Thread: time lapse camera

I'm not really sure what is available in actual cameras that do time lapse, but another option I have used is to hook a camera up to a laptop and then use a computer program to control the time lapse and store the photos.

thanks for the idea and not impossible

the pics i need are outdoors halfway up a conveyor overlooking a process water dam

I saw one the other day on "Catch of the Day"

Cant remember all the specs, but it recorded onto a SD card, and had a variable time delay between a couple of mins, to about 24hrs between shots.

I will see if I can dig it up.

Kelvin, you are Nikon user so get Camera Control Pro 2
Here is some reading using a remote control

For time lapse you might want to look for security cameras. Jaycar sells them.

This does very low frame rates - 16Ch DVR 1TB HDD with DVD Recorder - Jaycar Electronics

This does 1 frame per second - 4 Channel DVR Kit with 2 Cameras - Jaycar Electronics

They also do record on motion detection which might do the trick.
