I remember trying to use an old (old*) iphone for something similar, to get some use out of it. Wasted an entire day on it, trying to get around apples bullshit and it was such a hassle. POS.It's just a REOLINK wifi cam.
Not good for REAL time lapse. I have to take pictures manually. There may be apps that can automate it.
I bought one of these for just that purpose.
Doh. It's still in the box.
OH yeah. You can also use an old cell phone, with no cell service. Just connected to your WIFI - no wifi needed after apps installed.
Run apps to have the cell phone take pics, time lapse.
But yea. I know of the reolinks. I'd like something I could just plug in and get footage going/saving to a drive of my choosing.
Can't get that link open, but all good.
