The Challenge
When HGC Construction began evaluating technology to support its projects, the team had a clear set of requirements. They needed cameras that could reliably capture high-quality visuals for time-lapse videos, provide the site team with live monitoring capabilities, and offer security coverage without driving up project costs. Many construction camera systems on the market were powerful but came with a price tag that was hard to justify for every project.
HGC was also thinking long-term. With several projects running simultaneously and more on the horizon, they wanted a scalable solution they could replicate across multiple sites without breaking their budget. The cameras needed to be easy to deploy, cost-effective, and versatile enough to handle time-lapse, live feed, and jobsite visibility in one package.
The Solution
After exploring their options, HGC Construction selected TrueLook’s 2K IR Fixed Cameras, an affordable yet powerful solution that checked every box. They purchased two units, along with solar packages and pole mounts, which allowed the cameras to be set up quickly and run independently without the need for permanent power infrastructure.
Unlike higher-cost systems, the 2K IR Fixed Cameras gave HGC exactly what they needed: clear visuals for progress documentation, built-in security features, and a reliable live feed for jobsite monitoring, without unnecessary extras that would inflate the budget.
"From Day 1, the TrueLook team has been fantastic to work with. We bought 2 of the 2K IR Fixed Cameras with the solar package and a pole mount, to be used for time-lapse purposes and the quality has been fantastic. They also offer security services and a live feed which has been an added value for the site team."

The Results
The results quickly validated HGC’s decision. The cameras proved to be the perfect middle ground: affordable enough to scale across multiple projects, but powerful enough to deliver the quality and functionality the team needed. The time-lapse footage has become a compelling way to communicate progress with clients, while the live feed has given project managers and contractors a real-time view of work happening on site.
“This not only is great for sharing with the client but it gives a way to go back and review progress with contractors and see the project from an ariel view.” – Daniel Bonacci, Project Manager
By choosing TrueLook’s 2K IR Fixed Cameras, HGC not only saved money but also equipped their team with a tool that adds daily value to their workflow.
The cameras have performed so well that HGC now plans to carry them forward to multiple future projects. As the team put it: “We have been super happy with this product and look forward to carrying it on to our next project.”
With the right balance of affordability and performance, the 2K IR Fixed Cameras have become a trusted part of HGC’s construction toolkit.
