Seriously, how do you deal with folks sneaking onto job sites?

I had a guy just stroll into my active build zone yesterday evening. He was totally unaware of the dangers like open trenches and equipment, lol. What do you all do to prevent this kind of thing?

On our last project, we put up those portable security cameras that send alerts to your phone. I mean, it's not foolproof but it gives you a heads-up if someone's poking around.

Had a wanderer who left a full picnic spread once.

Geez, that's scary with all the open trenches and machines around. Like @robertc44 said, cameras can ping your phone, but they don't physically block people. We learned that the hard way when a kid got past them onto a site. Now we use those orange fences and big signs right away, even for short jobs. It's not perfect, but it cuts down on the wanderers.
