Remote construction site monitoring, live and recorded

SiteStream 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.

  • From £310 per month
  • Free site survey
  • Fully managed
  • 3,000+ projects since 2002
  • Constructionline Gold

Three ways to monitor your site

SiteStream Portal

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.

SiteStream Live

Streams your site live, or on a delay (for example 30 minutes, so you can stop the stream if there is an incident), in full HD to unlimited viewers. Can record to the Portal at the same time.

Best for: investors, stakeholders and landmark projects.

SiteStream DVR

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.

Why sites use continuous camera monitoring

  • Investigating an incident or near-miss, and preventing it happening again
  • Capturing near-misses for staff training
  • Resolving disputes with contractors, suppliers or neighbours
  • Checking personal injury or damage claims
  • Watching site traffic, deliveries and logistics bottlenecks
  • Giving investors and stakeholders live visibility on high-profile projects
  • Keeping an eye on the site out of hours

Because every clip is time-stamped, you go straight to the moment you need instead of scrolling through stills.

SiteStream step by step

How it works

  1. Icon of a person, for the estimate step1

    Estimate

    We talk through your project, agree the number and type of cameras and how long you need them, then send an estimate.

  2. Map pin icon, for the free site survey2

    Free site survey and quote

    We confirm camera positions and views, check the connection and any brackets or towers needed, then send a formal quote.

  3. Camera icon, for safe installation3

    Safe installation

    Our engineers install every camera under a safe system of work, with RAMS for each task.

  4. Webcam icon, for watching your project live4

    During the project

    Watch and download footage from anywhere, on iOS and Android too. We check every camera, and camera moves are included.

  5. Cloud icon, for handover and portal access5

    Handover

    The portal stays online free for 6 months after the project ends, and longer for a small monthly fee.

Measure it as well as watch it: monitoring from Survey Solutions

SiteStream 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.

Structural monitoring prism fixed to a brick wall

Structural monitoring

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.

Environmental monitoring unit fixed to a tree beside a site

Environmental monitoring

Noise, vibration and dust, with real-time alerts, to meet Section 61 consents and planning conditions.

Rail monitoring equipment beside the track at a station

Rail monitoring

Track alignment, gauge, cant and twist, plus bridges, tunnels and platforms, to Network Rail standards.

Highways monitoring equipment mounted beside a road

Highway monitoring

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.

Frequently asked questions

How much does SiteStream cost?

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.

What internet connection does SiteStream need?

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.

How long is footage kept?

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.

Can we share a live stream with the public or investors?

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.

Who looks after the cameras?

We do. We check every camera throughout the project, our engineers respond to any issue, and camera moves are included.

Can I watch on my phone?

Yes. The portal works from anywhere, including on iOS and Android devices.

Can you add structural or environmental monitoring?

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.
