Why Motionlapse Cameras Are Built for Construction Success

In today’s fast-paced construction industry, capturing progress clearly and consistently is vital. A high-performance time lapse camera is no longer just a nice-to-have—it’s a critical tool for every job site. That’s exactly why Motionlapse has built a camera system tailored specifically to Australia’s tough construction environments.

Below, we break down what truly sets our construction time lapse camera systems apart from generic imports.

1. Built for Harsh Site Conditions

Unlike off-the-shelf cameras, Motionlapse units are designed from the ground up for the construction industry. Each system is housed in a rugged IP66-rated enclosure made from stainless steel and powder-coated aluminium.

Because of this robust design, the cameras can handle dust, heat, wind, and heavy rain with ease. They keep performing when other systems fail.

2. DSLR-Grade Image Quality, Every Time

At the heart of every Motionlapse system is a Canon EOS DSLR paired with a high-resolution sensor and adjustable zoom lens. As a result, you get crisp, detailed imagery perfect for reporting, stakeholder updates, or project marketing.

Since these are professional-grade cameras, your visuals will stand out—no matter the audience.

3. Self-Powered and Ready for Remote Locations

Not all construction sites have access to power. For that reason, our time lapse systems include:

• 20W solar panel
• 15,500mAh lithium-ion battery
• Smart internal charge controller

This setup ensures 24/7 operation, even in remote or off-grid locations. Consequently, your camera keeps recording without interruptions.

4. Connected and Backed Up in Real Time

Each system includes an integrated 4G modem and smart control module. This enables:

• Live remote access
• Secure backups to Dropbox, FTP, Google Drive, or AWS S3
• Automated email alerts and health monitoring

Because of this setup, you stay in control of your project imagery—anytime, anywhere.

5. A Powerful Online Image Portal

Every camera includes access to our custom-built portal, which does far more than just store photos. It lets you:

• Browse images by date and time
• View live TV-style slideshows
• Generate automatic time lapse videos
• Compare images side-by-side
• Filter out cloudy or rainy days using AI

Therefore, your camera becomes a true project management asset—not just a recording device.

6. Proudly Designed and Supported in Australia

All Motionlapse systems are designed, assembled, and supported locally. That means:

• Faster shipping
• Personalised technical support
• Options tailored to suit your unique site

Moreover, you’re working with a team that understands Australian construction challenges—because we face them too.
