Track project progress in realtime
Global access remotely – 24/7
Fully insured and trained staff
Valuable project marketing tool
Site Eye installs, runs and maintains time lapse cameras on construction sites across the UK, then turns the footage into films for marketing, progress reports and handover.
Since 2002 we have filmed more than 3,000 projects for contractors and developers including Kier, Mace, Lendlease, Balfour Beatty and Network Rail. Our 4G timelapse cameras run on solar or mains power and send images to your online portal 24/7.
Learn more about your sector:
Short-term cameras for a major lift, event or fit-out, or long-term cameras for a multi-year build. The same fully managed service either way.
Tell us about your project and we will come back with an estimate and a time for your free site survey.

Site Eye is part of the Survey Solutions Group, so cameras can sit alongside structural and environmental monitoring.
We handle everything below, so you never have to manage the cameras, the uploads or the editing.
We film every kind of project: Rail · Infrastructure · Ship Builds · Internal Fit-outs · Natural World · Energy · London
Tell us about your project and what you need the footage for. We send an estimate and can adjust it to fit your budget.
We visit to plan camera positions, check the 4G signal and prepare the safety documents.
We confirm the price, updated only for anything that was not in the original brief.
Our engineers install the cameras under a safe system of work, with RAMS for each task.
You watch progress in the portal, get monthly clips, and we keep every camera running.
We edit your final film with you and keep the portal open for six months afterwards.
Three cameras filmed three years of the biggest single investment in the airport’s history: a multi-storey car park, dual carriageway, taxiway, boarding pier and terminal extension. Monthly videos and the mobile app kept the whole business up to date.
“Always professional and easy to deal with. Nothing has seemed too much trouble.”
Neil Bradford, London Luton Airport
Cameras on all nine active plots of the 85-acre development, used for daily security and vehicle-movement checks as well as marketing, all feeding one secure portal.
“The Site Eye team are approachable, helpful and friendly.”

Marketing & PR
Time-lapse footage is an ideal way to showcase your project. It is perfect for social media and keeps viewers in the loop of project progress
It is also a great tool to draw interest on a website or intranet page. Time-lapse clips can be mixed with our Drone footage and Corporate Filming to make compelling documentaries and keep interest buzzing.
Site Monitoring
Because recording time-lapse results in the collection of thousands of very high quality still images, every few minutes throughout the project, it is also an ideal tool for monitoring the site. All images are uploaded to our servers and are immediately available to clients through our online secure Portal.
Construction time-lapse cameras start from £220 per month. Short-term filming for events and major lifts is quoted per project. The price depends on:
Whether you hire one timelapse camera for a few weeks or several for a multi-year build, we can tailor the service to your budget. Ask for a free, no-obligation quote. See our full price guide for what is included.

Cameras start from £220 per month. The price depends on the project length, the number of cameras, the power and mounting, and the films you want. Every quote is confirmed after a free site survey, with no hidden costs.
We handle the whole job: a free site survey, installation by our own engineers with RAMS, remote monitoring and maintenance, camera moves, 24/7 access to the online portal, a clip from each camera every month, a final edited film, and six months’ free portal access after the project.
We film projects of any length, from a few days for a major lift or event to builds lasting several years.
No Wi-Fi is needed: every camera has built-in 4G. Cameras run on 110 V or 240 V mains, or on solar power where the site has no supply.
It depends on the size of the site and the views you want. One camera covers many projects. Larger sites use several: at Wembley Park we covered nine active plots, and at Victoria Square, Woking, one solar camera grew to three. The site survey recommends the right number.
We record in 4K as standard, with 8K and 12K cameras for large sites and long-range views. Final films are delivered in 4K or full HD.
The portal updates with new images every few minutes, 24/7. For live HD video, our SiteStream cameras stream the site in real time.
Site Eye is Constructionline Gold accredited. Our engineers are trained, fully insured and hold CSCS cards. They work under a safe system of work and provide task-specific RAMS for every installation.
We edit a final time-lapse film with you, adding drone footage, stills, music and titles if you want them. The portal stays open free for six months, and longer for a small monthly fee.
Book a free, no-obligation site survey and we will recommend the right cameras for your site.
