I am trying to setup to take time lapse with an interval of 24H for the longest duration possible, and when I press set, I get an error message that says, “The time lapse should be more than 1080h(s)”. I believe there is some kind of a minimum that I am not meeting. I say this because, if I change the interval to be more frequent, the 1080h(s) reduces. For 20H interval, 900h(s), for 16H interval, 720h(s), and for 15H interval, it starts. First, I don’t understand why I am limited to only 30days, and secondly what is this minimum threshold?

Confirm that you are wanting to take one photo per day? With the stated minimum, that would mean your time lapse would display in just a couple seconds. Is that what you really want?
What camera and app versions? I just tried it on one of my V3s and it let me set to 59 hours as the interval - however yes came up with a similar message to what you got for minimum duration based on that interval.
And yes, as far as I know, the max duration for a time lapse always has been 30 days. Extending that has been requested.

I’m having the same problem. I have a Wyze camera in my greenhouse and I want to set it to take a photo once per day so I can see the evolution of these plants over time. If I’m understanding this correctly, you just can’t do it at all. You can set a 24-hour interval but it will only allow you to set a maximum of 30 days, and it tells you you have to have at least 1080 hours, which it will not allow you to set. I don’t understand why they would screw up like this. Wyze keeps blowing it in very avoidable ways. It’s super frustrating because the device is obviously capable of doing it but it’s an oversight in the app.
i tried to set one for 2 weeks, 1 pic every 8 hours and was getting a message about it needing to be more than 360h(s) [Mod Edit] ever that means, but i was able to make it 3 weeks and then it seemed to work. i was able to set it last week for 2 weeks, 1 pic every 8 hours and it finished today but it didnt save anything. i hate wyze so [Mod Edit] much, its obvious these people wouldnt be caught dead using their own products because all of the bugs in everything are so obvious. i cannot believe the wyze watch has only had 1 update since its release, do these [Mod Edit] really think its “perfect”? god i cannot stress how terrible i think these people are and hope they [Mod Edit]
