thumb_up Ideal for long-term timelapse and unattended locations.
- check Locks the device to MasterLapse — the phone becomes a dedicated single-purpose device, like a handheld terminal or POS
- check Auto-starts on boot — survives power outages
- check Disables navigation buttons — tamper-resistant
- check Silent over-the-air updates — no downtime or manual interaction
- check Permissions auto-granted — never revoked by Android
- check Exclusive USB access — no competing apps for DSLR connection
Factory reset: Settings → System → Reset → Factory data reset.
Enable enterprise provisioning (standard feature on all Android devices): On the welcome screen, tap the Welcome title (or any empty area) 6 times. A QR scanner will open.

Start the installation: Scan the code below.
- Do not sign in to Google
- Accept Google services (location, etc.)
- Ignore provisioning warnings like "admin can access your microphone, passwords etc.". MasterLapse only accesses the camera
- Confirm MasterLapse security permissions when prompted
- Skip everything not related to MasterLapse (e.g. parental control and bloatware)
Wait for the setup to complete: The app will launch automatically. Enter the 6-digit pairing code from your dashboard.
