients have in our business. We stay with clients as the site progresses, from acquisition to construction and beyond. We pride ourselves not only on moving from project to project with the developers and contractors we support, but also on often being handed over to the client to provide permanent security post-construction.”
