What Your Camera Needs

No proprietary hardware. Most IP cameras with these four things work with LapseCloud.

📤
Scheduled FTP Upload
Your camera uploads photos by FTP on a schedule. Many IP cameras include this in their settings.
📷
4MP Or Higher
Sharper frames make a better time-lapse. We recommend a 4MP minimum and a 12MP model such as the Reolink 12MP for wide sites.
🔌
Power And Connection
A power source on site and a connection that reaches the internet, such as Wi-Fi, Ethernet or a 4G router.
📍
A Fixed, Clear View
Mount it where it can see the whole build for the entire project. A stable position gives the smoothest result.

What Your Photos Become

A real construction project. Daily photos from a single camera, turned into an edited time-lapse video.

Before You Start

Which cameras work with LapseCloud?

Any IP camera with scheduled FTP upload support, with a 4MP minimum. We recommend the Reolink 12MP. Check your camera manual or settings for an "FTP upload" option.

How long does setup take?

Under two hours in most cases. You configure the camera with our FTP details and a step by step guide. No technician visit is required.

What if the site has no fixed internet?

A 4G router is enough. The camera needs a power source and a connection that can reach our servers.

Where should I mount the camera?

Pick a fixed point with a clear view of the whole build, high enough to see across the site, with a stable mount and a power source. A steady position for the whole project gives the smoothest time-lapse.

How does the 14-day free trial work?

No credit card required. You get full access to the portal for 14 days on the Starter plan, and you can upgrade or cancel anytime afterward.

Who edits the time-lapse videos?

A real editor, not an automated render. Every monthly time-lapse is colour graded, lens corrected and smoothed for flicker, so it looks cinematic instead of like a raw camera feed.
