I used to do time lapse photography with my DSLR. The downside to using a DSLR is the battery. When a battery dies, you must stop recording and replace it. Then I found this simple time-lapse camera. This AA battery lasts for days so I don't have to worry about missing a few shots. Compared to DSLRs or mirrorless cameras, I have to say that the picture quality is not as good as those expensive devices. But for the price of less than two hundred dollars, it's quite acceptable. It cannot be used for business record-keeping purposes. The camera also comes with brackets to attach it to the wall. A free micro SD card is provided as a bonus.
