What Is a Monitoring Schedule Change?

A monitoring schedule change is a request to update the days and hours during which Jobsite Sentry's trained security analysts actively monitor your construction site camera feeds. You can add overnight coverage, weekend and holiday shifts, 24-hour continuous monitoring, or custom windows aligned to specific project phases, high-value deliveries, or known high-risk periods — and changes are applied within 2 business hours of your request.

When Construction Teams Request a Schedule Change

Your risk profile changes as your project evolves. These are the most common reasons Jobsite Sentry customers update their monitoring windows.

TRIGGER · 01 / EQUIPMENT DELIVERY HIGH RISK
🚚

High-Value Equipment Arrival

Excavators, generators, lifts, and copper wire deliveries spike theft risk instantly. Extend monitoring before and after major deliveries to cover the exposure window.

TRIGGER · 02 / AFTER INCIDENT IMMEDIATE
⚠️

After a Theft or Trespass

A confirmed incident means your site is a known target. Extend coverage immediately — repeat offenders often return within 24 to 72 hours of a successful theft.

TRIGGER · 03 / PROJECT PHASE PLANNED
📐

New Project Phase Starting

MEP rough-in, roofing, and finishing phases bring new materials and new crews. Update your monitoring window when the risk profile of your site changes.

TRIGGER · 04 / WEEKEND GAPS RECURRING
📅

Weekend & Holiday Gaps

Saturday night is the single highest-risk window on any construction site. If you're not monitored on weekends, you have a blind spot that criminals know about.

TRIGGER · 05 / CREW CHANGE OPERATIONAL
👷

Shift or Crew Schedule Change

Night shifts, weekend work, or extended pours mean your active site hours have changed. Your monitoring window should follow your crew schedule, not the other way around.

TRIGGER · 06 / HOLIDAY WEEKEND SEASONAL
🏗️

Long Holiday Weekends

Memorial Day, Labor Day, July 4th — construction sites sit empty for 3 or 4 days while your equipment isn't moving. Add temporary coverage before every major holiday weekend.

Monitoring Coverage Options

Every schedule is built to match your actual site risk. These are the standard configurations — or you can build a fully custom window.

☀️ Standard Hours 6AM – 6PM · Mon–Fri

Default business-hours coverage aligned to standard active construction shifts. Best for lower-risk sites or projects in early planning stages.

🌙 After-Hours / Overnight 6PM – 6AM · Any Days

The most-requested upgrade. Overnight hours are when 70%+ of construction site theft occurs. Add this to any existing plan immediately.

📅 Weekend Coverage Sat–Sun · Full Day or Night

Sites are unstaffed on weekends and are a primary target. Saturday nights alone account for a disproportionate share of annual jobsite losses.

🔄 24/7 Continuous 24 Hours · 7 Days

Zero gaps. Round-the-clock analyst monitoring with no blind spots. Recommended for high-value sites, active theft targets, or projects storing significant materials overnight.

📐 Phase-Based Custom Aligned to Project Timeline

Schedule monitoring windows to match your specific project phases, delivery windows, subcontractor schedules, or concrete pour timings. Fully custom.

📍 Zone-Based Coverage Different Hours Per Camera Zone

Run different monitoring schedules for different camera zones on the same site. 24/7 on the equipment yard, business hours on the office area — you decide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a monitoring schedule change?+
A monitoring schedule change is a request to update the days and hours during which Jobsite Sentry's trained security analysts actively monitor your construction site camera feeds. This includes adding overnight coverage, weekend and holiday shifts, 24-hour continuous monitoring, or custom windows aligned to your project phases, deliveries, or known high-risk periods.
How quickly is a schedule change applied?+
Standard schedule changes are confirmed and applied within 2 business hours. Urgent requests are processed within 30 minutes, and emergency changes for active threats or incidents can be expedited immediately. Contact the Jobsite Sentry team directly for emergency situations rather than using the form.
Can I add overnight monitoring?+
Yes. Overnight monitoring is the most common schedule change requested by Jobsite Sentry customers. You can add analyst-monitored coverage from 6pm to 6am, or any custom overnight window. Overnight hours are when the majority of construction site theft and vandalism occurs, making this one of the highest-impact coverage additions you can make.
Can I add weekend or holiday monitoring?+
Yes. You can request coverage for any combination of days including weekends and holidays. Weekends and holidays are statistically the highest-risk periods for construction site theft and trespassing because sites are completely unstaffed. Adding weekend monitoring is one of the most effective loss-prevention steps you can take.
Is there a limit to how many times I can change my schedule?+
No. You can submit as many schedule change requests as your project requires. Construction projects are dynamic and your monitoring coverage should adapt accordingly. There are no limits and no fees for standard schedule changes within your plan.
Can I set different hours for different cameras on the same site?+
Yes. You can request different monitoring windows for different camera zones or individual cameras on the same site. For example, 24-hour monitoring on equipment yard and gate cameras, with business-hours-only monitoring on office or administrative area cameras. Include these specifics in your request form.
Does a schedule change affect camera recording?+
No. Cameras record continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, regardless of your monitoring schedule. Your monitoring schedule determines when trained analysts are actively watching your feeds in real time. You can always submit a video review request to have an analyst review footage from any time period, including periods outside your monitored window.
Can I request temporary one-time coverage for a specific date?+
Yes. You can request a temporary coverage window for a specific date or event such as a large equipment delivery, a concrete pour, a material drop-off, or any high-value activity on your site. Select "Temporary / One-Time Window" in the change type field and specify the date and hours you need covered.
Can I align monitoring to my project schedule or phases?+
Yes. Phase-based monitoring schedules are fully supported. If your project has distinct phases such as foundation, framing, MEP rough-in, or finishing work, you can request coverage windows that align to each phase, specific subcontractor schedules, or delivery windows. This is one of the most effective ways to maximize your security coverage value.
How do I know what my current monitoring schedule is?+
Your current monitoring schedule is visible in the Jobsite Sentry app and customer portal under your site settings. You can also contact the Jobsite Sentry team directly to confirm your current coverage windows before submitting a change request. Every change is also documented in the written confirmation email we send you.
Is there a cost to change my monitoring schedule?+
Standard schedule changes within your existing service tier are included at no additional cost. If you are adding significant new coverage hours that exceed what your current plan includes, a plan upgrade or add-on may apply. Contact the Jobsite Sentry team for details specific to your account and current plan.
Will I receive confirmation when my schedule is updated?+
Yes. You will receive a written email confirmation every time your monitoring schedule is updated. The confirmation includes the effective date, the new monitoring hours, the days covered, the cameras or zones affected, and the name of the team member who processed the change. Keep these confirmations for your project records.
What if I need an emergency schedule change right now?+
For active threats, ongoing incidents, or situations where coverage is needed within the next 30 minutes, select "Emergency" in the Priority field of the request form. You may also contact Jobsite Sentry directly by phone for the fastest response. Emergency schedule activations can be processed in as little as 30 minutes.
