Time-Lapse Camera Positions
Selecting Camera Positions for Site Monitoring
We don't just set and forget our time-lapse cameras from a distance. We actively monitor their output and relocate them when a better angle arises, avoiding repetitive, monotonous documentation from a single vantage point to deliver dynamic construction time-lapse videos.
We scout locations for optimal vantage points and manage all liaising with building managers and local councils for permission to mount our non-destructive camera mounting systems.
Attaching time-lapse cameras to rooftops, scaffolding, cranes, and custom poles is our specialty.
Explore our range of time-lapse projects to see how we condense months of work into high quality cinematic time-lapse videos.
From groundbreaking to the handover, we deliver high quality monthly footage for site updates, marketing, project libraries and large photographic enlargements.
With 5.2K ultra high resolution photographs taken every five or ten minutes 24/7, our service is also great for site security.
Our long-term commercial construction time-lapse systems have provided reliable site monitoring and detailed project documentation for major high-rise building developments across Sydney for many years.
