Forget About the Big Picture, Think About the Camera
Sometimes, wandering through the web, �one comes across great wisdom.
To whoever the creator of this was, thank you.
So true.
Getting the Most out of Construction Site CCTV cameras
When most people see CCTV cameras, the first thing they think of is security, but with the right tools in the hands of the right people, there�s so much more that can be done.
Project Management
Good project management means good communication. Getting the necessary information to the right people at the right time. The old saying goes �a picture is a thousand words� � so why not use them? With tools like Whatsapp and Email, it�s now so easy to snap a picture and send it � and that includes from your CCTV system.
Modern tools like�Evercam�have these sharing facilities built in that you won�t find on a security-oriented camera system as they tend to be targeted at locking down information.
We�ve all been at a site meeting where time is spent arguing about the state of various tasks or the sequence in which something was done. Now, when everyone has access to the same pictures on their phone, the conversation can move on quicker.
There�s one tool we�re particularly proud of, and that�s �Progress Photos�. This is simply a timed email that goes to a selected group with a high-resolution picture of the site at that moment in time. For many people, that�s all they need � a weekly update of where things have got to, delivered to their inbox on a regular basis. We�ve found this to be particularly useful for the people who spend more time off-site such as senior management, developers, investors and also sub-contractors who just want to be kept in the loop as to how progress is coming along. It�s also been used as a marketing tool to keep future customers informed as to progress.
Marketing
In the last few years, CCTV footage has gone from grainy, blurred images you might see on CrimeStoppers to cinema quality 4k footage indistinguishable from a professional photographers� camera.
This has opened up new uses for these cameras as they�re perfectly designed for the rough, outdoor environment of building sites, especially for long projects that might stretch over several years. �
The first job they can do is time-lapse photography. Even with a regular 4k camera, many of them have features to upload images at a regular interval � after all, that�s all a time-lapse is. Or, you can go one better and use software such as Evercam�s which makes it easy to produce beautiful videos with logos, splash pages, music and annotations.
Timelapse not only tells the whole story of the concert of activity on a building site, but it does it in social media friendly way so that people share the story. Nothing says �we deliver on promises� better than a video of you doing just that.
As most high profile projects now also have BIM models, it�s possible to create high-quality renderings to include in the videos for an extra touch.
It�s not all about time-lapse though, there are many ways to chop & transition images to give regular updates in an enticing engaging way � sometimes just a little-animated gif in an email is enough.
Dispute Avoidance
With so many people, often from different companies, having to work together, the potential for disagreements is high � and they can get expensive, fast!
When there�s a bird�s eye camera that has captured the full video of the event, a lot of potentially expensive disagreements simply never happen. How many loads were actually delivered or taken away? We�ve got the video.
This also comes in handy when managing your relationships with people off-site, a local neighbour who is convinced that the late night noises came from building activity, now it�s quick and easy to provide indisputable proof that it didn�t come from your site.
GDPR & Construction Cameras
With the time that�s in it and all this talk of recording, we better mention GDPR. The rules are pretty simple. You need a good reason to record whatever you are recording (have I given you enough?) you need to tell people what you�re doing (a sign at the entrance is enough) and you need to let them know how to contact you.
Here�s our sign that covers all three of those requirements:

ElixirConfEU 2105: An adventure in 3D printing
I had the good fortune of sharing a hotel with�Hans Robeers�who is working on a very cool Surf Fin Modelling tool, whose webservice is written�in Elixir. Over a few beers we decided to model the Elixir Logo
using his software:�http://hrobeers.github.io/finFoil/
Job nicely done � the logo now existed as a beautiful 3D STL model.�Download it here.
Obviously we had to find a 3D printer and get it done before Hans� lightning talk at 5pm the next day.
A bit of a search on Google, knocking on the wrong doors, some helpful strangers, nice wall art:
� �and finally I got to meet Kamil and his team at�Summer Agency
Kamil did the importing:
Loaded some suspicious white powder into his new machine:
Gave it a pat on the head:
� and Bingo !
With still time for a coffee:
Before presenting to�Jose Valim�and�Jim Freeze. :)

Can you tell us about a project that stands out in your career?
One of my favourite projects was the development of a new university campus at King�s Cross in London with BAM, in which we were transforming an old railway goods yard while preserving heritage buildings. This experience of witnessing London�s transformation remains a highlight for me.
I�ve also had the privilege to work on diverse projects including a major hospital in Perth, Australia, the Olympic Park and Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, and most recently, the Canterbury Riverside project in Kent with Bouygues, where Evercam cameras were used. Each project brought its own set of challenges and learning opportunities, that have enriched my career.

Have you made friends with your customers over time?
Absolutely, I�m glad of the strong friendships I�ve built with many of my clients. For example, I met one of our customers and his family while they were on holiday in Folkestone, where I lived at the time. It's connections like these that enrich my professional experience.

What current project are you excited to be working on?
I'm particularly excited about the project to build SeAH Wind's new monopile factory at Teesworks in the North East of the UK. It's being delivered by our client K2 Construction Management and I have been involved with the project from the very beginning. When completed, it will be the largest monopile factory in the world.
Evercam is capturing the progress of the project using multiple live cameras and weekly drone flights. The scale of the project is impressive, and it's been a significant part of my daily work since construction began in 2022.

Evercam is proud to announce that it has been awarded ISO 27001:2022 certification! Achieving this globally recognised standard is a testament to Evercam�s commitment to protecting our customers' data and the high standards we set ourselves when it comes to cyber security. What makes this achievement even better is that the Evercam platform played a key part of the audit process.

The auditors were very positive about using Evercam�s 360 tool to conduct remote inspections as we learned that remote audits usually rely on webcams or phones. Instead the auditors could inspect our warehouses in different parts of the globe in great detail and at their own pace. It was also very rewarding that they were getting hands-on testing of our platform, as our platform is a critical part of our ISO scope.

According to Zuza Stefa?ska, our ISO Project Lead, �the audit process was rigorous with onsite and remote inspections but we passed with flying colours which was down to the hard work of multiple departments, including our Dev, Ops and HR teams. While the main audit is over, the real work starts now as maintaining the ISO standard involves regular surveillance audits so we have to keep trying to improve what we are doing across the business."
Evercam�s Compliance Officer, Urooj Saeed believes that the main benefit of the ISO 27001:2022 for our customers can be summed up in one word: �Trust - our customer can trust that Evercam takes its responsibilities seriously and its policies, procedures and our product can stand up to� international scrutiny�
The ISO 27001:2022 Certification follows closely on from Evercam being awarded Construction Line Gold Accreditation, the UK�s benchmark for supplier quality in the construction industry.
