Industry: Government & public works

Public money builds it. A continuous record proves it.

Municipal, local government, and public works projects carry long timelines and high accountability. Buildcam delivers continuous, dated documentation that stands up to scrutiny and keeps every stakeholder informed.

The public build

The record has to outlast the project.

Municipal buildings, courthouses, transit works, and civic infrastructure are funded by the public and answerable to it. That means the documentation has to be continuous, objective, and available years after the ribbon is cut. Buildcam captures each phase as it happens, giving project teams and public bodies a visual record that does not depend on who remembered to take a photo that day.

Access is rarely simple. A single project can involve a council, a funding agency, a head contractor, and a community that wants to see progress. Sentinel OS governs every view with role-based permissions, so each party sees what they are cleared to see, and a public-facing timelapse can be shared without exposing the rest of the program.

These projects also run long, often through phases where site power and connectivity are still being established. Because each Buildcam is solar powered and connects over 4G, the timeline stays continuous from the earliest groundworks to final handover, ready to answer a question about sequence, condition, or timing whenever one is raised.

Why Buildcam

Built for accountability, compliance, and public trust.

A defensible public record

Public projects are held to account long after handover. Buildcam records the site on a fixed schedule, producing a dated, continuous archive that supports milestone verification, change order validation, and audit-ready reporting. The footage is stored and exportable in Sentinel OS.

Access that respects the chain of oversight

Councils, agencies, funders, and contractors each need a different view. Sentinel OS uses role-based permissions, so every party sees only what they are authorized to see, and a project-specific view can be shared with an oversight or community group without opening the rest of the program.

Built for long, unattended timelines

Public works run for years and often start before site power exists. Each Buildcam is solar powered with onboard battery and connects over 4G, so it keeps recording through commissioning and power changeovers without depending on site mains or fixed internet.

Questions about documenting public projects.

The ones that come up most on government and public works builds. The full FAQ lives in Resources.

Yes. Municipal and public works projects often run for years, and the record needs to stay continuous the whole way. Each Buildcam runs on solar power with onboard battery and connects over 4G, so it keeps recording from groundworks through to handover without depending on site mains or fixed internet. The full timelapse and every original frame stay available in Sentinel OS for the life of the project.
The camera records on a fixed schedule, so the result is a dated, continuous record that no one edited in the moment. That gives project teams and public bodies an objective timeline for milestone verification, change order validation, and dispute resolution. Frames are exportable from Sentinel OS, so the relevant evidence can be pulled and shared when a question arises.
Access to footage is governed by role-based permissions in Sentinel OS. Council staff, agency stakeholders, funders, and contractors each see only the projects and cameras they are authorized to view. You can share a project-specific view with a community or oversight group without opening up the rest of your program.
Yes. Sentinel OS brings every camera into a single login with consistent timeline views, so a program manager can move across sites without logging in and out of separate accounts. Access to each site can still be shared independently with the local team responsible for it.
A timelapse is a clear, honest way to show progress to elected officials, funders, and the public. Because every image sits in Sentinel OS organized by project and date, a progress update that would take an afternoon to assemble takes minutes, and the same footage doubles as a public-facing record of the work delivered.
