What Enlaps does

Enlaps is a French ConTech company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Montbonnot-Saint-Martin near Grenoble, France. The company has built an integrated ecosystem for autonomous visual monitoring of construction sites and other long-duration outdoor projects. Its core technology stack comprises the Tikee camera family — solar-powered, IP66-rated autonomous timelapse cameras offering up to 6K panoramic capture at 220°, with integrated adjustable solar panels, 24,000 mAh batteries, WiFi and 4G/LTE connectivity, and HD livestream — paired with the myTikee cloud SaaS platform for automated timelapse generation, AI-powered image analysis (object, people, and situation detection), automated reporting, and remote project monitoring. A Tikee Remote mobile app, accessories such as the Tikee Sentinel PIR motion detector and an external solar panel, and integration of third-party IP cameras round out the offering.

Enlaps monetizes through a hybrid hardware-plus-subscription model: one-time hardware sales of Tikee cameras and accessories (Tikee 4X listed at €1,650 ex-VAT) via shop.enlaps.io and authorized global retailers, layered with per-camera myTikee SaaS subscriptions billed monthly or annually with tacit renewal, a trade-in program for older Tikee models, and a ~500-strong Enlaps Preferred Partner (EPP) network that delivers turnkey installation and maintenance services. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (logos include EDF, Eiffage, Vinci, TotalEnergies, Engie, Renault, Decathlon, Geneva Airport, and Soitec), self-serve e-commerce, and channel partners. Approximately 70% of revenue is generated internationally, with ~20,000 connected cameras across 90 countries and 40,000+ construction projects monitored cumulatively.

The company employs ~30 people and is privately held, with co-founders Antoine Auberton (CEO), Benoit Farinotte (CTO), and Kevin Picot (Tech Lead). Total disclosed funding since inception is roughly $3.8M across three rounds, the latest being a ~$3.35M round in May 2019. Beyond construction, Enlaps has expanded use cases into tourism (Les Contamines-Montjoie ski area), mining, and agricultural research (a 2020–2023 study with Swiss Agroscope using Tikee cameras as PhenoCams).

Revenue model

1. Hardware Sales - Tikee Camera Family: Enlaps sells a range of autonomous timelapse cameras (Tikee 4, Tikee 4X, Tikee mini+, Tikee mini, Tikee 3 PRO+, and earlier models) and accessories (solar panels, Tikee Sentinel motion detector, mounting kits, microSD cards, anti-theft cables) directly through its online store (shop.enlaps.io) and through global authorized retailers. Hardware is sold as one-time purchases with prices ranging from entry-level to premium 6K models.
2. myTikee SaaS Subscriptions: The myTikee cloud platform offers tiered subscription plans (myTikee Capture, myTikee Monitor, myTikee Unlimited, myTikee Storytelling, myTikee Reporting, myTikee Enterprise) billed monthly or annually. Each paid subscription corresponds to a single camera license. Some plans are free-tiered; paid plans unlock additional storage, AI features, and advanced analytics. Subscriptions auto-renew tacitly on the Platform for monthly or annual terms.
3. Enlaps Preferred Partner (EPP) Installation Services: Enlaps Preferred Partners (EPP) are certified installation service providers who handle camera installation, configuration, and ongoing maintenance for customers. Partners offer turnkey timelapse services to construction, tourism, and event clients, generating recurring service revenues. Enlaps benefits through partner program fees and expanded market reach.
4. Trade-in Program and Camera Recycling: Enlaps operates a trade-in program allowing customers to exchange older Tikee models (Tikee, Tikee PRO, Tikee PRO 2, Tikee PRO 2+, Tikee 3, Tikee 3 PRO, Tikee 3 PRO+, Tikee mini, Tikee 4) for credit vouchers toward new camera purchases (200 euros for Tikee 4, 150 euros for Tikee mini+ Pack, 100 euros for Tikee mini+), incentivizing hardware upgrades and customer loyalty.
5. Research and Agronomic Use (B2B): Enlaps cameras are used in research contexts (e.g., Agroscope using Tikee as PhenoCams for agricultural phenology studies), suggesting a B2B revenue stream targeting research institutions for scientific monitoring applications beyond construction.

Broad incumbents

• DroneDeploy: DroneDeploy is the dominant drone-based reality capture and site mapping platform for construction, with broader portfolio capabilities (aerial mapping, asset inspection) that overlap with Enlaps' autonomous monitoring for progress tracking.
• Matterport: Matterport provides spatial capture and digital twin technology used across real estate, construction, and facilities. While broader than Enlaps, its construction progress and facility monitoring capabilities overlap with myTikee in enterprise accounts.

Direct peers

• OxBlue: OxBlue provides construction camera systems (fixed time-lapse and live-stream cameras) with a cloud platform for progress monitoring and documentation, directly competing with Enlaps' Tikee ecosystem for the same general contractors and project owners.
• EarthCam: EarthCam is one of the largest providers of construction-grade webcam and timelapse camera solutions, with software for jobsite documentation and AI analytics—closely overlapping Enlaps' integrated hardware-plus-cloud offering to enterprise construction clients.
• Brinno: Brinno designs long-term time-lapse cameras used by construction and documentary teams. While less SaaS-heavy, Brinno competes with Enlaps' Tikee mini and mini+ lineup in the compact, battery/solar-powered timelapse camera category.
• OpenSpace: OpenSpace provides AI-powered 360° construction progress tracking, competing with Enlaps on automated visual monitoring and reporting for general contractors—though using walkthrough capture rather than fixed timelapse cameras.
• Buildots: Buildots applies computer vision and AI to construction progress monitoring and variance detection, addressing the same site managers and project managers that Enlaps targets with its automated visual reporting.

Emerging players

• StructionSite (now part of DroneDeploy): StructionSite pioneered AI-driven photo documentation for construction progress and was acquired by DroneDeploy, expanding DroneDeploy's jobsite capture offering into fixed-camera and walkthrough imagery overlapping with Enlaps' myTikee platform.
• HoloBuilder (FARO): HoloBuilder, now part of FARO, offers 360° construction progress capture and documentation, serving a similar site manager and project manager buyer with a software-led approach that competes with myTikee for AI-driven construction analytics.
• Reconstruct: Reconstruct combines BIM, computer vision, and photogrammetry to deliver digital twins and construction progress monitoring, competing with Enlaps on AI-powered visual analytics and executive reporting for large construction portfolios.
