TimeLaps Services — Camera Specifications
What we put on your site
Every camera we deploy is built specifically for Saudi Arabia’s conditions — heat, dust, and sites that run around the clock. Here’s a straightforward breakdown of the hardware, software, and infrastructure behind each installation.
Two camera options — both built for professional-grade output
We offer two Canon DSLR configurations. The right one depends on your site footprint, how far the key action is from the camera position, and how much detail your reporting needs.
24.3 Megapixel
50 Megapixel
The 50MP option is the better fit for large-scale giga-projects, infrastructure work, or any site where you need to zoom in on a specific zone without losing detail. For most standard commercial and residential sites, the 24MP performs well at a lower cost.

You can check in on your site from anywhere
The system connects over 4G/LTE and uploads directly to our cloud platform. Admins, project managers, and client stakeholders all get their own login with appropriate permissions.
Live remote access
Log in anytime to check the latest image or adjust camera settings remotely — no site visit needed.
4-way data storage
Images are stored across local SD, NAS, our cloud server, and an optional client-side backup location.
Instant image library
Every photo is indexed by timestamp. Search by date, browse by week, or jump to a specific day.
Photos that are useful beyond the timelapse
The same high-resolution captures used for timelapse video can be pulled independently for site reports, board presentations, or client updates — without any extra effort on your end.
Before / after comparisons
Drag-to-compare any two dates to show how much has changed. Useful for milestones and handovers.
Snapshot galleries
Automatically organised image archives, browseable by month, phase, or custom tag.
Side-by-side view
Compare any two camera angles or time periods side by side — works well for stakeholder meetings.
Solar-powered, so location is never a constraint
Every system runs on mono-crystalline solar panels with an integrated battery — no mains power required. The panels charge in 4–6 hours of direct sun, and the battery reserve keeps the system running for up to 7 days with no sunlight at all — which means even extended overcast periods or dust storms won’t interrupt your capture.
Panel construction
- Aluminium frame
- Tempered glass
- Back sheet / back glass
- Colour layer
- Mono-crystalline solar cells
- Encapsulant
