What is a construction site time lapse camera?

A construction site time lapse camera is a camera that has been designed and installed to capture the progression of a construction project over a prolonged period of time.

More specifically, the camera takes images at specific intervals, which are then compiled into a visually compelling time lapse video, seamlessly condensing months of construction work into a concise record of the project.

Why to use time lapse cameras on your Birmingham construction site

Using a construction time lapse camera provides benefits beyond documentation, in fact time lapse footage can help in many other ways. For example, you’re able to, with this footage, monitor progress, demonstrate milestones and create a professional marketing asset.

More specifically, some popular reasoning behind time lapse cameras include…

#1 Tracking construction progress 

Time lapse cameras are an incredibly effective way of capturing the development of a construction project over time. They provide a visual record of each phase without the need for lengthy and somewhat dated presentations.

#2 Marketing your construction company in Birmingham

Time lapse videos are used frequently by construction companies, architects and developers, all of which benefit massively from showcasing their projects to potential clients.

A professional, high quality yet digestible construction time lapse video can demonstrate the speed and efficiency of the work, all the while providing an engaging way to showcase the capabilities of your business.

#3 Training future staff

Aside from marketing and management of the build itself, construction time lapse cameras are also used to record operational aspects for staff training purposes.

By capturing the process from start to finish, footage can help identify particular stages of a project that may be useful for staff training.

There are endless reasons why a construction time lapse camera may be beneficial to your project. The good news, at VIS Systems, we can work with you to determine the best approach for your Birmingham construction site and what system would best meet your requirements.

What to look for in a construction time lapse camera

When choosing a construction time lapse camera, we suggest looking for particular features that make up a reliable system.

  • Image quality
  • Weather resistance
  • Reliable connectivity
  • Remote access

Ensure that any footage can be developed into a professional end-to-end video featuring your own branding and soundtrack, this is extremely effective when it comes to presenting the end result to prominent people within the realm of the build.
