SiteStream is Site Eye’s live construction site camera service. It records your site continuously on 4K cameras, in HD or 4K, so you can watch it live or go straight to any 10-minute clip by date and time. Site Eye installs, runs and maintains the cameras for the whole project, so there is nothing for your site team to look after.
Records the whole build as 10-minute clips in HD or 4K that you can search by date and time and download. Clips are kept for 1 month or for the whole project.
Best for: incident checks, evidence and day-to-day oversight.
Streams in full HD to unlimited viewers, live or on a delay (for example 30 minutes, so you can stop the stream if there is an incident). Can record to the Portal at the same time.
Best for: investors, stakeholders and landmark projects.
Records to a server on site where a good internet connection isn’t possible. Standard holds up to 2 months; Professional (rack-mounted, RAID storage) up to 6 months.
Best for: sites with poor or no connectivity.
Portal and Live need a very good internet connection. We can provide a wired link or use your existing service.
Because every clip is time-stamped, you go straight to the moment you need instead of scrolling through stills.

1We talk through your project, agree the number and type of cameras and how long you need them, then send an estimate.
2We confirm camera positions and views, check the connection and any brackets or towers needed, then send a formal quote.
3Our engineers install every camera under a safe system of work, with RAMS for each task.
4Watch and download footage from anywhere, on iOS and Android too. We check every camera, and camera moves are included.
5The portal stays online free for 6 months after the project ends, and longer for a small monthly fee.

A live site camera shows you what happened on site. Some projects also need to measure it: movement in a neighbouring building, vibration from piling, or noise and dust at the boundary. Site Eye is part of the Survey Solutions Group, which runs sensor-based monitoring from 16 UK offices and holds ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and 27001. See how our cameras work alongside these sensors on our structural monitoring page.
Movement, tilt, settlement and cracks in buildings and structures, using total stations, prisms and tilt sensors, with text or email alerts when set limits are passed. Used for adjacent structures, party walls and basement digs.
Noise, vibration and dust, with real-time alerts, to meet Section 61 consents and planning conditions.
Track alignment, gauge, cant and twist, plus bridges, tunnels and platforms, to Network Rail standards.
Movement and deformation in roads, carriageways, bridges and nearby structures.
Camera footage and sensor readings together give you a fuller record of what happened and why. Site Eye provides these services, so mention monitoring in the form below and we’ll include it in your quote, or see all Survey Solutions monitoring services.

SiteStream is a live construction site camera service from Site Eye, the UK time-lapse specialist established in 2002. Site Eye installs and maintains HD and 4K cameras on your site, which stream live to a secure web portal and record continuously as 10-minute clips you can search by date and time. It is a construction monitoring service, not a video or TV streaming platform.
Standard time-lapse cameras don’t: they take high-resolution photos at set intervals. SiteStream does. It records your site continuously, saved as 10-minute clips you can search by date and time, alongside live viewing.
SiteStream starts from £310 per month. The price depends on how many cameras you need and how long the project runs. The site survey is free, and we send an estimate before you commit.
SiteStream Portal and Live need a very good internet connection. We can provide a 4G connection, wired link or use your existing service. Where neither is possible, SiteStream DVR records to a server on site.
On SiteStream Portal, you choose to keep clips for 1 month or for the whole project. On SiteStream DVR, Standard holds up to 2 months and Professional up to 6 months, depending on the storage and camera view, with the oldest clips overwritten first. After the project, the portal stays online free for 6 months.
Yes. SiteStream Live streams in full HD to unlimited viewers, and you can delay it, for example by 30 minutes, so the stream can be stopped if there is an incident.
We do. We check every camera throughout the project, our engineers respond to any issue, and camera moves are included.
No. You watch live and recorded footage through the online portal in a standard web browser, on a computer, tablet or phone. There is nothing to download or install.
Yes. The portal works from anywhere, including on iOS and Android devices.
Yes. As part of the Survey Solutions Group, Site Eye provides structural, environmental, rail and highway monitoring. Mention it in your enquiry and we’ll include it in your quote.
Tell us about your site and we will come back with an estimate and a time for your free site survey.
