Q: Could you please tell us about yourself and about your company? How did it get started, and how has it evolved and grown?
A: In the early 2000s, when we were undertaking our first timelapse projects, keeping cameras running was difficult – requiring frequent battery and tape changes. To overcome this challenge, Site-Eye developed a system based on digital cameras and software that could reliably take timelapse images at defined intervals for literally weeks on end. Since then, there has been high demand for our solutions, and we are now the biggest timelapse video provider in the UK.
Q: What does the Site-Eye solution do? What are the key benefits for clients?
A: Site-Eye automates the process of timelapse imaging on site, making it very efficient and customizable to clients' needs. For example, we can configure all connected cameras centrally, which means we can set the interval for images to be taken, turn cameras off and on remotely, and change the interval between timelapse images. Based on these capabilities, clients can create great marketing content for their projects, resolve supplier disputes faster, and increase overall site security and project efficiency. Thanks to these benefits, a project manager on a very large construction project in London reported a £1 million saving with Site-Eye.
