  1. Actually 10 fps would be pushing it, wouldn't it... Since i've posted that info the sponsors have agreed to a more realistic target of 1 frame per minute at 800 x 600 resolution. That should reduce the data storage needs substantially. I am however still looking for the best software for this type of application... any sugestions? Something that is robust enough to run without issue for months and has scheduling capabilities built in that will allow us to record for the specified hours of operation (6am - 6pm, Mon - Fri)... Thanks. All feedback is appreciated.
  2. Hello Rude-e... Just wondering how your time lapse project turned out... and wanted to share our plans for comments by the experts on the forum... We are currently setting up a similar project for a facility demolition / rebuild. The project sponsor wants a broadcast quality time lapse DVD of the entire process (1 year +). We'll be using an AXIS 223M Megapixel IP camera storing 1 - 10 Frames Per Second for 12 hours per day at 1600 x 1200 resolution. The plan is to use Microsofts Media Encoder 9 software to encode video to a file on a 720 gig hard drive, transfering the file every month or two for editing at a local home video studio. The PC is fairly robust and the only box on this mini ethernet. I have all components (PC, Switch, Camera, Housing) all plugged into an APC UPS to keep power clean and stable. I've never used WME9 before this project and have been bench testing it for several days. It seems fairly stable... Anyone else doing projects like this or care to comment on my proposed set-up? Thanks for helping the newbie...
