Document the build without disrupting the operation.

Terminal expansions, runway extensions, and landside developments run alongside live airport operations. Buildcam provides a continuous visual record for every phase, without requiring a documentation crew on site.

The environment

Airport construction is documented under some of the tightest access and compliance conditions of any build.

Aviation projects run inside secured airport boundaries, where access is controlled and every visit airside carries an escort, an induction, and a security check. A camera fixed to the site removes that friction. Buildcam runs on solar power and cellular connectivity, so it captures the build continuously without a technician passing through the gate each day.

Airport works answer to more parties than most builds. The airport operator, the airlines, aviation regulators, contractors, and the traveling public all have a stake in how the project proceeds. Sentinel OS gives each of them a current view through role-based access and shared links, so a regulator, an operator, and a head-office team can see the same dated record without setting foot airside.

Terminal expansions and runway works stretch across long, phased programs that unfold beside live operations. A continuous timelapse holds every phase boundary and handover in one place, and livestreaming lets project teams check the site from anywhere. Exportable footage becomes the reference when a sequence is questioned or a milestone needs verifying, without another trip airside.

Why Buildcam

Built for high-compliance, high-visibility construction environments.

Airside compliance documentation

Aviation construction works within one of the most regulated environments in any industry. Buildcam creates a continuous, dated visual archive that supports aerodrome safety audits, CASA compliance submissions, and insurance assessments without requiring a separate documentation crew.

Stakeholder reporting without site access

Airport construction involves multiple parties: airport operators, airlines, government bodies, and the public. Shared project links in Sentinel OS give each stakeholder current site visibility without requiring a pass, an escort, or an airside induction.

Phased works across live operations

Aviation projects run alongside live terminal and runway operations. Buildcam documents every phase boundary and handover point, building a visual record that supports safe sequencing and provides evidence if phase completion is disputed.

Questions about monitoring aviation and airport projects.

The ones that come up most on aviation projects. The full FAQ lives in Resources.

Yes. Once a Buildcam is installed and pointed at the works, the site comes to you rather than the other way around. Timelapse capture and 4K livestream run continuously, so project managers and remote stakeholders can review current conditions from any browser. That removes most of the routine trips that would otherwise mean an escort, a pass, and an airside induction each time.
Buildcam is solar powered and connects over 4G cellular, so it does not need mains power or a fixed network drop pulled into a restricted zone. That keeps the install footprint small and the ongoing site presence low. Access in Sentinel OS is role based, so only the people you authorize can view a given project feed.
Aviation projects carry a wide stakeholder group, and few of them can walk airside on short notice. Shareable project links in Sentinel OS give each party current visibility of the works without a pass or an escort. Role based access lets you decide who sees what, so the operator, the contractor, and reporting bodies each get the view that suits them.
Terminal expansions and runway or taxiway upgrades usually proceed next to aircraft movements and passenger flow. A Buildcam is mounted at a fixed vantage point clear of the operational envelope, so it documents the works without interfering with them. The compact solar and cellular setup means the physical footprint stays modest on a busy apron or landside area.
Yes. Aviation infrastructure often runs for years across sequenced phases, and the camera captures the whole arc rather than isolated moments. Continuous timelapse builds a dated record from site preparation through structure, envelope, and handover. That single archive supports phase boundary reviews and gives you a reference if a completion date or a sequence is later questioned.
A continuous, timestamped visual record gives you a dated reference for conditions on any given day of the project. That supports aerodrome safety reviews, insurer queries, and internal audits without standing up a separate documentation crew. Footage is exportable from Sentinel OS, so you can hand a specific date range to whoever needs it.
Cost depends on the number of cameras, the vantage points you need to cover, and how long the project runs. Aviation sites often use several cameras across terminals, runways, and support facilities, and we scope each deployment to the works in front of it.
