Transparent Pricing at C-SITE
The price of a time-lapse video is always tailored to the project. It is determined by a combination of factors that together make up the total cost. At C-SITE, we work with a
A transparent pricing model based on camera weeks, so you can make an accurate estimate in advance.
In this article, we explain the four factors that determine pricing and show how our cumulative weekly pricing system works to your advantage.
Depending on the size of the site and the purpose of the footage—project monitoring, communication, or both—we’ll work with you to determine the ideal number of cameras. Often, a single camera in a well-chosen position is sufficient to provide a clear overview of the entire project. For larger sites or projects with multiple construction zones, additional cameras can offer added value.
The more cameras you use, the more camera weeks you accumulate, and the lower the weekly rate per camera becomes.
C-SITE works on projects of all sizes: from a weekend activity, such as sliding a tunnel segment into place, to a construction project spanning several years. The weekly rate decreases as the total number of camera weeks increases—so a long-term project costs less per week than a short-term assignment. We also provide customized pricing for projects lasting just a few days.
C-SITE cameras can be powered by mains electricity or solar power. Both options have their advantages:
• Mains power: easy to install and reliable, ideal when power is already available on the job site
• Solar panel: higher weekly cost, but completely independent of the site’s infrastructure—perfect for remote locations or at the start of a project when utility connections aren’t yet available.
The location of your construction project affects the installation cost. C-SITE operates in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Germany. Projects in hard-to-reach or remote locations may incur higher travel costs.
The camera systems are plug-and-play and come with remote support from our specialists, so you can also choose to install the camera yourself. We’ll ship it to your job site, and you’ll have access to the footage immediately after installation.
What makes our pricing model unique is that we use cumulative camera weeks. In other words, the total number of camera weeks (number of cameras × number of weeks) determines your rate category—regardless of how those weeks are structured.
For example: 2 cameras for 1 year = 104 camera weeks, and 1 camera for 2 years = 104 camera weeks. Both fall into the same price category and are charged the same weekly rate per camera.
This system is fair and flexible: whether you have a large project with many cameras or a single long-term project with one camera, you'll never pay more than necessary.
To illustrate: this is how the sliding scale works in practice.
