Why buy a construction site camera?
A construction site camera provides essential content
These days, in order to be competitive, you need one thing above all else: content. A construction site camera helps you to achieve this. The integrated DSLR camera means the webcam delivers excellent quality recordings, which are automatically processed into time-lapse videos you can download and publish at any time. If you want to document a new project, market your property or publish exciting content about your company, a construction site camera is a must.
See what’s happening at any time and from anywhere
On today’s construction sites, project management is becoming increasingly demanding and space ever tighter. A construction site camera simplifies both the flow of goods and the project management. It gives you an overview of the site and allows you to see what is happening at any time with camera feeds via a smartphone app. Do you need an outdoor waiting area for trucks because of limited space on the site? An IP camera can help you manage that.
Monitoring delays, cost overruns and construction errors
Delays and cost overruns on construction sites are commonplace. Serious problems with the availability of building materials force construction companies to supervise building sites around the clock. A construction site camera allows you to monitor the flow of goods at all times.
Quality assurance on construction sites
A construction site camera seamlessly documents the construction process. Depending on the location, e.g. the crane boom, the camera can have an unrestricted view of the construction activity. This permits precise surveying of the positions of walls and pillars, as well as monitoring work steps. The latest video technology allows construction sites to be measured with centimetre precision. Detailed documentation of the operations helps if subsequent drilling is needed or defects are detected.
How does a construction site camera work?
A construction site camera takes photographs and sends the images to the portal at defined intervals. The intervals can be adjusted depending on the construction activity. The images from the construction site camera are automatically processed and stored.
Comparing construction site and surveillance cameras
A construction site camera is not the same as video surveillance. A construction site camera takes photographs, whereas a surveillance camera films.
The image frequency of a construction site camera can be flexibly adapted to your needs. For fast processes, the time lapse may be set as low as a few seconds. For projects lasting several years, the interval is often 5-10 minutes. A construction site camera shows the construction progress from a bird’s-eye view in high resolution. It should have the fullest possible overview of the entire construction site from an elevated position.
Surveillance cameras, on the other hand, are best mounted at eye level, close to the action.
Differences between construction site and surveillance cameras
|
FUNCTION |
CONSTRUCTION SITE CAMERA |
SURVEILLANCE CAMERA |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Construction site documentation; image-based quality assurance; measurement from images | Preventing theft, vandalism; surveillance |
| Image | Still photographs | Recorded video |
| Location | Often elevated for better overview | Best at eye level and close to the object to be monitored |
| Number | 1-2 cameras | Several |
| Data transfer via SIM card | Best method | Usually too costly. On-site video buffer required |
| Solar powered | Acceptable expense | Relatively expensive |
| Image resolution | Often 8-45 megapixels | Generally lower (<8 megapixels), due to the large data volume and better light sensitivity at night |
| GDPR-compliant | Yes, using our “Privacy Protector” | Difficult, since personal data is ALWAYS recorded |
