Timelapse 2: Effortless Timelapse Videos on Axis Cameras

Timelapse 2 is a modern, open-source application for capturing and creating timelapse videos using your Axis camera. Built for the latest Axis firmware, it’s simple to use—no programming required.

Why Timelapse?

The most common use for timelapse on Axis cameras is documenting construction site progress—for example, capturing a photo at solar noon each day to visualize changes over time. But Timelapse 2 is flexible! You can use it for:

  • Any type of timelapse video—nature, art, weather, and more.
  • Forensic motion event review—capture images on motion detection, then quickly generate a timelapse for rapid video auditing of activity over long periods.

Key Features

  • Flexible scheduling: Capture images on a fixed schedule (like every day at noon) or trigger on motion events.
  • Efficient review: Instantly turn months of images into a short timelapse video—perfect for quick audits and sharing progress.
  • Open Source & Community-Driven: Transparent code, welcoming contributions and improvements from users.
