How does the CraneCamera work?
Installation
- Mounted on the jib of a tower crane and powered by it, the camera system is weatherproofed and designed to resist crane vibrations
- Integrates a professional photogrammetric camera, mini-computer and GPS/IMU navigation sensors for remote control.
- Wirelessly connected to the PIX4Dcloud Advanced software
Capturing
- Automatic image capturing during normal crane operation hours thanks to movement sensors and firmware.
- No human intervention, no site disruption. Collection time and frequency are set up remotely.
- Automatic image transfer to PIX4Dcloud Advanced via a 4G connection.
Processing
- Daily planned or on-demand 2D and 3D deliverables.
- Outputs available on the PIX4Dcloud Advanced software to be visualized, measured, annotated and compared with CAD drawings.
- Sharing and download options for seamless integration with other software.

Integrate the 2D and 3D deliverables into your BIM workflows
Visualize project progress
Display your project in 2D and 3D view and quickly verify construction progress without leaving your office.
Facilitate operational planning
React immediately to changes or delays and adapt site planning operations accordingly.
Fully document the project
Keep a permanent daily record of the build and access it at any time from any device or location.
Identify build errors
Overlay your design drawings onto the automatically created 2D rendering, compare the as-built vs as design and avoid costly rework.
Resolve disputes
Go back in time and check what happened. Resolve disputes faster, and easier so you finish your project on time.
Improve collaboration
Instantly access the project data, communicate and share the site progress seamlessly with both teams in the field and subcontractors.

Our customers
More than 50 construction companies have already adopted the Crane Camera solution.
“Pix4D CraneCamera is the safest solution we found so far for capturing aerial imagery to be turned into 2D and 3D. It’s definitely a great alternative to drones for construction projects.”
VDC Manager - The Beck Group
“During our project, we found a misplaced scaffolding that could cause a lot of problems. I cannot imagine how we would discover this error so early without the CraneCamera.”
“Monitoring the change over time, day-to-day on the construction site, is very valuable and this alone justifies why we use this technology.”
Real life use cases
How to avoid construction errors and costly rework
Construction rework negatively impacts budgets, schedules, and productivity. Learn how CraneCamera helps VolkerWessels keep their projects on track.
CraneCamera: maximizing space in a constricted area
Planning and monitoring construction projects in tight urban areas is a challenge. That’s why The Beck Group relies on the CraneCamera.
Using the power of visual documentation in construction
Every construction project inevitably has its challenges. Learn how visual documentation and the CraneCamera not only helped VolkerWessels overcome them but also to comply with a new quality assurance law.
