Construction professionals are increasingly turning to technology to help keep projects on schedule, within budget, and ultimately successful.

Construction cameras with time-lapse capabilities are among the most popular technologies that are impacting the construction industry today, but why are they so popular?

Let’s take a look at the driving factors behind their popularity and what actual iBEAM clients have to say.

It’s All About the Benefits Time-lapse Brings…

  1. Time-lapse construction cameras give contractors a compelling way to tell a complete story about their project from start to finish in crisp, UltraHD 4K resolution.

    “Our executives were amazed that a camera running on solar power and a cellular modem could be set up to capture the progress of the building, and they watched in fascination...as work progressed.

    “We have used and reused images and time-lapse movies within our leadership and internal corporate videos.”
    – Bruce D., Guthy Renker

  2. Time-lapse is a powerful and versatile marketing tool.

    Construction cameras with time-lapse features allow companies to share detail-rich 4K photos and movies on websites, in press releases or eNewsletters, on social media channels and more!

    "Time-lapse video helps us illustrate how fast modular buildings are installed. It's quite dramatic to see a building being installed in a few days as opposed to a few months with conventional construction.

    “We also use the cameras to document how our modular buildings are assembled. It can be hard for our customers to visualize how 24 modules fit together like Legos to create a building.

    "“Time-lapse video allows us to capture the installation so the customer understands the process."
    – Darleen S., WillScot

Construction camera documents progress
  1. Time-lapse is helpful to construction companies for spotting inefficiencies throughout the construction process.

    From improper delivery and storage of materials to subcontractors that are habitually late to show up, construction cameras with time-lapse features allow you the opportunity to address and resolve inefficiencies earlier, rather than later.

    “Our project manager uses the cameras on a daily basis to confirm that we have contractors on-site and work is progressing as scheduled.”
    – Tiffany L., Wall Development Group
