No power supply, no internet connection, no waiting: Arclap's self-sufficient solar construction camera works from day one – even where your site has no infrastructure yet. A solar panel and high-capacity battery provide the energy; 4G/LTE streams live view and AI timelapse straight into the Arclap platform. Installed by us, live in under one hour.
Why self-sufficient?
- Ready immediately: documenting from excavation, before site power exists.
- No site power needed: solar panel + battery buffer, sized for Swiss winters.
- No internet needed: dedicated 4G/LTE with Swiss SIM – no WiFi, no network drop.
- Mobile: repositioned in minutes as the build progresses.
- Full platform: AI timelapse, automated documentation and 24/7 security monitoring, identical to fixed installations.

Typical deployments
Civil engineering and infrastructure without grid access, early phases before site power, remote locations (energy and alpine projects), temporary yards, and large sites with changing viewpoints.
Rent or buy
Available monthly or as a purchase – like every Arclap system with installation, SIM, hosting and support from one partner. Price it in 2 minutes in the configurator or request an offer.
Does it really run without any power?
Yes – solar panel plus battery power the system entirely; a grid connection is not required.
Does the camera need internet or WiFi?
No. It uses its own 4G/LTE link with a Swiss SIM, independent of site IT.
Is Swiss winter sun enough?
The system is sized for weak winter sun; the battery bridges several days without direct sunlight.
Can it be moved during the project?
Yes, the mobile setup is operational at a new spot within minutes.
