Skyrocketing prices for metals, especially
copper, have made what was once a minor nuisance into a major problem costing
over $1 billion/year according to the US Dept of Energy. Pipes, wires, cables,
gutters, flashing are being torn from walls and buildings. Roof-top air units
are being stripped of their copper coils. Thieves target copper in vacant
buildings or difficult to secure areas, often without power or communication
lines including.
- Construction Sites
- Vacant Buildings
- Communications Towers
- Electrical Sub-stations
- Foreclosed Properties
In addition, the collateral damage done ripping pipes and wires out of walls
far exceeds the actual cost of the copper stolen.

system that needs no AC power or internet, or
phone lines. Outdoor cameras secure electrical
infrastructure, roof-top air conditioners,
cables, and building materials. Indoor cameras
secure copper plumbing and wiring. The copper
theft kit is a video security system designed to
apprehend the perpetrators, not just see them in
yesterday's video recordings on a DVR.
