EarthCam, the leader in live camera technology, content and services, today unveiled its eighth-generation integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud®, a portfolio of software and services that combines advanced technology, a builders network and predictive insights for construction teams, coinciding with Autodesk University. EarthCam has improved speed and precision for its unique alignment of live video streams with BIM models and digital twins, enabling VDC (virtual design & construction) teams to make accurate decisions, and reduce costly errors during project execution.
EarthCam continues to expand its integrations with Autodesk®, and has increased capabilities for teams to deliver visual data into more relevant areas. Project teams utilizing Autodesk Build and Autodesk Docs can incorporate valuable real-time imagery and data from EarthCam cameras into their projects.
Users can now also benefit from EarthCam Air Health, which combines high quality images with a RESET® Air Index certified sensor to report on environmental conditions and pollutants for interior projects. Automated alerts – as Autodesk Build Issues – prompt users to take corrective action for potentially hazardous dust or chemicals, while the live camera is used to confirm that PPE (personal protective equipment) is appropriate for the conditions. Permanent records can be maintained in Autodesk Docs that jobsite temperature and humidity levels complied with material application guidelines, and that low VOC materials were implemented as specified.
“Ensuring field worker safety is critical,” said James Cook – director of industry & technology partnerships at Autodesk. “Integrating EarthCam Air Health with Autodesk Construction Cloud helps project managers protect the safety and security of workers onsite.”
These new features, along with EarthCam’s live-streaming video, AI analytics and 4K time-lapse movies are fully embeddable into Autodesk Build Insights or BIM 360 Project Home dashboards, making EarthCam’s advanced functionalities more accessible to users directly within their Autodesk Construction Cloud environment.
EarthCam’s Control Center has long been the software of choice among industry leaders for smart project documentation, promotion, safety and security. EarthCam provides camera rentals, professional installation and AI analytics to make construction project management more efficient with powerful visual data. Mobile apps provide convenient access to all visual information from the field.
