4G LTE SOLAR POWERED TIME-LAPSE CAMERAS
Choosing the right camera for long-term construction time-lapse is a key aspect of successful filming. The camera must not only be technically capable of performing the task, but also resistant to various weather conditions and other external factors. The camera must be as reliable as possible in order to work without failures throughout construction and at the same time have flexible settings and good color rendition.
01
DSLR and mirrorless cameras
Provide high image quality and the ability to manually adjust shooting parameters. Can be used with a variety of lenses and accessories. These cameras require the separate purchase of a weatherproof housing and an optional programmable time-lapse controller. Setting up such cameras is quite complex and requires knowledge in the field of photography. The advantage of such professional cameras for time-lapse photography is the use of optics with a fixed focal length; such optics have good transmission of perspective lines, high contrast and resolution across the entire field of the frame.
02
CCTV and IP cameras
Outdoor CCTV cameras are becoming increasingly common for time-lapse filming of construction; they are much easier to set up than DSLRs and are immediately produced in an outdoor housing. The quality of the matrices used in such cameras has increased significantly in recent years and some models are approaching professional cameras. Modern models of CCTV cameras such as AXIS and Hikvision with ColorVu technology are equipped with highly sensitive sensors, which allows you to take color photographs even in the evening and at night with low illumination of the construction site. But CCTV cameras themselves cannot do time-lapse filming and require connection to a cloud service.

Connecting a CCTV camera to a time-lapse shooting service
If you already have a CCTV camera installed at the construction site, then you can set up time-lapse shooting on it and upload photos to our FTP server - this is the easiest way to make a time-lapse from almost any CCTV camera. 90% of modern CCTV cameras allow you to upload photos. The second method is if your camera has a fixed IP address on the Internet, then it can be connected via ONVIF or RTSP protocols. In this case, you will have access to online video broadcasting, video recording and automatic monitoring of the camera’s performance. This method is somewhat more complicated because not all cameras need to have an IP address. You can leave a request and our technical support engineers will help you connect an IP address for your camera.
If you do not yet have frames installed on your site, you can purchase the equipment at your nearest specialty store.
We have tested CCTV cameras from various manufacturers and can send you a catalog of cameras that are suitable for long-term construction time-lapse filming of construction and are available for purchase in your region. We can also select for you an LTE 4G modem for working on construction sites where there is no wired Internet. Or a solar station for connecting cameras in areas without electricity. Leave a request and a personal manager will contact you, advise you, and help you buy and set up a camera. Also inYou can purchase or rent a pre-configured time-lapse camera kit, already assembled and designed in our workshop. This is the easiest way to make a time lapse. equipment equipped with an 4G LTE modem and all you need is to install a SIM card and connect the camera to an electrical outlet.
Our system provides the ability to connect Intelbras and Dahua IP cameras in the easiest way. To connect equipment from these suppliers, you do not need a static IP address and complex network equipment settings. In the camera menu you enable a connection to our server and enter the provided security key and your IP camera becomes a time-lapse camera. The quality and reliability of Intelbras and Dahua cameras make it possible to make time-lapse videos for use on social networks and promotion of a construction project. By connecting cameras to the service, you will also receive an archive of photographs taken during the entire construction period and an online video broadcast for safety at the construction site.
