For over a decade, CamDo has been at the forefront of camera innovation, developing low-power electronics at a fraction of the cost. Our technology helped capture everything from NASA rockets to missile testing with the Navy, the International Space Station, and Google Street View cars.
But our mission has always been the same: to help businesses capture difficult footage with a simple workflow.
A Vision to Bring the Viewer Closer to the Source
When we turned our focus to construction time-lapse in 2018, we saw an industry still relying on outdated, expensive, and complex solutions. Builders and photographers struggled with cumbersome hardware, SD card and battery swaps, and some solutions didn’t connect to the cloud! There was no simple, affordable way to capture and analyze jobsite data effortlessly.
We knew we could change that.
Our executive team has deep roots in construction, having worked as engineers and developers in the field. This firsthand experience allowed us to design both the hardware and AI platform with real industry needs in mind—not just for capturing beautiful time-lapse footage, but also for helping teams work smarter, not harder.
That’s why we built DataLens, the first AI-powered 4K time-lapse camera designed for construction professionals—delivering effortless jobsite monitoring, automated AI insights, and progress tracking.
Why We Built DataLens: Solving Real Pain Points
Time-lapse has been too complex and too expensive for too long.
Traditional time-lapse systems require:
❌ Expensive hardware that costs thousands per jobsite.
❌ Manual SD card and battery swaps, leading to data gaps and lost footage.
❌ Cumbersome setups that take hours to configure and maintain.
❌ No smart insights, just raw images that require manual review.
Builders, photographers, and AEC field teams needed a cost-effective, plug-and-play solution that could do more than just capture images—it needed to analyze and deliver insights that drive efficiency, safety, and progress tracking.
That’s exactly what DataLens does.
✅ 4K Time-Lapse with Zero Hassle – No complex rigs, no SD cards. Just a plug-and-play system with built-in cellular connectivity for automated cloud uploads.
✅ AI-Powered Jobsite Intelligence – Gain insights into progress, safety risks, and project status automatically with CloudX’s AI-driven platform.
✅ Instant Access Anytime, Anywhere – Monitor your jobsite remotely with the latest site images and AI-powered insights, all available in the cloud.
✅ Under $1,000 – Get AI-powered time-lapse for a fraction of the cost of traditional systems.
AI-Powered Insights: More Than Just a Camera
A camera alone can’t improve jobsite efficiency. That’s why DataLens is powered by CloudX, our AI-driven jobsite intelligence platform.
With AI automation, you get:
🔹 Automated Productivity Tracking – Instantly see where workers and machinery have spent most of their time to avoid falling behind schedule.
🔹 Risk Detection & Safety Monitoring – Automate Safety Triangle observations, identifying hazards before they become costly problems.
🔹 Effortless Remote Monitoring – Reduce the need for manual site walks and historical progress tracking, streamlining stakeholder reporting.
🔹 Smart Reporting – Integrated data and simple reports. Alerts coming soon!
Seamless Integrations with Construction Management Platforms
DataLens doesn’t work in isolation—it integrates with Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) BIM 360, CMiC, and PlanGrid. That means your AI-powered jobsite intelligence automatically connects to the platforms your team already uses, reducing manual data entry and making project management more efficient.
