What construction teams use Gobi for

  • Daily timelapse of progress for owners, lenders and stakeholders

How it works on a jobsite

Gobi runs on a small edge node connected to your jobsite network or cellular router. It pulls in any RTSP-compatible camera — PTZ, fixed bullet, dome, solar trailer-mounted units — and streams motion events into a single dashboard. AI events appear in the log within 5–12 seconds.

Setup typically takes under one hour. No port forwarding, no VPN, no per-camera license fees.

Why crews and owners pick Gobi

  • Flat monthly pricing — add cameras without adding cost
  • Daily progress timelapse generated automatically
  • Searchable history: "Show me every truck on Tuesday"
  • Works with existing IP cameras — no rip-and-replace
  • Public webcam mode for project marketing pages
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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will it work with our solar/cellular trailer cameras?

If the trailer cameras expose an RTSP stream over the local network or VPN, Gobi can ingest them. Many common solar trailer brands do.

Can owners and lenders see the timelapse?

Yes. You can share a stable timelapse URL or embed daily progress images on a project marketing page.

Does Gobi work with my existing cameras?

Yes. If your cameras stream RTSP (most IP cameras and NVRs do), Gobi can usually pull them in without replacing hardware.

Is Gobi priced per camera?

No. Gobi uses flat per-node pricing. You can grow your camera footprint without growing the bill.

How fast do AI events appear?

AI motion events typically appear in the searchable log within 5–12 seconds of being captured.

Do I need port forwarding or special IT setup?

No. The Gobi node creates an outbound connection to the cloud. No inbound ports, no VPN, no static IPs required.

How long does setup take?

A typical single-site deployment is under one hour once the node has internet and the cameras are reachable on the local network.

Want to see this on your cameras?

We can usually tell within a day whether your existing cameras are compatible.
