Live Cameras
Released 2026-08-23
Your jobsite cameras now live inside BuildPunch — on the desktop and in your pocket.
Live Cameras
Add any internet-reachable jobsite camera to a project and watch it live inside BuildPunch. Thumbnails load first so the page is useful immediately, then a tile goes live when you open it. It picks the highest quality your connection can hold and stays there instead of flickering between qualities, and one tap saves a screenshot straight into the project's Photos.
How to use it: Project → Cameras → Add camera. Same grid shows up on your phone.
Cameras are counted per project
Your camera allowance is per project, not spread across your whole account — four per project on Professional, thirty-six per project on Business. Ten jobs means ten separate allowances.
How to use it: The count on the Cameras page tells you where you stand on that project.
Fewer, better emails
A pass over every email BuildPunch sends: you no longer get notified about your own actions, one action that touches a dozen people sends one batched email instead of a dozen, a retry or a restart can't send the same message twice, and project emails carry the right company's logo instead of whichever company you touched most recently. Every notification email now has a working one-click unsubscribe.
How to use it: Nothing to do.
Projects list loads faster
The thumbnails on the projects list were quietly downloading full-size field photos into little 56-pixel tiles. They now use a small version, so the list comes up fast on a phone with one bar.
