Product Information
Full details
The Brinno TLC 2020 Time Lapse Camera is designed for users who need to easily capture and create time-lapse videos for projects like nature observation, construction progress, or documenting events. Its key benefit is the ability to generate ready-to-share videos automatically, saving editing time. A potential caveat is the fixed interval for time-lapse capture, which may not suit all dynamic scenarios. Key features include three unique capture modes (Time Lapse, Step Video, Stop Motion), long battery life up to 99 days, 1080p HDR/FHD recording, and an 118° wide-angle lens.

Troubleshooting
Camera does not power on
Ensure that 4 fresh AA batteries are correctly inserted. Check battery contacts for corrosion. Try a different set of batteries.
No footage is being recorded
Verify that a compatible MicroSD card is inserted and has sufficient free space. Check the camera's shooting schedule and ensure it is enabled and set correctly. Ensure the camera is not in standby mode.
Video quality is poor or grainy
Clean the camera lens with a microfiber cloth. Ensure the scene is adequately lit, or utilize the HDR settings if available for challenging lighting. Check that the correct resolution is selected in the settings.
Camera stops recording unexpectedly
Check the battery level and replace batteries if low. Ensure the MicroSD card is not full and is properly seated. Extreme temperatures can also affect performance; move the camera to a more moderate environment.
