Acuite integrates with photoSentinel (https://photosentinel.com).

If you’re using photoSentinel cameras at your site, you can seamlessly add their long-term timelapse images of your construction projects to your Acuite dashboards.

How to set up the photoSentinel integration (licence)

  • Go to System Settings > Integrations and click Add Integration

  • Select photoSentinel from the dropdown list and click Save

  • Click Configure

  • Enter your API Key (if you don't have an API Key, please reach out to photoSentinel directly), then click Test Connection.

How to set up the photoSentinel integration (project)

After having set up the photoSentinel integration at the licence-level, you need to enable it on your desired project(s).

  • Once in a project, click Project Settings > Integrations, then look for 'photoSentinel' in the list and click 'Enable'.

  • Once done, click Configure

  • When the integration configuration modal opens, click the 'Sync Options' tab and then click 'Load Installations' to retrieve a list of photoSentinel installations.

  • Choose which installation / camera feed you wish to import images from.

Note: The installation names provided by photoSentinel are not very descriptive. To find the right installation for your project, you may need to visit the photoSentinel portal (https://setup.photosentinel.com.au) and check the info or configuration page for detailed information.

  • Ensure Progress Photos is ticked and click 'Save'.

Once the modal closes and you return to the list, the photoSentinel integration will be configured, with synchronization scheduled to occur every hour.

How to run an immediate sync

You can initiate a sync immediately using either of the following two options:

  • Pull Updates - Acuite will only pull images that haven't been synced before.

  • Pull All - Acuite will pull all images

IMPORTANT: Depending on the configuration of your selected photoSentinel installation and its operational duration, there may be a large number of images to process during the sync. Please allow at least an hour for all images to be fully retrieved.
