One of the biggest myths about construction jobsite camera is the 24/7 real time monitoring IP camera is enough. The real time video is quite a good fit for something emergency or urgent while the FILE SIZE of these 24/7 real time monitoring camera is something you should pay attention to.
It is easy to receive a 200MB per day from a normal video file( 1080p). It’s just one camera. Think about how many cameras you possess at the jobsite. It is getting less expensive since emerging cloud storage services, still a big expense in 12 month( 18 months for most of the construction project), though.
Fat video files are obsolete since
Too big to store
Too slow to search or locate the clips you need
Too clumsy to handle so let it be
Tons of your video files_ simply too hard to deal with
At the end of day, The jobsite documentation is just too hard to be true.

It’s fair to say that people do not really care about the energy bills of these two Bulbs (they are LED, aren’t they?). What matters are these things:
(1) The simplest way to secure your home-> Home security: Use remote control house lights, they are very cost effective compared to Security Cameras setups.
Using the included Wink HUB, these two GE Link light bulbs connect to the Wink app on your mobile device, so you can control them from anywhere. Remotely operated individual lights or groups, sync them with other smart products, dim or highlight for the perfect setting, and automate lighting to fit your schedule. They use 80% less power than traditional bulbs, making them energy efficient.
(2) The Wink is likely the very 1st gadget in your smart home: And it’s only $49.99 now at Home Depot.
Checking on the apps while you are away is a great start for the entire Smart Home. It probably won’t, on the other hand, include your refrigerator and it won’t include everything( fitness, health, home security, home appliances) in one app.
Smart Refrigerator is not now among all Smart Home initiatives
THE SMART HOME IS BEING BUILT UP PIECE BY PIECE
Most people believe Home security is among a priority when a home is purchased. The surveys show security is by far the top reason why people want a Smart Home (energy saving is the 2nd) and they want immediatly after the other.
Home Security is the highest priority in Smart Home
The Brinno Camera is well known for its simplicity in DIY installations and setup. You may starts with this FRONT DOOR
Capacity is the maximum electric output solar panels can produce under specific conditions.
Generation is the amount of electricity panel produce over a specific period of time.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — According to the latest “Energy Infrastructure Update” report from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Office of Energy Projects, renewable energy sources (i.e., biomass, geothermal, solar, water, wind) accounted for 24.93 percent of all new domestic electrical generating capacity installed in the first six months of 2013 for a total of 2,144 MW. That is more than that provided thus far this year by coal (1,579 MW – 18.36 percent), oil (26 MW – 0.30 percent), and nuclear power (0 MW – 0.00 percent) combined.
The difference between the Capacity and the actual electricity Generation could be huge. Normally what you pay is not what you get especially in the real world. The solar capacity is enormous (2,144 MW) but the real electricity generation is only 3.4 percent. It’s a big gap here (24.93% Capacity—->3.4% Generation).

There are many variables and conditions you should take care of. Some of them are factory spec which you can do nothing about. The others, however, can be documented, measured and making improvements from your living areas. Some of the key performance indicators are:
Choosing the right panels —-The optimum operating temperature of the panels fitting with your living weather temperature statistics.
The endurance of the panel supporting structure and the connecting cable ( remember this a 30yr pay back period, Panels are OK but the Structure could be very weak if the Installer is reducing cost…)
Now for the first time, You can see the Working on Progress of your panels either in the Installation process or the solar generation period
Installations, Again, this may have huge impact on the durability of the whole system ( the built-Compliance and the correct installation procedures)
As said, The true electricity generation can be affected easily such the the moving clouds

That will be even cooler if putting on top of your caravan
Once again, Your local solar panel installers are crucial in your real electricity generation. the Construction camera from Brinno is also recommended in these long term observation and statistics

Thoughts from a belcany on the Construction camera
The #1 thinking is “Is it really necessary to use your expensive DSLR at the construction site ?
The purchase cost or rental cost is one thing. What really matters is the DSLR complicated camera setups, settings for time lapse video and it also difficult to ask the job site workers to take over. So you may foot the service company bills monthly or try to train your job site people to operate the DSLR.
Learned about the limited Shutter life of DSLR? It seems that the average statistic shutter life is around 100,000 shots. 100k shots is probably a big number for ordinary photo shots but it can be “toasted” so easily by the time lapse mode. Here is a good example: taking photos every 1 min then 1×60 min x24 hrs=1,440 shots per Day, Your DSLR will just burst in 69.44 days (100,000 divided by 1,440) which is only TWO Months!
My advice is
Try not to use DSLR for Construction camera recording. It’s too expensive to pay the service companies , too hard for the job site workers to use and the DSLR life is Two months only.
Lesson learned: Will you use your F-22 ( unit cost: USD 150M) to fight against the terrorists who carry AK 47?
2nd thinking: Is there any other inexpensive and easy to use solutions for the Construction job site workers?
There are some rugged and Point of View cameras like GoPro or Brinno to be a easier ways for the construction sites. These POVs are all features like
Rugged with water proof cases
Wide angel lens (>120 degrees, Field of View)
Default external DC power input ( ensure long term shooting)
Time lapse video Photography ( you can set up the camera by different Time intervals, say taking one photo every 1 minute )
The Brinno construction camera also featuring
Rugged with water proof case ( It’s not water proof while DC-IN if using GoPro)
“Timer” and ” Low light recording” ( the camera sleeps at night time)providing much more usefule time slots for you
“Instant Video” and “Post Free“
Truly “WEEKS” or “MONTHS” of battery ( GoPro and the rest of camcorders —“Minutes” or “Hours” )
This review is from: Brinno TLC200 Pro HDR Time Lapse Video Camera (Electronics)
This is a great product. I’ve always wanted to do time lapse, but never wanted to get into all the mechanics of it. Who wants to tie up an expensive camera and risk it getting damaged or “permanently relocated?” Brinno makes time lapse stupid easy. It is almost a miracle in the palm of your hand. I read the manual, set up the camera and did a great first video of carpet being installed in my game room. Here’s all it takes: Position the camera, select the capture interval, turn the camera on, record the event, turn it off, let the Brinno do its thing (image processing), pop out the flash card, slip it in the computer. iPhoto loads it — BOOM! You’ve got a time lapse movie. It saves as an AVI, but when you load it into quick time (as in play it in quick time) it automatically gets converted into a .mov. It’s that easy. No assembling in post (as with the GOPRO unit). Seriously, this thing makes time lapse as easy as taking a snap shot. Image quality is very good. Size is shockingly small — in the palm of your hand. Light weight. I was even pleased with the packaging — rivals that of apple products. This is truly a user friendly device. Buy it and enjoy it.
