How it works

Document every moment of your construction project.

The old way of doing things no longer holds up. Site visits miss things. Phones lose photos. Reports get written from memory. And when something goes wrong, whether it's a claim, a delay, or a dispute, the record you need can't be trusted. PhotoSentinel keeps watch, gathers the intel, and reports back, so the record is always there.

Document everything. Manage nothing.

The camera ships pre-configured to your site. Mount it, and it starts capturing: automatically, on schedule, for the life of the project.

  • Captures on schedule, every day

    24MP camera with on-board scheduler: runs without anyone touching it.

  • No site power or Wi-Fi required

    Solar panel and battery, 4G/LTE for connectivity. Deploys anywhere.

  • Every frame archived from day one

    Cloud storage with timestamps and metadata. Nothing lives only on device.

Everything your team needs to show progress.

Every image is in the platform, organized by project and date. A progress update that would take an afternoon takes minutes to pull together.

  • Every project, one login

    Multi-project dashboard. Switch sites without switching tools.

  • Pull a report in minutes

    Timeline view, date-range exports, comparison frames. Built in.

  • Bring the site into a meeting

    Generate a timelapse or pull the latest frame on demand. No prep.

Always watching, never sleeping.

When something happens on site, a claim, a variation, or a dispute, rest assured that PhotoSentinel has the intel. Tamper-resistant, time-stamped, retrievable in minutes.

  • Tamper-resistant evidence

    Every frame stored with cryptographic timestamp and metadata. Holds up under scrutiny.

  • Retrievable by date or event

    Scrub to any moment, export a frame with full metadata, build a timeline.

  • GPS and device-anchored

    Each capture stamped with location and device hash. Provenance is built in.
