Manage Your Timelapse from Anywhere

  • Complete configuration from browser
  • Test shot with instant preview
  • Real-time synced changes
  • No physical access to device required

Adjust intervals, camera settings, and schedules directly from your browser. Take a test shot to verify framing and exposure without touching the phone. Perfect for devices in remote or hard-to-reach locations.

Professional Image Quality

  • Auto-optimization for sharp photos
  • Advanced low-light mode
  • RAW capture for post-production
  • Lens selection (wide, normal, tele)

Advanced algorithms automatically optimize settings to minimize noise, especially in low light. RAW capture enables professional editing. Fine-tune every parameter from the remote panel.

Capture Only When Needed

  • Intervals from 10 seconds to hours
  • Day of week selection
  • Multiple time slots
  • Different schedules per day

Configure captures only during work hours, exclude weekends, or create different schedules for each day. Save storage and battery by capturing only during relevant moments.

Always Know Your Project Status

  • Visual timeline of captures (ok/missed)
  • Automatic problem explanation
  • Real-time connection status
  • Critical situation alerts

The timeline shows the last 7 days at a glance. One click reveals why a capture was missed. Color-coded alerts immediately signal problems: low battery, full storage, device offline.

Relive Months of Work in Seconds

  • Smooth handling of 20,000+ images
  • Three viewing modes
  • Video-like player for quick scrubbing
  • Instant image loading

Scroll smoothly through thousands of photos without lag. The player turns your captures into an interactive video: drag the slider to see weeks of progress in seconds.

One System, Endless Projects

  • Multiple viewpoints per project
  • Dedicated access per device
  • Revoke access if lost
  • Group settings with one click

Manage multiple projects with multiple viewpoints simultaneously. If a phone is lost, revoke access instantly. Apply the same settings to all cameras in a project together.

Built for Real-World Use

  • Automatic data protection
  • Smart suspension before problems
  • Auto-retry on errors
  • Automatic resume after disconnections

The system protects itself and your data: suspends captures before battery runs out, avoids filling storage completely. When connection returns, everything resumes without intervention.
