The “Break-In” That Wasn’t: When Cameras Prove Everyone Wrong

Tony Matesi

Site Security Expert

GC calls us in a panic:
“Somebody broke into our electrical box. Can you check the footage?”

We rolled it back, expecting crowbars or bolt cutters.
What we saw instead?

See for yourself.

The box basically blew itself apart. Sparks, smoke, ka-boom.

No thieves. No vandals. No shady subs.
Just equipment failure caught in high def.

🔥 Everyone Was Wrong

Without cameras, this would’ve spiraled:

  • Sub blames the GC for leaving it unlocked
  • GC blames the sub for shoddy work
  • Insurance gets dragged into a “theft” claim that never happened

Meanwhile, the schedule stalls and crews get grilled for something they didn’t touch.

🎥 No Blame, Just Proof

The footage told the real story:

  • Exact time the box failed
  • What crews were (and weren’t) around
  • Zero evidence of forced entry

Instead of a messy dispute, the GC had timestamped proof.

Insurance got clarity.
The project kept moving.

🧠 Cameras Catch the Truth

They don’t just record crimes.
They record reality.

That means:

  • Crews don’t take heat for things they didn’t do
  • Subs can’t pass the buck
  • Insurance moves faster with real evidence
  • GCs keep projects on track instead of stuck in rumor and finger-pointing

⚡ The Box Told on Itself

The GC thought they had a break-in.
What they really had was a blown box.
And the cameras proved it before the story spun out of control.

When the Story Needs Proof

Every jobsite tells a story: deliveries, mistakes, thefts, freak accidents.
The only question is, do you have the footage to back it up?

That’s what we’re here for, we make sure you do.
