What Is a Construction Site Time Lapse Camera?

In short, a construction site time lapse camera for your London site is a camera positioned to capture the progression of a construction project over an extended period of time. 

It works by taking images at specific predetermined intervals, which can then be compiled into a time lapse video, condensing months of construction activity into a concise visual record.

Where VIS Systems comes in…

Our construction time lapse cameras are designed with the demanding conditions of construction sites in mind, that is why we provide features that make the cameras a trusted partner in your documentation journey. 

Our cameras boast 4K+ resolution, high-speed 4G/5G connectivity and durable, weather-resistant equipment capable of capturing detailed imagery throughout the project.

Once the images are captured by our system, they’re uploaded in real time to a secure online platform, which can be accessed through a private login. 

This means authorised users can view their project remotely, review recorded footage and monitor progress throughout the build.

Why to use Time Lapse Cameras on your London construction site

There are a huge amount of benefits of using construction time lapse cameras, they provide far much more than an end-of-project video. 

While they can of course provide a permanent visual record of a construction project, some of the main attractions of a time lapse camera for your London construction site include…

Monitoring construction progress

Time lapse cameras are an effective way to capture the development of a project over time. By recording each stage of construction, project managers can monitor progress, identify delays and maintain a clear visual record of key milestones.

Rather than relying on what is arguably a dated method of presentations or written updates, a time lapse video can demonstrate how a project has progressed in a more engaging format.

Marketing your construction project

Construction companies, developers and any other potential people of interest across your development can use time lapse footage as a powerful marketing asset.

A professional construction time lapse video has the ability to demonstrate the speed and efficiency of a project while also showcasing the sheer capabilities of the companies involved. 

Not only that, but your footage can also provide an engaging way to present completed projects to potential future clients or investors.

With our systems, we’re able to produce professional end-to-end videos incorporating your own branding and soundtrack, helping you create a finished marketing asset.

Training and monitoring

Construction time lapse cameras can also be used to record processes and operations for training, since by capturing the development of a project from start to finish, footage can help visually demonstrate construction stages to potential members of staff or contractors.

Combining time lapse technology with site security

Construction time lapse cameras can also be integrated with other site monitoring technologies.

In fact, at VIS Systems we work to combine time lapse cameras with AI-powered CCTV, helping to document the progression of your London construction project and all the while, support site security. 

What to Look for in a Construction Time Lapse Camera

When choosing a construction time lapse camera, it is important to consider the environment in which the equipment will be operating in, the quality of the footage required and if the images can be accessed easily or not.

Here are some of the main things to look out for…

  • Image quality
  • Weather resistance
  • Reliable connectivity
  • Remote access
  • Zoom functionality
  • Security integration
  • Unlimited user accounts
  • ANPR and BIM integration
  • Drone aerial photography

High-resolution imagery should be non-negotiable, presenting construction time lapse footage in poor quality only undermines your professionalism.

At VIS Systems, we use 4K+ cameras to capture high-definition images throughout the project. This provides clear footage suitable for both project documentation and marketing purposes.
