What does 'scalable' mean for time-lapse and construction cameras?

Is your time-lapse camera fleet still in the modest single or double digits?

If you have ambitions to grow your time-lapse business and to roll out a time-lapse and site intelligence solution to multiple projects or for multiple clients nationally or even internationally – then what is required?

Growing your business well isn’t just about getting more cameras out in your own geographical area. That’s limited. True growth is being able to deliver those services more widely.

So, what’s stopping you?

Reliable Hardware Minimises Costly Site Visits

Perhaps the reliability of your time-lapse equipment? Do you trust it to perform week after week, month after month, year after year without you having to attend to it? Travelling miles to attend to a faulty camera can wipe out all margin on a job. That’s why providers with less reliable cameras rarely venture beyond their own region. That’s not a truly scalable solution.

The Value of Dedicated Support

Similarly, perhaps you don’t feel you have the support of the camera manufacturer. Do they help you resolve problems? Is their customer service good? Do they answer the phone with ‘live’ support? Do they swap faulty equipment quickly? Send out replacements? Do they support beyond the equipment itself with all manner of related practical industry expertise? If not, then you’re not using a geographically scalable solution.

Predictable Pricing Protects Your Project Margins

Does the camera manufacturer / SaaS provider regularly put their prices up without warning? Do they constantly adjust the ‘tiering’ to force you to up-tier? If so, how can you quote for a job and have the confidence of a reliable ‘margin’? That doesn’t lend itself to real scalability either.

Capture Flexibility Wins High Value Clients

Does your equipment enable you to vary the capture or is it just ‘one size fits all’? What about the client who needs something custom? Requires you to optically zoom? The client that needs real optical quality? Can you meet their needs? If not, that’s not applicable to more discerning clients. So that’s not truly scalable either.
