[edit] Construction Cameras vs CCTV Cameras
If you are working on a construction project, you probably have a CCTV camera system set up at the site or are planning to set one up. Security at a construction site is important, and CCTV cameras can certainly help with that.
However…
Did you know that time-lapse cameras can offer a construction site so much more than just security?
Time-lapse and project management cameras offer a lot of value and unique features to construction projects that security cameras cannot.
Many construction projects, have a CCTV camera system set up at the site. Security on a construction site is important, and CCTV cameras can certainly help with that. However, time-lapse and project management cameras can offer construction sites other features beyond security.
- Overall view.
- Perimeter control.
- Self-monitoring.
- Remote monitoring.
- Recording of an entire construction project.
- High resolution or low resolution.
[edit] Advantages of time-lapse and project management cameras
[edit] Showcase work
A construction time-lapse video can showcase a contractors work, also now able to live stream, post on social media keeping stakeholders up to date and engaged. This can also help build brand exposure, to reach a wider audience, and enhance marketing / sales.
[edit] Empower project managers
Having the right image at the right time allows the progress of a project to be shared, showcasing project milestones, with immediate access to footage where and whenever it is needed.
[edit] Own the evidence
Don’t just win disputes, avoid them! Owning complete footage of an entire project can help with health and safety incident analysis/archival, potential QS disputes, potential sub-contractor disputes, and progress management. Your footage will also allow everyone to be on the same page for site meetings.
