Enable Timelapse
The timelapse feature will compile thumbnails from a camera that span up to a year to create a timelapse video. This feature can only pull thumbnails from a camera after the feature has been enabled. Any recorded footage before the feature is enabled will be inaccessible. A timelapse can be created even if the previously recorded footage has been overwritten.
Note: The timelapse feature must be enabled using an Enterprise License. Footage cannot be retrieved from before the timelapse feature is toggled on.
