Hi All,

My partner and I are in the process of building a house - I had the idea of filming it and creating a time lapse. Has anyone done this before? What type of camera/webcam did you use? What about storage/power etc?

I think the building process in Switzerland is absolutely fascinating and it would be interesting to document.

Thanks!

ask the construction company if they can do it, they might have ad hoc equipment such as this:

you can order a little camera from Raspberry Pi (digitec sells them and other shops too - Pi has gone mainstream these days), hook it up to your wi-fi, programme it to take images, save images and then you can put them together for a time-lapse presentation. we have had ours for 5 years stuck to a window - 15 min intervals. a film of seasons...

Not done this for 5 years, however we used a DSLR at the time, with constant power & in a waterproof box. Off loaded pictures at least weekly for security.

That is definitely the best solution.

I was going to suggest a Go-Pro, a 12V battery, a USB supply and wiring etc but an off-the-shelf battery-operated model designed specifically for the job for less than 150 CHF would be so much cheaper.
