Feature: Solar power
Powered by the sun.
Not by the site.
Every Buildcam runs on solar power with onboard battery backup and 4G connectivity. No mains power, no cabling, no electrician.
Continuous timelapse documentation from the first day of groundworks to handover.
Why it matters
Site power is the thing that holds up documentation. So we removed it.
No power, no cabling, no electrician
A Buildcam draws its power from the sun, not the site. There is no trenching, no electrical contractor, and no network setup, which removes a whole line item and a whole dependency from your deployment.
Recording before the site has power
Because the camera is self-powered and connects over 4G, it can be capturing from the first day of groundworks, well before mains power or fixed internet arrive. The record starts when the work does.
Continuous through the build
Solar keeps the onboard battery charged, and the battery carries the camera through overcast stretches and site power changeovers. The timeline stays continuous rather than dropping out when conditions or infrastructure change.
Single-person install
Each Buildcam ships pre-configured. With no wiring to run, one person can position and secure it in well under an hour, then leave it to run unattended.
