Viewing Time Lapse - WingScapes TimelapseCam Pro User Manual

Viewing Time Lapse

This easy-to-use software allows you to advance through the series of images a number of different ways:
BEGIN/END
Goes to the first or last photo in the Plot File.
FRAME BY FRAME SEARCH
Individually step forward or backward through each photo.
REWIND/PAUSE/PLAY
Play photos in sequence, pause, or play the photos in reverse order.
These functions simulate a video and are useful for manually searching
changes in the photos. When a sequence is being played, press
fast-forward or fast-rewind multiple times to increase speed. (1x-5x)
SEARCH
This function allows quick scanning of images foreword and back. The
scan pauses when the software detects a change in pixel content from
the last photo viewed. We detect change based on averages so it
will not be as accurate as a manual frame by frame search.
SEARCH REGION
Click on Set Search Region Button.
This allows you to define a specific search
area, rather than the whole photo. Drag the
red outline to the area you want to search.
This allows you to focus on a very precise area
if required.
SEARCH STEPS
This allows for even faster scans by skipping
the selected amount of images (1-50). The
higher this setting, the lower the search
results as it is ignoring selected photos. You
may find this option helpful if you have a
very large quantity of photos to scan.
Click OK.
Click on Motion Search Advance button.

Tripods
For very precise placement and aiming,
no mounting method will beat a camera
tripod. A standard threaded tripod mount
(¼"-20) is embedded into the bottom and
rear of the TimelapseCam. This allows
users to attach the TimelapseCam to any
tripod or any of thousands of 3rd-party
camera mounting accessories – providing
users with a world of creative opportunities
through angle and height adjustment.
Mounting Strap
The TimelapseCam comes with a
Mounting Strap to facilitate mounting.
You will find slots in the rear of the
TimelapseCam through which a strap
can be threaded. Many users will
tighten the TimelapseCam to a tree,
then wedge a stick or piece of bark
between the TimelapseCam and the
tree to facilitate aiming.
Mounting Arm Accessories
Wingscapes optional mounting
accessories for the TimelapseCam Pro:
Camera Multi-Mount
(WSBR01)
and
Camera Multi-Mount with
Extension Arm (WSBR02)
Both accessoris will allow you to easily
mount the TimelapseCam Pro to a
common bird feeder pole, a post, a stake,
a wall, or a tree. Numerous angle settings
and 360° rotation make this mounting arm
one of the most versatile setup options.
Your Wingscapes TimelapseCam Pro offers
nearly limitless mounting opportunities,
allowing you to capture images in practically
any situation.
