Best-in-Class Construction Cameras

One of the best ways to plan jobsite camera coverage is to determine the results you'd like to see. A construction security camera system performs differently than a singular time-lapse camera. Both can provide unbiased records, but each has its own strengths in different environments. In general, progress monitoring typically requires one camera per structure. Projects with high-value materials or Builder's Risk insurance policies may need blind spot coverage, which typically requires three or more cameras. Professional camera service providers can complete site assessments, with plans that show visibility ranges, levels of detection, and options for different phases of the project.

All of our camera systems — Cobalt, Sapphire, and Indigo — include built-in 4G LTE as standard, so no jobsite internet or Wi-Fi setup is required. We also negotiate cellular rates directly with carriers. Other options for wireless construction cameras with built-in cellular typically require a separate subscription plan with strict data usage. Our cellular agreement includes what is captured, and our system maintains that history in the cloud, years after the project's completion.

A fixed camera mounts in one position and captures the same framed view for time-lapse and long-term documentation. Some models may also have the option for live video. A PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom, or sometimes 'VPTZ' video pan-tilt-zoom) camera provides the ability to adjust the camera angle or optical zoom, remotely. Within our system options, each camera is encased in a waterproof enclosure that is enhanced to handle extreme weather. Both model types are solar-compatible and can also be used in combination with one another for a robust on-demand view of the jobsite.

All of our camera models capture continual time-lapse images at regular intervals, which gives you a real-time view of your jobsite — so you're never missing what's happening on site. Beyond that, Cobalt and Indigo systems are capable of video on demand: short bursts of video that let you see live activity at the moment you request it. Sapphire systems add the capability for continuous live streaming, recording hours of footage without interruption. Every model gives you an up-to-date look at your site; the difference is how much motion and detail you want to capture beyond the time-lapse.
