Brinno 2-Pack EMPOWER TLC2020 Time Lapse Camera - 99-Day Battery Life - Captures Professional 1080P HDR Timelapse, Stop Motion and Step Videos - Flexible Schedule - Great for Long-Term Indoor Projects

Easy to program worked as advertised also very well built.

I think this camera is great in function, but not completely thought out; great quality, and I appreciate the quick menu options.Cons, price of course. And for the price, I would expect the chassis to be waterproof; it's a shame this is an afterthought, and the necessity to purchase a case required to partake in the events that I believe is the majority of consumers intent (outdoor documentation).In addition to the case issue, I literally had this camera 1 minute, and the SDcard/USB-C cover broke off. A better fixation solution should be considered here.

I have used multiple Brinno 720 P time lapse cameras over the years. They work well but they are not high enough resolution for my construction business. I just purchased this 1080 P TLC 2020 and used it on my first job. The clarity of the time lapse video is incredible to say the least.I am purchasing another TLC 2020 so I can do time lapse videos from multiple angles.This unit is also much easier to change the settings than the older model.I highly recommend it.

Image quality is as expected. But, I made a video with every 5 seconds, and the batteries didn't last the full day. Compare that to my OLD Brinno, that will run every day, for weeks now, happily doing 5 second interval videos. Somehow Brinno has managed to make the battery life terrible.IF you only take a picture every few minutes or a few times an hour, it can probably last a long time, but for anything in the second's range, it's terrible.Then, the camera splits the files into chunks about 500 Kb each. Why? Again, the OLDER camera did NOT do this, it just makes a gigantic movie. Now, however, you will need to get all these chunks of files off the camera and use some software (not included) to combine them. If you, as I do, split your files into daily batches, this is just... SO annoying.Finally, the camera will NOT let me move files of the memory card using the cable. Yes, you can COPY them, but to delete, you need to take the memory card out. WHY.. So make sure you also have a micro-USB card reader handy, otherwise the memory card will fill up and you're stuck.The older camera also let you turn the viewfinder up and down. Not so anymore...Overall, besides the improved image quality, this camera is a step down on almost all other features... And I love my old Brinno, so this is just terribly disappointing.

I've had a TCL2020 for about 3 weeks now, and had it in use for the last 2 of those weeks. I'll get to the other stuff later, but what inspired me to write this review is the abysmal battery life this thing has been getting.It will barely survive 3 days outside before the batteries die. MAYBE 4. It's marketed as 99 days with a 5-second interval. I've programmed it for 6 days/week, 12 hours/day, and have varied between a 10 and 15 second delay between shots, and I'm coming back to either dead batteries or <15% life left. Using brand new, fully charged Energizer rechargeables (the batteries in the package didn't even last 2 days).Needless to say I'm chapped about this. I knew 99 days had to be an exaggeration, but I was realistically hoping for 2 weeks between battery replacement (that's the frequency of my trips to the construction site). Nope. Now I have to either a) blow my site visit budget and do this during the week, b) sacrifice part of my weekend making the trip to do this, or c) sacrifice my tiny fragments of free time during the week.The footage looks pretty good. Probably as good as can be expected from a device like this, and I'm impressed by how it handles varying white balance and ramping exposure internally during changing light. And the videos are definitely good enough for the intended purposes - it's not cinema, but that isn't anyone's expectations.The camera saves as .avi files - I'm presuming for coding efficiency - up to 500MB files, and then splits into a different file if a day's shoot goes longer than that. Total file sizes for a day are about 700MB +/- in AVI. To reduce file size, my workflow involves taking them home first to process them in AfterEffects: joining the 2 avi's it splits a day into, run it through a de-flickering plugin, and export it as H-264 mp4 to boil the files down to about 140MB/day.Our project management staff and the municipal client seem to love the videos, so this is overall a win and I don't want to leave a scathing review at all. But the battery thing is just such a headache and a complication for the person responsible for the camera (me). We have other projects coming up where we'll be shooting long-term timelapses. I will NOT be considering Brinno gear for those projects, but that's exclusively due to the battery deficiencies. I could reconcile the rest.

Bought for recording our home construction. A little clunky to operate, but good results. Had an issue with a firmware update, but Brinno was all over it and sent a replacement quickly. Very happy.

Excelente cámara timelapse con las siguientes pegas: No puedes ver el material desde cámara, debes descargarlo a una pc/mac. El formato es AVI. a tener en cuenta para convertir luego. La imagen en sí es útil para registrar pero no esperes la mejor compresión en ese formato para 1080. No es muy amigable el disparador para saber que está funcionando (hay que poner extra atención o sino verás que no la arrancaste). La carcasa de agua funciona fenomenal, la dejé 3 meses registrando un mural y aguantó tanto la batería como el equipo. La tapa donde va el conector usb y la batería micro sd es de goma de mala calidad (el sol la achicharra rápido), así que nada más la uso con el case de agua.

Great camera for time-lapses, batteries last super long and I love all of the options for taking a time-lapse!

Extremely disappointed. We set it up to capture a new build. I tested it for a few days and everything seemed to be working great. Then left it for 5 days to record only to realize it had stopped recording a couple of days in, missing some of our biggest days that we were excited to capture for a final time lapse video. There is tons of storage and battery so it wasn't due to either of those. The schedule was set up properly. It wasn't a user error. Returning.

I purchased this product almost 12 months ago and have had nothing but trouble with it. The user interface is poor, clunky and confusing. The recordings themselves are hit and miss as to when they work and to add insult to injury the thing will not switch on even when plugged into a USB power source. Avoid.

Product quality very bad indoor picture quality badCash lostPlease return the product and refundBuild quality very badI do not need the bad product so iam return the product please refund amound

La compre porque tengo un proyecto de construcción, que durará aproximadamente 8 meses, y las reseñas dicen que su batería dura hasta 90 días,Tengo 2 semanas probándola y es verdad la batería no ha bajado del 95% , la calidad del video es buena a 1080, es pequeña por lo que se puede acomodar muy bien donde sea, le compre adicionalmente su carcasa, se ve de buena calidad, solo no le doy 5 estrellas porque considero el precio algo elevado.
