Meet the HQ Time-Lapse Camera PTM

12-Megapixel Sensor | User-Defined Framerate | Your Eyes in the Field

Obscape's HQ Time-Lapse Camera PTM is ideally suited for long-term visual monitoring of gradually evolving processes, such as beach and river morphology, littering of surface waters or construction works.

The operational 10 to 60-minute interval of the HQ Time-Lapse Camera PTM allows for monitoring of processes that gradually evolve on timescales of 10 minutes and up. Examples of such processes include sediment dynamics in rivers, on beaches and in dune areas, construction works, traffic intensity, parking lot occupancy or cloud formation. The ability of the device to collect image bursts at a known frame rate yields a whole range of additional applications, such as velocity estimation of cars or water surfaces.

The downward-looking version of the HQ Time-Lapse Camera was developed particularly for monitoring debris/litter on water surfaces. Paired with automatic litter detection software, the camera will keep a close watch on pollution rates of the river surface over time.
