FAQ

The hardware
Built to be left alone on a construction site.
A construction camera has to survive the thing it is documenting. It sits out in the weather for the length of the project, often on a site with no spare power and no reliable network, and it has to keep capturing without anyone tending to it. That constraint shapes every Buildcam: solar powered so it does not depend on site electricity, cellular connected so it does not depend on site internet, and sealed against dust, rain, and sun so it keeps working through the seasons.
Installation is deliberately simple. The camera arrives configured, and the only job on site is mounting it and pointing it, which takes under an hour and no specialist. There is no cable run to arrange, no technician to book, and no IT setup to wait on, so documentation starts on day one rather than after a deployment project of its own.
The range covers different jobs. The Buildcam TL is the documentation-first timelapse camera, the LS is built for live viewing when real-time visibility is the priority, and the Pro combines both. All three run on the same power and connectivity approach and feed the same platform, so the choice is about what a given site needs to see, not about learning a different system.
