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.
