Construction Time Lapse Using a Network IP Camera
Mike from CCTV Camera Pros explains how to use network IP camera as a construction time lapse camera. Mike is using this system to document the construction of the swimming pool at his home. Mike wrote a software application that automatically generates the time lapse video and shares it on YouTube and Twitter.
Software that runs automatically like this is sometimes referred to as a bot. Here is a summary of what this software bot does.
~ Automatically captures snapshot images using a standard network IP camera. The time interval of the snapshots should be configurable.
~ Automatically post image updates to Twitter at a configurable interval.
~ Automatically compile the still images into a time lapse video at a configurable interval.
~ Automatically upload the video to CCTV Camera Pros YouTube channel once per day.
~ Automatically post an update to Twitter that includes the latest snapshot image and a link to the latest YouTube time lapse video upload once per day.
This is the Viewtron IP camera that is used for this project.
