How to setup your TimeLapse Camera
Brinno TimeLapse Camera - 2
• The maximum size USB ash drive that TimeLapse Camera can support is a 8GB USB Flash Drive. If you use a
USB ash drive with a larger memory density the camera will not function properly.
• Replace the battery door on the TimeLapse Camera. Make sure to push down the latch until you hear it “click”
to ensure the door is closed properly.
• With the wheel in the middle of the camera you can choose between one of seven time interval settings.
Simply rotate the wheel to choose the desired setting.
• The wheel MUST point to number directly, otherwise TimeLapse Camera can not work!
• To modify the custom setting, insert the included USB Flash Drive into your computer, and follow the
instructions. See “Installing the Software”.
• The custom setting can range anywhere from 5 seconds to 12 hours.
Factory default custom setting is set to 5 seconds.

3 - Brinno TimeLapse Camera
TimeLapse Camera has two lens positions that determine the focal distance and the depth of eld of the
camera:
Standard Setting : Turn the lens to the “mountain” icon position. This will give a depth of eld that
extends from approximately 1 meter (2.6 feet) and beyond, and is best for getting shots of an entire garden
or a large area.
Macro Setting : Turn the lens bezel to the “ower” icon position. This setting allows the camera to focus
on an object that is approximately 0.5 Meters (19 inches) away from the camera. Because the depth of eld
is signicantly reduced when using this setting, subjects in the background will be out of focus. This setting
is best for following the growth of a single bloom, or any other subject that requires close-up observation.
After choosing the lens setting appropriate to the subject to be photographed, the camera should be aimed
so that the lens is pointing at the center of the subject. Because the eld of view of the lens is quite wide,
the positioning of the TimeLapse Camera does not have to be extremely precise. But because a typical time
lapse sequence takes place over a long period of time, it is suggested that a short test session (with a short
time interval) be used to ensure correct positioning of the TimeLapse Camera. Once the positioning has
been veried, then the desired time interval for the full time lapse sequence can be set, and its time to take
pictures.
Choose your Lens setting
The table above shows some typical distances, but since TimeLapse Camera is capable of focusing on
objects that are far away, it can also be used to photograph many other subjects.
For example, you could set up TimeLapse Camera to take a photo once every 24 hours to capture the
process of a house being built over several months. Or get a picture of the sunset every day for a year. The
possibilities are only limited by your imagination and creativeness!
The table below shows the approximate image size (width x height) based on
the distance between the camera and the subject(s) to be captured.

To turn on the TimeLapse Camera
To turn o the TimeLapse Camera
• If the USB flash drive is full, or the batteries are completely empty, TimeLapse Camera will not turn on. If the
batteries are too low for normal operation, it will turn on and beep twice, the red LED will turn on, and then
TimeLapse Camera will beep six times and turn off. If the USB flash drive is full, or not installed, TimeLapse
Cam will turn on and beep twice, then after a few seconds the blue LED will turn on, then TimeLapse Camera
will beep six times and turn off.
• When TimeLapse Camera is in operation the green LED will turn on for about one second every 15 seconds to
indicate that the camera is running properly and is ready to take photos.
• If there is any other status to report, the camera will do so at the same time as the green LED flashes. If the
batteries are getting low the red LED will turn on in unison with the green LED. If the USB flash drive is getting
close to being full, then the blue LED will turn on in unison with the green LED.
• If the camera has previously automatically shut down due to low batteries or a full USB flash drive, the next
time the power button is pressed the red or blue LED will turn on and will stay on until the green LED turns on.
This allows you to determine the cause of the automatic shutdown so that the appropriate corrective action
can be taken.
• The green LED will also turn on and flicker for a few seconds while a picture is captured at the chosen time
setting, and then is stored on the USB flash drive. This indication of TimeLapse Camera activity is independent
of the status indication that occurs every 15 seconds.
NOTE
On the front of the TimeLapse Camera, above the lens, there are three LED lights.
These LEDs allow you to monitor the status of the camera without having to move the camera from its
mounted position.
Press and hold the orange power button on the front of the camera until the green LED lights up. After a few
seconds the TimeLapse Camera will beep twice to indicate it has properly initialized and is waiting to start
a time-lapse sequence. After a delay of approximately 5 seconds the TimeLapse Camera will take the rst
picture of the time-lapse sequence.
Press and hold the orange power button until the TimeLapse Camera beeps three times and the green
LED turns o. This may take several seconds because the TimeLapse Camera must rst power itself on
and initialize before it recognizes the turn o request. Please be patient and wait for the beeps and LED
indication.
Each LED supports a dierent function:
Green LED light: Power ON/OFF and status
Red LED light: Low battery level
Blue LED light: Low USB ash drive level
Beep:
Power ON: Two beeps
Power OFF: Three beeps
Register setting change: Three beeps
Error status: Six beeps
(error = no USB ash driver, USB memory short, low battery)
