Watch your project grow from the first day of work to handover. A time-lapse camera photographs your site at set intervals, month after month, and turns the pictures into a short film.
Project owners use it to show investors and buyers how the building is coming along. Contractors use it as a dated record of each stage. GTECH supplies the camera, installs it, keeps it running and edits the final video.
Tell us the site, the start date and the views you want. We will visit and put a proposal together.

How it works on site
A weatherproof, high-resolution camera is fixed in the best spot for the view you want. That could be a tower crane, a nearby building, a mast or the site hoarding.
Early in a project there is often no electricity and no internet. So the unit runs on a solar panel and battery, and sends its pictures over a 4G connection.
Your team logs in to a web portal to see the latest picture, browse the full archive and watch progress videos as the project moves on. You can share the link with consultants, clients and investors.
Summer heat, sand and a changing site are all tough on a camera. We clean the lens, check the framing and move the camera when the site layout changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does the camera take a picture?
Most sites use one picture every 5 to 30 minutes. We agree the interval with you, based on the length of the project and how much detail you want in the final film.
Does the camera need site electricity or internet?
No. It runs on solar and a battery and sends pictures over 4G. It can start on day one.
What if the best view changes as the site grows?
We plan for it. Cameras can be moved during the project, and we can add a second camera for another angle.
Can we add security cameras to the same site?
Yes. Site CCTV and the time-lapse camera can be installed together and viewed through the same system.
