Reduce Risk with Cameras
Construction projects involve significant risk: delays, quality issues, disputes. Cameras provide the visibility and documentation that help you manage these risks.
Risks Cameras Help Manage
Schedule Risk
See actual progress daily. Detect delays early, not at milestone meetings.
Quality Risk
Visual record of work as it's done. Spot issues before they're covered up.
Fraud Risk
Verify work claims match reality. Reduce progress payment risk.
Documentation Risk
Automatic records protect against 'he said, she said' disputes.
How Owners Typically Use Cameras
The Insurance Analogy
Think of camera documentation like insurance. You pay a small regular cost (€200-300/month) against risks that could cost tens or hundreds of thousands. Most projects never need the documentation for major claims—but those that do are very glad they have it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does camera visibility reduce risk?
Visibility creates accountability. When contractors know they're being observed, behavior often improves. More importantly, you catch problems early—a delay visible at week 3 is easier to address than one discovered at month 6.
Isn't this just about trust?
It's about verification. 'Trust but verify' is a sound principle. Good contractors welcome cameras because it proves their work. Cameras protect honest contractors as much as they catch problematic ones.
What if I already have a good project manager?
Even good PMs benefit from camera support. It reduces their site visit burden, helps them manage multiple projects, and provides documentation that protects everyone. Cameras augment good management, not replace it.
Is the cost worth it for risk reduction?
Consider the cost of one problem. A €20,000 delay claim, a €50,000 defect, a €100,000 dispute—any one of these exceeds years of camera costs. The camera is insurance against risks you hope never materialize.
