Do I need mains power or internet on site?

No. The camera runs on a solar panel and transmits over 4G with a data SIM included in the price. You mount it where the site needs it, even if not a single cable has been run yet.

What does the price per camera include?

Everything: the 4G solar camera, the data SIM, 24/7 live view with alerts, the WhatsApp assistant, the daily photo record, the edited final timelapse video and shipping the hardware to your office. There are no separate costs.

Half-yearly in advance, in US dollars. Published prices exclude VAT.

What is the minimum coverage? And if the build runs long?

The minimum coverage is 12 months. If the build runs longer, you renew by half-year at the same price, right through to handover.

How many cameras do I need?

One camera covers one face of the site. Most projects use 2: one on the front and one on the rear elevation. You can put your own combination together in the calculator.

Can I move the camera as the build progresses?

Whenever you want, and you do not depend on us. You can take it down and mount it somewhere else with no paperwork, and you can also re-frame it remotely with PTZ from the app itself: pan, tilt and zoom without leaving the office.

Can I download the timelapse before the build is finished?

Whenever you want, as many times as you want. In the app you pick the period (today, this week, this month or the whole build) and it is generated from what is already recorded, ready to download. You can also grab single photos from any day. The edited final video is separate and is delivered at handover.

Does the camera have audio?

Yes, its own microphone and speaker. From the app you can hear what is happening on site and talk through the speaker: flag something, call someone over, or simply make it clear that you are watching.

When do I get the timelapse video?

At the end of your coverage: we deliver the edited final video of the whole build, from groundbreaking to handover. It is included in the price.

What if it is not for me?

You have a 30-day guarantee from activation: if it does not work for you, we refund 100% of what you paid. No questions, no forms, no fine print.

About us

About Urbania CAM

Urbania CAM is the construction monitoring service by Urbania, an Argentine proptech company founded in March 2025 in Rosario.

What Urbania does

Urbania digitises the sale and follow-up of real estate developments. The first product was 3D showrooms: interactive walkthroughs where a buyer picks a unit, sees it from the inside and checks its sales status before the building exists. Developers and builders in Argentina, Mexico, Uruguay and the Dominican Republic work on that platform today.

Urbania CAM is the other half of the same problem. Selling off-plan means promising something that is not there yet, and there had to be a way to show that the build is progressing without someone driving to the site with a phone.

Where this product comes from

From a request that kept coming back. The same developers showing a unit in 3D wanted to show the actual site, and site management wanted to stop arguing about progress against loose, undated photos.

Urbania CAM is a solar-powered 4G camera installed on site plus an application to watch it live, talk through its speaker, request reports over WhatsApp and download a timelapse whenever you want. It runs with no mains power and no internet on the premises, which is the real condition of almost any site during its first year.

The company

Urbania was founded in March 2025 in Rosario, province of Santa Fe, Argentina, by Ignacio Apestegui, Tomás Carrari and Juan Cruz Cáceres. The team is ten people full time and around thirty collaborators.

Urbania’s work has been covered by Forbes Argentina, EmpreHouse, Punto Biz, El Ciudadano, La Capital, Minuto Constructivo and Innovación Digital 360.
