Construction Time-Lapse Camera Company UK

Site Eye Time-Lapse Cameras & Films

CONSTRUCTION TIME-LAPSE SPECIALISTS SINCE 2002

Site Eye is a UK time-lapse company. We install, run and maintain time-lapse cameras on construction and building sites across the country, then turn the footage into films for marketing, progress reports and handover. Since 2002 we have filmed more than 3,000 projects, and we have more than 400 cameras on site today.

Our fully managed 4G cameras run on mains or solar power, so they work on any site, for a few days or several years. Every image goes to a secure online portal you can view 24/7, with monthly clips during the build and a hand-edited film at the end. Long-term cameras start from £220 a month, with a free site survey and no hidden costs: see our time-lapse camera prices.

For continuous video, SiteStream records your site in HD or 4K and can stream it live. As part of the Survey Solutions Group, we can also add structural monitoring, plus environmental, rail and highway monitoring.

Our engineers are trained, fully insured and hold CSCS cards, and our team has made time-lapse clips for broadcasters including the BBC, Channel 4, Sky and Discovery. Curious where it all started? Read our history of time-lapse.

OUR TIME-LAPSE CAMERAS

TIME-LAPSE CAMERAS BUILT FOR BUILDING SITES

Our construction site cameras are made for long-term outdoor time-lapse filming on building sites, from groundworks to handover. Every camera is installed, monitored and maintained by our own engineers, so your team never has to manage the equipment.

Image quality: 6K cameras as standard, producing 4K time-lapse footage, with 8K and 12K cameras for large sites and long-range views. Films are delivered in 4K or full HD.
Connectivity: built-in 4G, so images upload every few minutes without using your site network or Wi-Fi.
Power: 110 V or 240 V mains, or solar power where the site has no supply.
Mounting: custom brackets, towers and housings, including tower crane mounts.
Online portal: every time-stamped image online 24/7, on desktop, iOS and Android.
Data security: encrypted logins, with images stored in two UK locations and cloned every night.
Live video: add SiteStream cameras to record and stream the site in HD or 4K.

TIME-LAPSE CAMERA QUESTIONS

What is a construction time-lapse camera?

A camera fixed on or near a building site that takes a photo every few minutes for the whole project. The photos are joined into time-lapse films and kept as a dated record of the build. More in our guide: what is time-lapse?

How do site cameras send images without Wi-Fi?

Every Site Eye camera has built-in 4G, so it uploads images to your online portal without connecting to the site network.

How much does a construction time-lapse camera cost?

Construction time-lapse cameras start from £220 a month, and short-term filming is quoted per project. Every price is confirmed after a free site survey, with no hidden costs.

Can I hire a time-lapse camera for a short project?

Yes. We film for a few days or weeks for a major lift, installation, event or fit-out, as well as builds that last several years.

Do you install cameras across the UK?

Yes. Our engineers install and look after cameras on sites across the UK, working from our offices in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, and Brighton.

Can I watch my site live?

The portal adds new images every few minutes, 24/7. For live video, SiteStream cameras record the site in HD or 4K and can stream it in real time.

SITESTREAM – THE NEXT LEVEL IN SITE MONITORING

CAPTURE YOUR ENTIRE PROJECT IN HD VIDEO

Traditional time-lapse site monitoring is achieved by sending still images back to an online portal where clients can view them from anywhere in the world.

SiteStream takes this to the next level, with HD video recordings instead of stills. Our SiteStream cameras capture the entire build as discrete 10 minute HD video clips which can be searched by date, time and easily downloaded.
