Hi! Quick question: what is the minimum duration that you can use for the time lapse interval? Can you set it to be less than a second between frames?
I’ve searched the forum but couldn’t find an answer. And I’d just look on the app but I haven’t received my Wyze cam yet, so that doesn’t work.
I’m thinking of using a fast time lapse frame rate for recording security video without using so much storage space. I figure even 5 frames per second would be plenty fast for security purposes, and that’d reduce the storage space needed 3x relative to continuous video recording (which I think for the v2 records at 15fps).
Thank you for the heads-up. Unfortunately, many links to the old support articles are broken and have no proper redirect to a valid page on the new support site. I’ll take a stab at fixing them sometime this year if no other mod jumps in.
By reverse-engineering the apk file, one can lower the minimum interval to 1 second (I suppose I’m not allowed to go into any details here).
But if you put the camera in front of a digital clock and inspect the timelapse video frame-by-frame, at least for my v3 (firmware version 4.36.9.139) the recorded interval actually alternates between the adjacent seconds of the configured interval, e.g. for 3 seconds it is 2-4-2-4-…, for 5 seconds 4-6-4-6-… and so on. A configured 1-second-interval (0-2-0-2-…) just repeats every other frame,
