Advantages of Time-Lapse Recording
Time-lapse recording can significantly save hard drive space, especially in scenarios where the scene is relatively still. Reducing the number of frames per minute lowers the data storage requirements while still providing an overall overview of events.
At the same time as the time-lapse, the system can perform continuous recording and capture events (e.g., motion detection) with high quality and frame rates. This allows for storing detailed video of significant events, as well as the overall time-lapse for long-term storage or quick review.
The time-lapse feature is especially useful for locations with prolonged static monitoring, such as warehouses, parking lots, or areas with low activity. You get a balanced solution between quality and data volume, while still maintaining the ability to analyze important moments.
