What Is a Construction Site Time Lapse Camera?

A construction site time lapse camera is a specialised camera designed to capture the entire progression of a construction project over time.   These cameras are equipped with high-quality imaging technology, with ours offering 4K+ resolution and advanced features such as high-speed 4G/5G connectivity. They can record the construction process at specific intervals, condensing months of work into a visually compelling time lapse video construction.  

At VIS Systems, we provide arguably the best time lapse camera for construction solutions that are tailored for the demanding environment of a building site. The cameras are durable, weather-resistant, and capable of capturing every detail in ultra-high-definition, from the start to the completion of the project.

Why Utilise Time Lapse Cameras for Construction Sites

Utilising a time lapse camera for construction projects provides numerous benefits beyond documentation of the project. With our construction site time lapse cameras, you can track the progress of your project in a whole new way.

The power of construction time lapse lies in its ability to create a permanent record of the entire project. It offers you and your stakeholders a clear view of milestones, project progression times, and even potential challenges and mistakes to avoid on the next build. Building time lapse footage can also be used as an incredible marketing tool, showcasing your company’s capabilities and commitment to transparency, making it easier to attract future investments and clients. Additionally, time lapse systems integrate seamlessly with other site monitoring technologies, such as VIS Systems’ CCTV for enhanced security analytics and ANPR for vehicle tracking, offering a comprehensive surveillance solution for your project.

How to Get the Best Quality for Your Time Lapse Video

To ensure you get the best quality for your construction time lapse, you need to consider several factors.

First, the camera’s resolution is key.

At VIS Systems, we offer 4K+ cameras that deliver high-definition imagery with every shot. This ensures that the time lapse video construction you receive is crisp, clear, and perfect for both professional documentation and marketing purposes.  

Another factor to consider is the connection speed. Our high-speed 4G/5G connectivity ensures your images and videos are uploaded in real-time to your secure online portal, allowing for easy access and immediate updates. Not only that, but the option for zoom functionality gives you the ability to zoom in on the finer details of construction, ensuring that no important aspect of your project goes unnoticed.  

To capture the best footage, make sure to make use of multi-site portal features, especially if you have multiple projects underway. This allows you to monitor various projects at the same time, providing a comprehensive overview of your operations.

What to Look for in a Construction Time Lapse Camera

When choosing the best time lapse camera for construction, several features are crucial to ensure high-quality footage and efficient project monitoring. Key considerations include:  

● Image Quality: A high-resolution camera is essential. The 4K+ quality available in our systems ensures your footage is sharp and professional.

● Weather Resistance: Construction sites are often exposed to poor weather conditions in the UK in particular, so it’s important that your camera is built to withstand harsh conditions.

● Security Features: Integration with VIS Systems CCTV allows your time-lapse camera to double as a security system.

● User Access: Opt for a system that supports unlimited user accounts, allowing team members, stakeholders, and clients to access footage anytime via a secure web portal.  

By investing in the right construction time lapse camera, you can ensure that your project is documented accurately and professionally from start to finish.
