Timelapses for a construction site over months - which settings are optimal?

Post by Walter2103 »

Hello, I'm new here in the forum and ask you for your experience.
I am planning to use a camera at a construction site to completely document the progress of construction for about 4 months.
I have made experiments with different parameters so far (with an alarm clock).
An example is in Record:
Periodic, each 10:00min for 5.0 sec
Alt/timelapse framerate 10.00 fps
This resulted in a movie of 5 sec with 25MB over 6h.
Determining these parameters is extremely time consuming (filming the alarm clock for 6 hours over and over again).
I plan a timelaps film of the construction sites of 10 minutes and one of 4 hours (I would duplicate the camera and with the 2. with other Parameterernbetreiben). I would make a shedule and film only in the daytime to have no light/dark sequences and then merge the single days in a video editing program.
My questions:
- does anyone have experience with this and what parameters do i use?
- which parameters do I have to set to get exactly one file every day?
- does the resource load increase if I run multiple cameras (with different parameters) to the one physical camera.
Many thanks
Walter
