Thought I’d share a 5-month Time Lapse video of a construction project I captured with my Wyze Cam v3.

WOW! 5 Months! I’m glad you edited out most of the downtime. 👍 That must’ve taken a lot of video editing too.

This is AWESOME! Your video has inspired us to use a v3 to capture our workplace renovation. What time interval did you use?

We definitely will! Just trying to figure out the best settings for time interval (we expect this to be a 5 month project) before we get underway. 🙂

I used a 30 second interval.  
Be sure to remove the videos every few days to make room on your SD card. Unlike activity recordings, new time lapse videos don’t overwrite old videos. The camera will just stop saving when the SD card gets full. I also reformatted the card frequently.  
Good luck and be sure to share your results!

Another way is to have 2 SD cards and just switch them out every couple of days.

MVB, When creating a TimeLapse where you’ll be stitching several videos together, you’ll want to avoid any changes that might reposition the camera even slightly.
