Application
Know what was done, when, and by whom.
Buildcam creates an independent visual record of subcontractor activity on your site. Time-stamped, searchable, and available the moment a question or dispute arises.
Site record
An independent record of who was on site, and what was done.
Holding a subcontractor to account is hard when the only record of the day is a site diary and the memory of whoever was standing there. Was the work done when it was claimed? Did the crew turn up? Was the sequence followed. When accounts differ, there is rarely anything solid to settle it, and the argument comes down to who is more certain.
Buildcam removes the guesswork. A solar-powered, 4G-connected camera captures the site on a timestamped timelapse, building a continuous visual record that runs on its own. Every frame is dated and logged in Sentinel OS, so completed works, deliveries, and site conditions are documented as they happen rather than reconstructed after the fact. The record does not depend on self-reporting: it shows what took place, regardless of what was written up.
When a question arises, the answer is already on file. Pull the footage for a given day, confirm the work against the timeline, and share it with the relevant parties through role-based access. Exportable footage carries its metadata with it, so the same record supports progress claims, payment certification, and dispute resolution. Most disagreements resolve the moment there is something objective to look at.
How it works
An independent record that runs without you.
Buildcam captures site activity continuously
Every 10 minutes, a 24MP image is logged with a timestamp. Works completed, materials delivered, and site conditions are recorded automatically without relying on subcontractor reporting.
Sentinel OS builds a searchable timeline
Every image is indexed by date and time in your project archive. When a dispute arises, you can pull the visual record for any day, any period, and share a link with the relevant parties.
Share access with the right people
Role-based permissions in Sentinel OS let you give subcontractors, PMs, and clients access to specific date ranges or camera views without exposing the full project record.
What you get
Stop managing subcontractors on trust.
Time-stamped visual evidence
Every image is dated and logged. No more relying on site diaries or conflicting recollections.
Independent from subcontractor reporting
The camera records what happened, regardless of what was reported. You have an objective reference.
Works verification at a glance
Check that specific tasks were completed on the day claimed. Use the timeline to confirm scope.
Dispute resolution without the dispute
When issues arise, share a dated video clip or image sequence. Most disagreements resolve quickly.
No extra site visits
Verify activity remotely from Sentinel OS. Save the site visit for when it actually matters.
Works across all subcontract packages
Civil, structural, mechanical, electrical. One camera covers the site regardless of who is working.
