A site without construction camera means you loose time & money
Lost time: A single site visit can cost half a day in travel and coordination. With a live feed and a searchable image archive, most check-ins happen from your desk.
Missing evidence: When a claim lands, timestamped images are needed for evidence. The global average construction dispute reached USD 54.26 million in 2024 (Arcadis). A date-stamped record of who did what and when turns a long dispute into a two-minute lookup.
No reports to win the next project: Clients and investors want to see progress, not read about it. The same feed that documents your build produces the time-lapse videos and dated snapshots that make updates effortless and impressive.
Your avisec Construction Camera will pay for itself
Stay in control, even if you are miles away from the jobsite
Keep track of your construction progress effortlessly with the avisec Cloud Cockpit. Monitor your site live and remotely while every phase is automatically documented. You’ll always have a clear overview, no matter where you are.
Catch mistakes before they become expensive
High-resolution images let you spot deviations immediately. This allows you to take targeted action, avoid rework, and plan your site visits more efficiently.
The avisec Cloud Cockpit: Full control over who has access to what
A construction project involves many parties who need visual updates: the owner wants weekly progress-reports. The investor needs a clean, branded view. The subcontractor only needs their section. And your marketing team wants the best shots, but without workers’ faces.
That’s why we have built a system that allows you to give different permissions to each user you add. You are completely flexible in your user-management. This is unique on the market.
Publish images without breaching privacy-laws
The avisec Privacy Protector removes people and vehicles from your published images completely. It is not pixelation and it is not AI guesswork: a deterministic frame-comparison algorithm compares successive frames and removes anything that moves, leaving a clean image of the site itself.

The wrong choice leads to unnecessary expenses
The wrong rent-or-buy decision is expensive either way:
- You have dozens of projects lined up and need a camera for every one: Renting a construction camera will accumulate more costs than necessary. Better buy once and use as long and often as you want without additional hardware costs.
- You have a one-time 6-month project: Buying the camera means unnecessary investment cost and hardware that you need to store. Better rent one and get exactly what you need for the lowest price possible.
Your quick decision guide: Rent or buy
Find out what makes sense financially
We offer the option to buy for maximum flexibility
Most construction-camera providers only offer rental options. avisec is one of the few providers where buying a construction camera outright is an option. Buy starting from CHF 1,270, including mounting hardware and provisioning.
For recurring builders and multi-site contractors, ownership is usually cheaper past roughly 16 months and removes the monthly rental line entirely. During downtimes you pay nothing.
- Own the hardware and reuse it across unlimited projects
- Start by renting to test the setup, then buy without a hitch
- Either way, the same Cloud Cockpit runs the camera
