Building Trust from the Ground Up: How Live CCTV Streaming is Transforming Real Estate
The skyline of Nairobi, and indeed much of Kenya, is a testament to rapid growth and ambitious vision. Cranes dot the horizon, and new communities like Tatu City are rising to meet the demands of a modernizing nation. Yet, for every brick laid and every beam raised, there exists a critical, often overlooked, component of successful real estate development: transparency.
For buyers, especially those investing from abroad, the process can feel like a leap of faith. They commit significant capital to a project they can only see through glossy brochures, rendered images, and occasional site visit photos. Questions linger: Is work actually progressing? Is the quality as promised? Is my investment secure?
At Boardtac Solutions, we believe that the bridge between a developer’s promise and a buyer’s peace of mind is built with transparency. We are proud to partner with forward-thinking developers to implement security and monitoring technologies that do more than just protect a site—they build trust. Our recent collaboration with Nextgroup.ge on their flagship development, Next Amani in Tatu City, is a perfect case study in this transformative approach.
We installed a comprehensive CCTV system and, most importantly, integrated a real-time, live construction stream directly onto their website. Now, anyone in the world can witness the birth of Next Amani, live, 24/7.

This isn’t just a camera feed; it’s a window into the project’s soul, and it’s revolutionizing how real estate is marketed and managed in Kenya.

Beyond Security: Why Live CCTV Streaming is a Game-Changer for Real Estate
Construction sites are dynamic, complex, and capital-intensive environments. For developers, managing multiple contractors, timelines, and budgets is a Herculean task. For buyers, the lack of visibility can be a source of constant anxiety. Live CCTV streaming elegantly solves problems for both parties.
Here’s why it matters:
- Uncompromising Real-Time Transparency
Gone are the days of waiting for monthly progress reports or staged photographs. Investors and future homeowners can monitor the site as it happens, from any device, anywhere in the world. This immediate access to information eliminates the fog of uncertainty and sets a new standard for open communication. - Building Unshakeable Trust and Credibility, Especially for International Buyers.
This is the most critical benefit. For a buyer in London, Dubai, or New York, investing in a Kenyan property is a major decision. They are not just buying a house; they are betting on a developer’s integrity.- A developer who openly shares their construction progress is a developer with nothing to hide. This act of radical transparency is the single most powerful trust signal you can send. It demonstrates accountability, confidence in your work, and a deep respect for your clients’ investment. It directly addresses the number one concern of overseas buyers: “Can I trust this developer to deliver?”
- Enhanced Project Oversight and Management.
For the development team, live streaming is a powerful management tool. Site managers and project leads can remotely monitor:- Work Progress: Track the pace of construction against project timelines.
- Safety Compliance: Ensure that safety protocols are being followed on site.
- Resource Management: Observe the delivery and usage of materials.
- Contractor Performance: Verify that different teams are working efficiently and in coordination.
This leads to more efficient decision-making and reduces the need for constant physical site visits.
- Proactive Communication and Customer Service
Instead of fielding endless emails and calls asking “How is the project going?”, the sales and customer service team can direct buyers to the live feed. It serves as a constant, proactive update, freeing up time for the team to handle more complex queries and build stronger relationships. - A Multi-Layered Security Solution
Of course, the core function of a CCTV system remains intact. The live stream enhances site security by:- Deterring and documenting theft of valuable materials and equipment.
- Monitoring access points and exits.
- Providing recorded evidence in case of any incidents.
- Helping enforce on-site safety and protocol.
A Case Study in Transparency: Our Implementation at Next Amani, Tatu City
Our mission with Nextgroup.ge was clear: deploy a robust, reliable, and publicly accessible live streaming solution that would become a cornerstone of their marketing and communication strategy for Next Amani.
Our collaborative process included:
✔ Strategic Camera Placement: We didn’t just install cameras; we positioned them to capture the most meaningful angles of the construction. The goal was to provide a comprehensive, stable, and clear view of the ongoing work, giving viewers a genuine sense of the project’s scale and progress.
✔ Robust Network Optimization: A choppy, unreliable stream is worse than no stream at all. We configured the on-site networking infrastructure to ensure a stable, high-quality broadcast that can run 24/7 without interruption, even in the demanding environment of a construction site.
✔ Frictionless Website Embedding: We worked directly with the Nextgroup.ge web development team to seamlessly embed the live video player into their project website. The result is a clean, professional, and intuitive feature that works perfectly on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

Why Live Streaming is Becoming the New Standard for Serious Developers
