Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Capture: Evercam brings fixed cameras (fixed, 180 degree wide, PTZ and gate/ANPR types), drone flights and 360 walkthroughs into one platform. Timescapes centers on its own solar, cellular cameras, listed at 21 MP with up to a 99 degree field of view and up to 400 m operating distance, which the vendor says install in under 30 minutes.
  • AI features: Evercam's AI Platform Suite page lists Ask AI (questions answered from project data and visual records), Smart Search (find vehicles, plant or crews in an area of the frame, including on existing site cameras as software only, with PDF/CSV export), Progress Automations (AI summary of visible change between two dates) and 360 object detection, plus Safety Observations and Automated Gate Reports. Timescapes says its AI detects and logs concrete trucks, excavators and personnel to verify daily logs and deliveries.
  • Progress and claims records: both offer timelapse and a visual timeline. Timescapes lists unlimited timelapses for any date range, an automated daily log (weather, personnel, equipment), weather-impact and equipment-uptime tracking, and frames its record around disputes and claims. Evercam lists a visual timeline, BIM vs as-built comparison and scheduled progress emails.
  • Integrations: Evercam's connectors page lists Procore, Autodesk, Voyage Control (gate bookings), Aconex, Bentley iTwin (4D BIM view) and HammerTech (observations). Timescapes lists Procore and Autodesk integrations, BIM overlays and IoT sensor correlation.
  • Security and site access: Evercam sells Gate Report (vehicle logging) and SiteSecure (monitored security kits) as separate products that replace Essential or Pro on dedicated kits, and its FAQ lists ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Timescapes' pages read focus on progress monitoring and do not list a security monitoring product.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 23, 2026): Evercam's calculator lists SiteCommand Essential $395 or Pro $595 per camera/month, Timelapse Pro $150/month, Gate Report $950/kit/month, SiteSecure $395/kit/month (+$120/camera/month monitoring), 360 Walkthrough $5 per 1,000 sq ft/month ($300 minimum) and drone from $249/month, called a preliminary estimate. Timescapes shows no prices (its /pricing link returns a not-found page) and routes to Request Demo.
  • Not used here: customer quotes, project counts, construction-value and uptime figures (vendor material). Neither tool has been tested by Means & Methods Lab.
