Case Study Exxel Pacific, Inc. Benefits from Time-Lapse Cameras
The Problem
The construction project manager at Exxel Pacific juggled more than just building projects – he needed to really understand the neighborhood rhythms to schedule deliveries, manage security needs, and keep the neighbors happy, all while facing constant pressure to keep everything running smoothly.
The Solution
Before setting up ground-level cameras, ECAM installed a time-lapse camera on a nearby building to get a complete bird’s-eye view of the site, sharing the live feed on our website for everyone to see. This simple setup takes a photo every ten minutes, building a visual record that helps the team track progress and verify what’s happening at the site day by day.
The Results
The Exxel Pacific team now uses a camera mounted above the site that shows them everything happening in real-time. It also takes photos throughout the day, giving them a clear picture of how traffic flows around the site and how construction is progressing. Anyone involved in the project can check in whenever they want. It’s a simple way to track progress from start to finish.

F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions for the Construction Industry
Who is watching the site?
ECAM’s trained security operators monitor your site from one of our several redundant monitoring centers. Having multiple centers is a major advantage that ensures system redundancy and reliability. In the rare event of a catastrophic failure or emergency at one location, monitoring can seamlessly shift to another monitoring center, so your site is always protected without interruption.
What happens when you see something suspicious on a site?
When an operator detects suspicious activity, an escalation specialist is notified. That specialist conducts a thorough investigation, which may include reviewing additional camera angles and gathering more context to assess the situation. Based on their findings, the appropriate action is taken—whether it’s issuing a live audio warning, notifying onsite guards and site contacts, or dispatching law enforcement.
How do they know what to watch on a site?
Our operators detect activity using two key methods:
Alarms triggered by our proprietary software and systems—these alert operators to potential suspicious activity in real time.
Video Guard Tours (VGTs) — as an added layer of protection, operators manually scan through all site cameras several times an hour. This helps ensure nothing is missed.
What if I need video footage to be reviewed?
Our dedicated video review team handles that for you. We know your time is valuable, so instead of spending hours searching through footage, you can simply submit a request and let our experts locate and review the video for you.
