Frequently Asked Questions

All about Tempus

• Who we are

  Who is Tempus?

  Tempus is a specialist visual-monitoring and timelapse partner for construction, infrastructure and engineering projects across Australia and New Zealand, and beyond. Tempus combines robust long-term camera systems with creative film, drone and photography services to give you accurate project records and beautiful visual stories — from day one to delivery.

  What makes Tempus different?

  We take a precision-driven, partnership-first approach. Every installation is designed around your site conditions, engineering requirements and communication goals. Our systems run reliably for months or years, supported by a proactive team who monitor, troubleshoot, and deliver high-quality imagery for both operational oversight and high-impact storytelling.

  Who do you work with?

  Tempus supports tier-one builders, civil contractors, government agencies, developers, environmental groups and asset owners. If your project needs long-term visual documentation or high-quality media, we will design a tailored solution that scales with you.

   

• What we do

  What services does Tempus offer?

  We deliver end-to-end visual monitoring across four core services:

  Timelapse Systems:
  Long-term, weather-resistant cameras capturing high-resolution images for progress documentation, reporting and project wrap-ups.

  Aerial Services:
  CASA-certified drone capture for progress tracking, site mapping and compelling marketing assets.

  Photography:
  High-resolution architectural and construction photography for reports, tenders and branded communication.

  Videography:
  Monthly updates, milestone videos, interviews, and complete end-of-project storytelling.

  Why is visual monitoring important for construction and infrastructure projects?

  Visual monitoring allows teams to track progress, validate timelines and reduce risk. It creates a reliable historical record for disputes, stakeholder reporting and safety reviews — while also producing powerful marketing outcomes as your project evolves.

  Do your systems work in harsh or remote conditions?

  Yes. Our cameras and power configurations are engineered for long-term operation in tough Australian and New Zealand environments. For specialised scientific or extreme locations, we collaborate with our partners at Envirolapse to support advanced remote deployments.

   

• Where we work

  Where does Tempus operate?

  We service projects across Australia and New Zealand, including metro builds, regional developments and remote industrial sites. Whether your project is in a major city or an isolated location, we deploy safely, efficiently and with full compliance.

  Do you support multi-site or interstate programs?

  Yes — multi-site deployments are one of our strengths. We coordinate scheduling, hardware, data management and reporting across all your locations.

  Do you work internationally?

  International projects can be supported on a case-by-case basis, subject to logistics and local compliance. Contact us to discuss feasibility.

   

• How it works

  What is the setup process for a timelapse system?

  Consultation: We review your project scope, timelines, mounting points and access.

  Technical Design: We specify the optimal camera system, power configuration, and installation method.

  Site Installation: Our technicians install hardware following site safety protocols and engineering requirements.

  Monitoring & Maintenance: We remotely monitor system performance and respond quickly to environmental or site changes.

  Ongoing Capture & Production: We manage imagery, drone footage, and video content — delivering updates at agreed intervals.

  Final Delivery: You receive a complete visual package including timelapse films, media libraries and archival data.

  How long does installation take?

  Most installations take 1–3 hours once site access and inductions are confirmed. More complex or elevated installs may require EWPs, engineered mounts or additional safety steps, which we organise in advance.

  What deliverables will we receive?

  Deliverables can include:
  – High-resolution timelapse sequences
  – Monthly or milestone progress videos
  – Drone photography and aerial films
  – Traditional photography
  – Marketing-ready media assets
  – Final hero film showcasing the entire project

  What happens if the site layout changes?

  Construction sites evolve — and our systems adapt. If cranes shift, scaffolding goes up, hoarding changes or temporary structures block the view, we adjust positioning or schedule supplementary captures to maintain a clean project record.

  Contact Form: https://tempus.camera/contact

  (We aim to respond within one business day!)

  What information should I include in my enquiry?

  For the fastest turnaround, include:
  – Project location
  – Expected timeline
  – Access notes (rooftops, poles, scaffolding, no power, no network, etc.)
  – Type of capture required (timelapse, drone, video, or combined)
  – Key deliverables you need (progress updates, marketing content, archival documentation)
  – Preferred installation date or site induction requirements

  Can you visit the site before installation?

  Yes. We can arrange an in-person visit or virtual site review to confirm the best angles, mounting options and technical setup.
