I first discovered the world of time-lapse cameras while doing some research for one of my Kinesis clients. I wanted a solution that would allow them to easily produce short videos for their website. It struck me that time-lapse was perhaps the best way to show the comprehensive, detail-focused nature of their business.

Fast forward to several weeks later and I am now perhaps the foremost expert on time-lapse options. There’s intervalometers, game cameras, custom solar-powered camera housings, specialized construction cams…the list goes on. You can spend anywhere from $50-$2000, depending on your needs (big thanks to Mike D over at A House by the Park – he’s got a great post on his time-lapse solution).

In the end, I discovered what I hope to be an ingenious solution: a small camera designed to take time-lapse photos of growing plants. Built around WingScape’s original “Bird Cam,” The Plant Cam eliminates the motion-sensing, but adds built-in video creation (in other words, the camera automatically combines the image sequence into one complete video – very cool!).

Here’s a brief video about the product.

I’ll do a follow-up post once I have the product in hand. Thanks WingScapes!
