Long Term Time-lapse Cameras for Hire. Fully Managed Service

Our long term time-lapse systems have been used on everything from construction and demolition sites, through regeneration and landscaping projects, to events and music festivals. The systems can be set up quickly and remain fixed in place for any length of time, from just a few days to many years. Each system is highly configurable and tailored to your individual requirements, and produces stunning 4K images and films. After installation we offer full technical support. If camera locations require adjustment during the project, this can usually be arranged.

What Do We Mean By Long Term Time-lapse?

With long term time-lapse, a member of our team visits your site with a time-lapse system and installs this in a fixed location on your site. As with all of our time-lapse systems, our long term systems are fully bespoke, so wherever your site and whatever your project, we can help. Learn more >

The system remains in place for the duration of the project, whether that is one or two weeks, or many, many years (some of our projects have lasted over a decade). During this time, we provide full technical support, and you have access to our full range of time-lapse tools.

After completion of the project, we edit the footage into a short time-lapse film usually 2-5 minutes in length. Our bespoke editing service allows us to add introductory sequences, company logos, music, commentary, captions, additional filming and/or drone footage and anything else you may require, and means you can be as involved or as hands off as you’d like.

Long Term Time-lapse for Landscaping And Public Realm

Long Term Time-lapse for Regeneration

We have been involved in many regeneration projects over the years, many of which have been transformative for the area and the people who live there. Having a live link to these projects as the work unfolds can be extremely engaging for residents who might be affected by the on-going works, but who will ultimately benefit from the final result, and capturing these life-changing projects for posterity can be particularly important for the people involved in them.
