Meet the Time-Lapse Camera PTM
Obscape’s Time-Lapse Camera PTM is a robust, fully wireless solution that delivers time-lapse images to your desktop in real-time. Whether you are monitoring coastal erosion, progress of construction works, beach attendance or vegetation growth, time-lapse images can help you to collect the required data.
The Time-Lapse Camera PTM is completely wireless. Power is supplied through built-in solar panels, while images are transmitted in real-time using a 4G GSM connection. Therefore, the Time-Lapse Camera is easy to install at any desired location within GSM coverage ( or optional Satellite comms.). There is no need to worry about access to mains power or the internet.
