I believe the interval was 10 seconds and after two weeks we had a ton of footage to speed up. A capture a minute would have been sufficient. However, it's better to have too much footage than wishing you had captured more.

Connection issues are typically resolved quickly. Within your network selection window, is the ATL network locked in the top position? If not, you likely have a password issue. The default password is either "87654321" or "12345678." Please forget the network and try each password. Weak batteries could be a factor, establishing and maintaining a wi-fi connection requires a good power supply. If you continue to have a connection issue, we are happy to help, please email [email protected]

@@TimeLapseCameras It is connected to it in the top position, the password worked fine. My phone cannot be on Wi-fi at the same time it is connected to the camera, I even tried using mobile data at the same time hoping it would help but it did nothing. My phone and the camera are fully charged as well. Thank you for the email, I intend to use it.

@@devildazai When the LED is solid green your camera is essentially a wi-fi hotspot. Selecting the ATL network establishes a wi-fi connection between your phone and the camera. When setting-up the camera, you don't need access to other networks or cellular data. Once the camera is recording, the wi-fi network closes and your phone will revert to normal use. I will admit, I am somewhat confused, your first message stated, "I am unable to connect to my camera" and the follow up mentions, "my phone cannot be on Wi-fi at the same time it is connected to the camera."

@@TimeLapseCameras I am able to connect my phone to my camera but the app does not recognize the connection or that my camera exists. Thats what the problem is

@@devildazai Please send an email with your camera model and let me know if there is an error message when you open the app. [email protected]

Sorry to hear of this issue. The camera does not have a "check your battery" notice. If you are referring the LED flashing red it indicates a few things which require immediate attention. Your batteries could be low, the SD card may be missing, in the wrong format (FAT-32) or full. With the camera app open, if your batteries were low the battery level indicator would be at 2 or 1 bars. If you card is missing or in the wrong format, there would be a red X over the card icon in the app. If your card is full you would see the free space/full status within the storage notification in the upper left of the main app screens, the info screen and the Settings menu. If you deleted files from your card and it still shows as full, please reference this documentation, forums.sandisk.com/t/sd-card-was-full-but-had-no-data-on/35558 If you need further assistance, we are happy to help, please reach out to Josh at 01-507-884-0070 or [email protected]

@@TimeLapseCameras I meant in the app it shows the battery as red and I bought brand new batteries for it. It won’t record a timelapse.

Following back on this: Many users will grab any brand of batteries thinking they are all the perfect option. At this time we can ask you to only use Energizer Max batteries. Full resource article here at TLC's learning site: www.afiduscam.com/post/best-batteries Did you reach out to Josh for further assistance, happy to help, please reach out to 01-507-884-0070 or [email protected].

@@TimeLapseCameras I bought energizer max and lithium batteries. Didn’t matter which ones they were it didn’t work. Anyways, I got a refund so I’m not worried about it anymore. Going to invest in something different for future projects.

This may be as simple as deleting the app and reinstalling it. iOS has had a number of updates paired with a recent firmware update in the Afidus App. Likewise pay special attention to the start up and wifi procedure. You are welcome to try to reach out to Josh directly at 507-884-0070.

contact anytime for questions. By the looks of your setup you have intervals mastered. Be sure to note the performance of h.265 vs h. 264 with in your editing system.

Jane, thank you very much. Please let us know if you have any questions, [email protected], 507-884-0070. Have a great evening. Josh

Tony, great questions. We are in frigid Minnesota which appears to be a little south east of you. This video was shot with both the camera and thermometer outdoors on our deck, for 53 days during extremely cold temps. The camera was running Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. Alkaline batteries don't perform well below 20°F (-6°C). If you know temps are going to be below 20°F for an extended period, Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries are your only option. Keep in mind, this is an electronic device outdoors, in the cold. If workers aren't working, due to the cold, presume your camera may be taking some time off too. Once it warms a little, check your camera status. If you have further questions, please send us an email, info @ timelapsecameras.com. I hope this helps, Josh.

@TimeLapseCameras thanks for your reply I really appreciate it but the question was: Was the camera outside or inside when recording this timelapse? That's all I need to know. Thanks

@@plutonio07 The camera was outside the entire duration of this test.

@TimeLapseCameras then why is there a reflexión of the inside of the house in the glass? With lights turning on and off inside the house and shadows walking around? This is very misleading to me.

​@@plutonio07 Behind the camera there is a large glass sliding door and a deck light. I am sorry you feel this is very misleading. If you would like further details, please send an email to info @ timelapsecameras.com (remove the spaces).

You just mad bro💀

The AVI format is no longer supported by many devices, applications and programs (Windows, iOS, QuickTime, Adobe, etc). Converting each file to MP4 or MOV is a cumbersome but effective option. There may be a codec which makes AVI files playable. VLC Player will play AVI files and Wondershare Filmora is editing software which has retained AVI compatibility.

Thanks Jerett, I distinctly remember being on the phone with you during my vacation with set-up questions. Loved every minute of it!!!!

Really? I placed an order on October 8 (16 days ago) for a construction project about to start soon, but I'm still waiting for any shipping notification. Last Thursday I sent them an email asking for a status update. Still no reply, so today (Monday) I sent them another followup email. Not exactly "the best" customer service in my experience. I'm thinking I'll need to cancel this order and find a different vendor if I'm going to get a camera in place in time for the start of my construction project.

@@suncrestreef9557 2022 has been a year of supply chain delays and seemingly endless chip shortage. Excuses won't help and I apologize for the lack of a shipping update last week. There are two shipments of cameras arriving later this week and we have sent two email updates, one yesterday and another today. Your order should ship by the end of this week. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Josh

@@JerettFilmsConstruction Thank you for your continued support.👊

When used as part of the preflight checklist the snap shot is so useful for this very purpose. Keep us in the loop on your next creative, we are just a DM away.

Marko, sorry to hear of your issue. I tried to locate your order(s) and I couldn't find anything under your name or three cameras shipped to Croatia. Not knowing the model, serial numbers, firmware version, initial configuration and included documentation, somewhat limits the help I can provide. Here are a few suggestions, if you need further assistance, please reach out to your retailer. If you have an IDX file matching the name of an unreadable MP4 file, the IDX is a repair file generated from an abrupt shutdown of your camera. Most often this is due to opening the battery door when there is an active recording. If you have the IDX and MP4 file on the card, replace the camera batteries, reinstall the card, and turn the camera on, this will finalize the MP4 and the IDX file will disappear. If you have removed the files from the card, Afidus can repair the file quickly with a very high success rate. With your capture interval of 5 or 10 minutes, your camera should have recorded for two months without issue. Initial battery strength is the biggest factor contributing to an unexpected recording stop. Rechargeable and discount batteries are not recommended and previous use of other batteries, would be a factor. Your cameras have a log file in the root SD card directory, this file retains a record of your camera configuration, performance and is a good reference for troubleshooting. If you need further assistance, we would be happy to help, please send your log file(s) to [email protected]

Thank you. This was a great piece to create with the slightly older model ATL-200. Here's to looking forward to more creative clips and how to capture them friend.

Oliver, thank you for an interesting question. Without an active wi-fi connection, there is no way for your phone to communicate with the camera. You need to activate the wi-fi, which requires being at the camera, to press the top button. Please let us know if you have any additional thoughts or QR code knowledge to impliment your connection option. Please reach out to [email protected]

Thank you so much, we have about a month of content in the hopper for our next "Growth Series rollout throughout January. We are based locally here in MN, seeing green this time of year is a luxury.

Alright, you guys should make a video or say in the manual if you have a bigger SD card, first format that SD card so the SD card reconizes it in the camera. cheers

@@DavidvDommelen 125 GB Card. Wowzah. most Monthly projects at 1 minute interval wont need a card size that big. At best 64gb is perfect. Any card larger than 64gb in size will need to be formated to Fat32 fto be compatible with the system. Link to the card size article here > www.afiduscam.com/post/bestcards. Make sure to check your camera monthly for natural whoopsie issues ie bird dropping and or theft. Likewise on those important projects back that content up OFF the card into a cloud or external drive for safe keeping.

Thank you Jerett. DJI Mavic 2 for now...eye-spy some neat specs for the new Mavic 3 on the horizon. Always good to have a backup just in case.

@@TimeLapseCameras I’m using the mavic air myself. It’s small but mighty.

Jarett, I have an issue with drones maintaining two required forces of flight (thrust and lift) likely caused by Controlled Flight into Terrain. CFIT occurs when an airworthy aircraft under the complete control of the pilot is inadvertently flown into terrain, water or solid objects. Josh

@@JerettFilmsConstruction not knocking the good stuff when it gets the job done.

Hi Marie here, Editor and Creator of TimeLapseCameras. This video was created and produced in 2018. Filmed in 1080 it was upsized using Red Giant. At that time that software worked with the older version of Premiere. Red Giant no longer supports the current version of Premiere CC 2021. When requested to upsize to 4K this is now done through using Adobe After Effects.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. If you have any lingering questions please contact us directly at [email protected]. We would love to see and share your ongoing or completed work. Josh

This is a very unique Advanced PRO level request. Congratulation on a great request. Using the Afidus App you can program the interval set to every 5 minutes for the duration you want. Thus, it would capture either a section of 30FPS every 5 minutes in standard Time Lapse Recording mode. You would have to Stop the camera recording then adjust the interval to 10 minutes etc for your needs. Alternatively you could use the Video Lapse Recording mode and capture a live burst ranging from 3-10 seconds spanned at an interval of your choosing. In your case 5 minutes or 10 minutes, etc. We say Advanced PRO level because you are asking for one programming session to cover multiple internal settings. This has not been created yet by Afidus. For more information on Video Lapse Recording mode is covered extensively here www.afiduscam.com/post/video-lapse

Excellent question. We typically recommend Energizer Max and Energizer Lithium batteries for projects. Full article here with good reason why each are recommend.

Sorry you are having issues, we ditched AVI over two years ago. Even if you could get the file to your phone, there may be little more you can do with it. I believe Facebook and KZbin still accept the AVI format for upload. If you find a successful solution, please return and share. This content is over three years old.

Gracias Estamos intentando ofrecer más información sobre la configuración de las situaciones de filmación aplicables. Están en marcha proyectos de crecimiento, ciencia, construcción, a corto y largo plazo. Agradecemos su apoyo y especialmente su amistad. <Translation > Thank you. We are trying to roll out more information on settings for applicable filming situations. Growth, Science, Construction, Short and long term projects are all underway.

Ji, Marie here, this past March I set the camera up and recorded from March 3rd to March 9th. 24 hours a day at 3 second interval. This footage captured the suns travel path throughout the day, sunsets/rises, moons path and snow melting. You bring up a wonderful point-share the content as an example. With that said, we will make this pubic and share the results.

Matt, it was great to connect with you. We just wrote a quick article on batteries and listed it here. www.afiduscam.com/post/best-batteries Marie is about to geek out on more battery testing. Keep up the great questions.

Have you tried calling or contacting TimeLapseCameras at 1-507-884-0070. We will walk you through the process. Please have you camera, mobile device and USB cord available (if needed)

@@TimeLapseCameras I did, they got me back up and running. Thank you very much

Thank you, We are trying to roll out a little more behind the scean and settings in the videos. There's so much to uncover with the potential of this system

Thank you Jason, There is an addional article on our learning site: www.afiduscam.com/post/video-lapse There is one more behind the scene video to come . Stay tuned friend. All the best - Marie
