Do I really need a site power connection?

No. If 230 V is available, that is the simplest case. If there is no connection, the self-sufficient solar solution takes over — it works completely independently of the power grid.

What happens without a power connection?

Then the solar camera comes into play: a solar panel plus a buffer battery, together with LTE transmission. Especially in the early construction phase out in the open field, this is the ideal solution.

Yes. The LTE data connection is included in the basic package — no separate SIM card, no Wi-Fi, no setup. The camera transmits its images to the BauTV+ portal on its own.

Which mounting solution suits my construction site?

From the 1 m short mast through mobile 8 m masts and 10 m masts on the site facilities to the 15–20 m mast or crane mounting — we recommend the right option based on location, field of view and project size.

Can I install a simple system myself?

Yes. Simple 230 V systems on roofs or containers can be installed by yourself — pre-configured and ready to operate within minutes. Find out more on the For small to large projects page.

Power? No power? the right power supply.

Whether site power, no power at all or an existing line: BauTV+ works with 230 V, LTE and self-sufficient solar solutions. We recommend the right supply depending on the location — and the right mounting to go with it.

Power & connectivity

Four routes —one result: images in the portal

We clarify power and data connectivity before installation — you don't have to take care of anything.

Standard

230 V mains connection

The ideal case: site power is available. The camera is connected and delivers images from day one — no additional technology required.
Self-sufficient

Solar solution

No power on site? The self-sufficient solar camera works independently of the grid — for construction sites before utilities are in place.
Mobile network

LTE included

The LTE data connection is included in the basic package. No site-office Wi-Fi, no separate SIM card, no setup required.
Landline

DSL, where available

If an internet line is already available on site, the camera can use it — a sensible option for existing buildings or long project durations.

Self-sufficient without the grid

The solar camera works before site power arrives.

Especially in the early project phase, utilities are often not yet in place — yet this is exactly when documentation is most valuable: site clearance, earthworks, foundations. The self-sufficient solar solution delivers images to the BauTV+ portal from day one.

Independent of the power grid — solar panel plus battery buffer
LTE transmission straight to the portal, no cabling
Relocatable — if the site moves on, the camera moves with it
Advice included: we check whether your site is suitable for solar
