Question 1

How does BuildReplay's construction timelapse camera work?

Accepted Answer

You purchase the BuildReplay solar 4G camera outright ($3,990 kit + $790 commissioning), then pay a monthly service fee from $669/mo. The camera is fully solar-powered and 4G connected — no mains power or Wi-Fi needed. At project end, we deliver a cinematic 4K timelapse film within 48 hours. A buy-back programme returns up to 40% of the kit price at the end of your term.

Question 2

Do I own the timelapse camera?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you own the BuildReplay camera from the moment it's commissioned. Buy-back is included by default at the end of your service term at a guaranteed price fixed at signing (40% for 3-month, 28% for 6-month, 18% for 12-month plan). You can opt out to keep the camera.

Question 3

How quickly can BuildReplay deploy a camera on site?

Accepted Answer

We aim for 48 hours from contract signing. The camera is fully solar-powered and 4G connected, so there's no electrician or infrastructure required — it can be installed anywhere with mobile coverage.
