BrinnoTime Lapse Camera - Time Lapse Camera with a 118° Field of View - Full HD1080P Resolution and HDR for Clear Images - 1.44 Inches IPS LCD Screen and Multilingual Interface - 2 Pack

10+ years ago, Brinno offered the TLC200 Pro, undeniably the best long term time lapse camera, which remains a great solution. As time moved on, all Brinno needed to do was update the 200 Pro with a 1080 sensor and a file format change. They choose a different direction with a few rechargeable cameras, then a giant housing requiring 16 AA batteries. During this time of Brinno product uncertainty, I switched to the Afidus camera, which has many desirable features. Fast forward to the TLC300, which appeared to be the long awaited 200 Pro update. I figured here it is finally, sign me up, let's go.Any enthusiasm I had disappeared quickly, when I discovered Brinno is still using the nearly dead AVI file format. This is not mentioned in the specifications or technical details and is a significant omission. The AVI format is no longer natively supported by Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, iOS, Android and others. The cross-platform, free VLC Media Player will allow you to play the AVI files. However, you may need to convert the files to MP4 or MOV, or obtain a codec to work with the AVI format.Another comparison for Brinno users, the TLC300 exhibits a considerable amount of undesirable noise in low light situations. The 300 shares some of the same exposure selections with the 200 Pro (Day, Twilight and Night). The TLC 200 Pro would compensate for lighting changes very well, regardless of the camera setting. The 300 requires the correct selection and even with Night selected the noise levels when dark are quite noticeable.The overall video quality, from the 300, appears mushy and lacks detail. Experienced Brinno users will notice this more than someone using the camera for the first time. 200 Pro footage at 720 is very good and can easily be scaled to 1080. 300 footage almost appears scaled in the camera.As with Brinno's other interchangeable lens cameras the 300's IR filter is affixed to the rear lens element. The specs note interchangeable CS mount lenses and there are a number to choose from, however only Brinno lenses include a removable IR filter. If you want to use a non-Brinno lens you will need to DIY an IR filter, there are few video how-tos detailing the process. Keep in mind, weather sealing is also a consideration for alternative lens use.Battery life is good, stated 100 days with a 5 minute interval. Don't let run time provide false level of security. Anything can go wrong with an unattended camera, consider two cameras for redundancy and check them regularly. The 300's navigation menu, screen and day of week scheduling are nice improvements, but features shouldn't outweigh performance. Do your research, you have options and I'll be first in line for a Brinno 400 someday.

I set this camera up 10 days ago and when I retrieved it from a job site there were NO pictures/video on the SD card. So I brought it home, pulled the batteries and let it set for a couple of hours and then started the set up again. I has been sitting on my desk now for over 3 hours and there are NO pictures videos on the SD card again. I tried to get some tech support but all I got was a repeat of the info from the set up instructions and there is seemingly no way to talk to a real person in tech support. Not a happy camper at the point and need the camera for another job......

I purchased for a new home we are building... went back to check on the cameras they did not record. I set it up in my office on a modified scheduled multiple times this morning... Still did not record. Tech support is nonexistent except from email.think twice....

Once again like I stated before on my previous review when I purchased my first brinno time lapse camera. Fast forward to today, this is the second camera I have purchased and I’m absolutely loving this time lapse camera. I started recording at the beginning of May and it’s been 49 days so far. I have it set at 1 minute interval and it’s supposed to last 20 days, but with the brand new energizer rechargeable batteries I put in, the camera is still recording with 65% battery life remaining. Absolutely fantastic product. Looking forward to buying a third camera in a couple of months!

I recently purchased the camera for a construction project I was working on, and I have to say, I'm really impressed with it. The camera is designed specifically for job sites and outdoor projects, and it produces high-quality time-lapse videos that are really easy to use.Setting up the camera was a breeze, with clear instructions on how to set the interval and schedule for recording. I appreciated the camera's automatic time-lapse function, which allowed me to focus on my work without having to constantly adjust the camera settings. The camera's wide angle view was also really useful for capturing my project.Very impressed with the camera's low power consumption as well. I've only used it for a few weeks so far, but I haven’t had to replace the batteries yet.The description says that 4 AA batteries can last for up to 66 days so this will save me a lot of money and hassle in the long run.The image quality of the TLC300 series was excellent, with full HD 1080P and HDR features that can easily capture time-lapse videos even at night. The waterproof casing really came in handy given the English weather!Overall, I would highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a high-quality time-lapse camera for their outdoor or construction projects. It's easy to use, produces great results, and comes with everything you need to get started. If you're looking for a reliable and effective camera, this is definitely the one to get.

The media could not be loaded.  Parfois les vidéos ont le dessous des nuages vert, les tons clairs sont souvent cramés, elle est récente mais une mise à jour s'impose, le HDR n'est pas très visible. Pour le moment, je vous conseillerais de passer votre chemin.
