Industry: Data centers

Mission-critical builds need mission-critical documentation.

Hyperscale campuses and colocation facilities are built on tight timelines with strict access controls. Buildcam delivers continuous visual documentation and remote oversight without adding site traffic.

The build behind the build

A data center is built fast, then closed to the world.

Data center builds move quickly and carry high stakes. Hyperscale campuses, colocation facilities, and edge deployments run to compressed programs where every phase, from groundworks to commissioning, has to land on schedule. Buildcam captures each stage as it happens, giving project leads and owners a continuous visual record without adding foot traffic to a site that is already tightly controlled.

Access is restricted from the first day, and confidentiality matters. Buildcam runs on solar power and 4G, so cameras stay live without drawing on site infrastructure, and every view is governed by role-based access in Sentinel OS. Teams see what they are cleared to see, and sensitive milestones stay in the right hands while progress is shared with the people who need it.

The fit-out is where a data center gets complicated. Structural, mechanical, and electrical packages overlap across data halls, and many contractors work the same floor at once. Buildcam documents that coordination as it unfolds and holds it as a dated, exportable record. Once the facility is commissioned and locked down, that archive is often the only way back into how it was built.

Why Buildcam

Designed for complex, access-restricted construction environments.

Secure remote visibility

Data center construction sites carry strict access controls from day one. Buildcam delivers real-time site visibility to project leads, owners, and QAQC teams without additional site entries. Access is controlled through role-based permissions in Sentinel OS.

Commissioning and handover documentation

Data center handovers involve dense technical sign-off requirements across civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical packages. Buildcam builds a continuous visual archive that supports commissioning checklists and provides dated evidence for each milestone.

Multi-site program oversight

Hyperscale programs run concurrent builds across multiple sites. Sentinel OS gives program managers a single login across every camera, with consistent timeline views and the ability to share project-specific access with site teams independently.

Questions about monitoring data center builds.

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

Data center programs move on compressed schedules, with trades running in parallel across each hall. Buildcam captures the site continuously and builds a timelapse of the full sequence, so you can confirm what happened and when without waiting for a site walk. Because the camera runs on solar power and 4G, it can be recording from the earliest groundworks, before site utilities are in place.
Yes. The window to record mechanical, electrical, and structural work is short: once walls close and equipment is racked, the record of what sits behind them is gone. A camera positioned on the active area captures each stage as it is installed, giving you a dated visual record of the fit-out before it disappears from view. That archive stays available for later reference through Sentinel OS.
Owners and hyperscale clients often oversee builds from another city or country and cannot attend site regularly. Buildcam gives them a live 4K stream and a continuous timelapse they can review from any browser. Sentinel OS uses role-based access, so each party sees only the projects and cameras they are entitled to view.
Data center sites carry strict access control, and every additional visit is another entry to manage. Because Buildcam runs unattended, teams can check progress remotely instead of arranging another site entry. Access to the footage itself is governed by role-based permissions in Sentinel OS, so viewing is limited to the people you authorize.
The camera runs on a fixed schedule and records the site as it is, without anyone deciding in the moment which frames matter. That produces a dated, continuous record you can return to when a question arises about sequence, condition, or timing. Footage is exportable from Sentinel OS, so the relevant frames can be pulled and shared when they are needed.
Yes. Large programs often run concurrent builds across multiple campuses. Sentinel OS brings every camera into a single login with consistent timeline views, and project-specific access can be shared with each site team independently. Program managers get one vantage point across the whole build without logging in and out of separate accounts.
Data center builds involve extended commissioning phases and periods where site power is being established or switched. Because each Buildcam is solar powered with onboard battery and connects over 4G, it does not depend on site mains or fixed internet to keep recording. The visual timeline stays continuous through those transitions, right up to handover.
