Why it matters

Know what is happening on site without being on site.

A drive to site to confirm a delivery arrived, or to see whether the night shift is running, is time that comes out of the day. On a distributed project, that time multiplies across every site a team is trying to hold in view. Remote visibility replaces the trip with a live view. Buildcam LS streams a 4K livestream you can open from a phone or a laptop, so a routine check that used to mean a site visit takes a moment instead.

Buildcam LS runs on solar power and 4G, so it goes up on a pole and starts streaming without mains power or Wi-Fi to configure. That means a live view of remote or early-stage sites where the infrastructure is not there yet. Sentinel OS holds every camera in one place, so a manager watching several sites moves between them from a single login rather than chasing separate feeds.

When the site is visible to everyone who needs it, the conversation changes. A project manager, an owner, and a contractor can all look at the same current view instead of trading descriptions of what they think is happening. Role-based access controls who sees what, so the right people get the right view. The result is fewer trips, faster answers, and a distributed team working from one shared picture of the site as it stands today.

Remote visibility

Questions about seeing your site from anywhere.

The ones that come up most on remote site visibility. The full FAQ lives in Resources.

Yes. Buildcam LS and Pro stream live 4K, so you can open Sentinel OS and see current site conditions from wherever you are. The stream works in any modern browser, so there is nothing to install to check in. Log in, select the site, and you are looking at it as it is right now.
Sentinel OS runs in the browser on your desktop, tablet, or phone. There is no separate app to download for the web experience. The same login gives you the same view of your cameras regardless of which device you happen to have with you.
All of your cameras sit under one Sentinel OS login, so you switch between sites without logging in and out. You can review each location in turn rather than traveling to every job in person. For teams running a portfolio, this keeps oversight in one place.
No. Buildcam runs on integrated solar power and connects over 4G LTE cellular, so it does not depend on existing infrastructure. That means it works on remote or early-stage sites where power lines and networks are not yet in place. It goes up on a pole and starts capturing.
Yes. Because the view is remote, you can log in during a night shift or a severe weather event without sending anyone to site. You assess conditions from a safe location and decide what needs a response. The camera keeps running through the conditions that would otherwise keep people away.
Sentinel OS uses role-based access, so you control who can view each site. You can give clients, executives, or field teams the access that suits them without exposing everything to everyone. Access is managed centrally rather than by sharing a single set of credentials.
No. The live view and the timelapse record work alongside each other. You get the current picture when you log in, and Buildcam continues to build a timestamped visual timeline of the project in the background. One tells you what is happening now, the other tells you what happened over time.
Cost depends on the camera model and how many sites you are running. Refer to our pricing page for a full breakdown of our pricing. A PhotoSentinel specialist can also walk you through what suits your project.
