Creating a Timelapse

To create a timelapse video, simply go to Saved Video -> Timelapses -> Create Timelapse.

Select the camera you want create a timelapse with. 

Note: You can create a timelapse as far back as any camera was online (it's ok if the camera no longer has video footage of the event) and you can create a timelapse with up to 12 cameras at once.  

Once you've chosen the cameras you want, select the time frame and other parameters you want for the timelapse. 

When you are done, you can click Create and save the timelapse like any other video. This process can take up to several minutes. 

Optional Toggles

Below you can find the meanings of the optional toggles that can be selected while creating a timeplapse video.

Skip Nights

This toggle determines night using a library that estimates the sunset to sunrise hours for a particular day. Roughly, this will come out to your local sunset/sunrise times.

Skip Weekends

This toggle will allow you to skip 12 AM Saturday to 12 AM Monday.

Include Camera Name and Location

This toggle will append the camera name and location to the timelapse video.

Include Timestamp

This toggle will append the timestamp around the timelapse capture to the video.
