Why Remote Monitoring is Essential for Every Jobsite

Let’s face it — you can’t be on the jobsite 24/7.

While much of the country is back to pre-pandemic construction activity, the remote working challenges presented by COVID-19 aren’t unique situations. Whether it’s due to a crisis, other commitments, or commuting back and forth, project managers need a way to ensure projects run smoothly and are delivered according to plan, even when they can’t be on site.

It’s physically impossible to be in two places at once, but a visual data solution can provide quick visual access to job sites from anywhere. Using high definition time-lapse photography and live video streaming, construction camera systems provide the remote monitoring tools teams need to keep projects on track.

Here’s how visual data systems can help you take remote control of your job site.

Monitor performance and manage productivity from all your devices

Pull up current footage of your jobsite on your laptop, tablet, phone or computer. Real-time visual data lets you see if deliveries have arrived on time, who’s on-site, and if progress is following expectations.

Proactively mitigate risk and avoid costly rework with an unbiased record

Confirm work is completed according to code with an unbiased history of what steps were taken on the jobsite. Your camera system records the project’s past progress in detail so you can see if something was installed correctly. It’s a simple way to isolate specific parts of the job site and thoroughly review what happens.

Clearly communicate project status with all team members in seconds

Bring the project to the people instead of bringing more people to the project by sharing real-time visuals with the team. The best remote monitoring systems include an intuitive interface that gives you more control over your job site and adds tools for clear communication. With the right system, you’ll have the ability to schedule routine email updates, share videos in just a click, and show everyone what progress has been made in seconds.

Maintain jobsite safety and regulatory compliance using detailed visuals

Ensure you have a safe working environment in place with a remote oversight tool. Clear, high-resolution images, live video, and optical zoom features lets you quickly see that activity on the jobsite is up to industry standards.

Prioritize your time and resources with a high-level view of the site

Streamline your day with a construction camera system so you can focus on what matters most. Quickly view which areas of your jobsite need more attention to stay on target. Use optical zoom to look back and ensure materials were used according to what was submitted on paper. And save on travel costs by viewing your site at any time on any device. Your system can help you take care of the details that usually cost you hours.
