daily timelapse for energy projects

Daily timelapse for energy projects.

Deploying automatic daily timelapse for energy and renewables construction is a question of camera placement and software, not new hardware. Gobi runs automatic daily timelapse on existing RTSP cameras with a small edge node — here's what that actually looks like.

Takes 2–3 minutes · No credit card required

  • Works with existing RTSP cameras
  • Flat pricing — no per-camera fees
  • Setup typically under 1 hour

Used by: construction sites, municipalities, farms, and multi-site operations.

Built and running in production · No proprietary camera lock-in · Customer owns their data · No long-term contracts

What automatic daily timelapse does for energy and renewables construction

For energy and renewables construction, automatic daily timelapse answers questions you currently can't. Who came on site. When. Which vehicles. What changed in the last 24 hours. The same cameras you already have, made searchable.

A realistic deployment

  • One Gobi edge node per site
  • Existing RTSP cameras pulled in via the local network
  • automatic daily timelapse runs as part of the standard pipeline
  • Outbound-only connection to the cloud
  • Searchable events, plates and snapshots in one dashboard

What limits accuracy

  • Camera angle on the chokepoint
  • Lighting and IR coverage at night
  • Resolution and bitrate of the stream
  • Network reliability on remote sites
Common questions

The five things people ask first.

Will this work with my cameras?

If they expose RTSP on the local network — yes, almost always. Run the compatibility check.

Do I need IT to install it?

No. One small node, plugged into power and the network. Outbound-only — no port forwarding, no VPN, no static IPs.

Is it expensive?

Flat per node, not per camera. Most single-site deployments land between $49 and $199/month. See pricing.

What happens to my data?

You own it. Cameras stay private by default. Data lives in your tenant. Export anytime. Privacy & security overview.

How long does setup take?

A typical single-site deployment is under one hour from node power-on to live dashboard.
