How VisionHub handles it
Live View 24/7

A construction time-lapse is a video that compresses months of construction into seconds, using photos taken at fixed intervals. It can be commissioned from a video production company or generated from a platform such as VisionHub. The two options meet different needs, and they are often combined.
What each model offers
A time-lapse production company handles the whole commission: it installs a camera, collects the images during the works and delivers one or more edited videos at the end or at agreed milestones. Its strength is the editing and storytelling of the final video.
VisionHub is an in-house software platform in which time-lapse is one module among several. While the works are under way, the team:
- watches the site live 24/7 in up to 4K, from the browser or a phone;
- browses all the images online, with a date filter;
- receives an automatic monthly summary and requests custom videos for whatever date range it needs;
- gets videos that are stabilised, flicker-free, colour-corrected and with faulty images discarded;
- adds logos, music and title cards, and exports for reports or social media.
Price
On VisionHub, time-lapse is a module with a monthly fee that includes 500 GB of storage (about 200,000 photos), and the 4G camera can also be rented by the month, though you don't have to: any IP or network-connected camera can be connected using standard protocols. Check the current price in the pricing calculator. A production company quotes each commission based on duration, number of cameras and editing.
When each one fits
If you only need a high-production final video for a presentation, a production company is a good option. If you also want to see the site every day, share it with the developer and the site supervision team, and produce videos whenever marketing asks for them, a platform covers that without new commissions. For bespoke productions (drone, photography, virtual tours), VisionHub schedules them from the Media module and specialist partners carry them out.
For your project
If your site calls for video production, VisionHub can provide a production company tailored to your needs through specialist partners.
- Video production matched to each site, by specialist partners.
- The footage sits next to the platform's live view, images and time-lapses.
For agencies
If you are a production company or an agency, the platform gives you exclusive tools to work with your clients.
- Manage each client's content independently.
- All of each client's deliverables in one place.
