Online cameras for construction machinery and sites

What management gains

A wide field of view shows the queue of tipper trucks, how busy the loading area is, machines moving about and changes across the site. Managers get context for the reports and messages coming in from the shift.

The archive lets you pin down the sequence of visible actions and compare it with waybills and GPS data. A camera does not explain the reasons for downtime or the technical condition of a machine.

Existing cameras

An accessible RTSP stream connects to rtsp.me without having to replace your recorder. H.264 and H.265 are supported by most common camera models.

Outdoors, choose suitable ingress protection, temperature rating and mounting. Install the camera clear of the paths machines take and out of hazardous areas, without obstructing the operators' view.

Five steps to connect

Choose a safe wide field of view and decide who owns access.

1. Create an account on rtsp.me.
2. Obtain the camera's RTSP address.
3. Add the site, the area and a clear name.
4. Set up the archive, alerts, password and domain.
5. Share the link with staff or embed the HTML player.

Check the image in dust, rain and working light levels.

Sites and areas

Practical use cases:

• quarries and loading faces;
• earthworks and road works;
• fleets and machinery parking areas;
• entrances and wheel washes;
• refuelling and servicing areas as a wide shot;
• aggregate stockpiles;
• temporary construction sites;
• remote contractor depots.

A camera is not used in place of a banksman, radio communication or the established traffic management plan.

Several sites

Consistent camera names help you move quickly from a site to a working area. A manager can compare how busy each looks, then confirm the details with the dispatcher and in the telematics.

Internal streams are kept private. Public embedding is acceptable only for a specifically approved panoramic field of view with no sensitive detail.

Archive and monitoring

The cloud archive lets you review a chosen period of work and compare what you see with the work order, the GPS track and the shift log. The retention period is set according to operational need.

rtsp.me notifies you when a camera signal is lost. Technical staff then check the power supply, the network and the equipment on site.

Safety and limitations

Mounts and cabling are not placed in hazardous areas. Documents, dispatch system screens and protected areas are kept out of frame, and archive access is restricted.

Video does not replace GPS telematics, onboard diagnostics, pre-shift inspections, sensors, alarms, operating procedures, machine operators or banksmen. An image is never grounds for permitting start-up, movement or work in a hazardous area.
