Greetings,

Does anyone know of any companies in Cape Town that could assist with setting up a webcam mounted on top of a building? I'm inquiring on behalf of someone who is looking for someone that would be able to provide all of the necessary equipment in order to provide a live feed of construction work on a new property development. They unfortunately don't have anyone in-house who would be able to do it for them.

Thanks!

That's actually not half bad! The construction work will involve massive changes to an existing building, so it wouldn't need to be too detailed. I'll make the suggestion, thanks :)

It will be required in the Cape Town CBD. It's for a large property fund so I'm sure they'd be willing to investigate various options.
 
The basic components are an internet connection, something with at least 1Mbps upload. An IP camera with suitable lense, housing and brackets. A PoE injector to run power to the camera. Then all you need to do is install, setup a dynamic dns service and the portforwarding and you can view your camera from anywhere in the world.
I am willing to take a look and provide a quote. I run a sideline business doing CCTV and IT sales/support/installations. based in cape town. PM if you are interested.
 
I haven't used them before but think they could do it:

Edit: had a quick look at the Cybersmart offering - whilst it is a nice idea to have it as a managed service, that camera resolution is pretty bad!
