24MP Nikon Box Construction Cameras
The floor area for New Parliament Building construction is about 16,125 m2.

Regular to wide-angle lenses are used to capture the site from various distances. Inbuilt wifi-based cameras help easy uploading of images without the need for a separate internet infrastructure at the site.
180 Degree Cameras
At a few points, the camera needs to be placed at the center of the site & the site team requested to cover the maximum possible area. In such cases, OpticVyu has deployed its 180° wide-angle cameras. The camera produces pleasing results by capturing panoramic images of the site covering the ongoing construction, old parliament building & Rashtrapati Bhawan in one frame.
Advance Time-lapse Editing
Poor weather or other unfavorable conditions can hinder the default time-lapse video. To provide top-notch results, OpticVyu has enabled advanced time-lapse features for the project allowing any user to create its own advanced time-lapse without any manual intervention. Advanced time-lapse creation can help:
- to remove unwanted clip parts,
- to remove blurry, dark, or brights images,
- to stabilize the video,
- to add information like milestones achieved,
- to merge multiple cameras in one frame.
Access to Various Departments & Teams
Every construction project’s timely completion can be achieved with effective team coordination & collaboration.
