UPDATE: Brinno has released new firmware for the TLC200 Pro with additional functionality. You will now be able to select a begin and finish time for your time lapse videos, (for example, start at 8 am, finish at 5 pm). Brinno has also added support for Wi-Fi interconnectivity using the popular Eye-Fi Pro X2 SD card, enabling video to be downloaded from your TLC200 Pro via a wireless network. The firmware also allows for fast adjustment to greater variations in light. Firmware updates are downloadable from the manufacturer’s website.

Capture Stunning HDR Time Lapse Video in any Light

The Brinno TLC200 Pro is the world’s first HDR time lapse video camera. With a 1.3 megapixel High Dynamic Range (HDR) image sensor, the TLC200 Pro produces stunning 720p time lapse video under virtually any lighting conditions, from low light to intense backlighting.

HDR Sensor

The TLC200 Pro’s 115 dB high dynamic range (HDR) sensor captures a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than a standard CMOS sensor. The resulting HDR video more accurately portrays the range of intensity levels found in real life, from strong backlighting to faint starlight.
Image quality is primarily determined not by resolution, but by pixel size of the sensor. The TLC200 Pro’s ultra-high pixel size allows you take clear time lapse video even in a low light environment! HDR Sensor Ultra-High Dynamic Range

HDR Video Instantly

The TLC200 Pro produces ready-to-view HDR video at the push of a button with no need to spend hours on post-processing.

Powerful, Yet Simple to Operate

To use, simply set your time interval on the 1.44 inch LCD preview screen, aim, and wait for the video to finish. The interval between frames is selectable between 0.3 seconds and 24 hours. The preview screen allows for accurate targeting of subjects and precise framing of scenes. The TLC200 Pro can be tripod-mounted or simply set on a flat surface. 1. Lens

DSLR Cameras vs. TLC200 Pro for Time Lapse Video

There are two compelling advantages to using the TLC200 Pro rather than a DSLR camera for shooting time lapse video:
Instant Results: With the TLC200 Pro, an AVI video file is created in the camera during recording, which results in files being downloadable in seconds, not hours, with no stitching or converting required.
Shutter Life of DSLR Cameras: The average shutter life of a DSLR camera is 100,000 shots. Depending on the time interval used, you could reach this number within hours or days of shooting time lapse with your expensive DSLR camera.

Multiple Viewing Options

To View on a Windows 98 and later PC:

1. Transfer video via a micro USB cable, or
2. Transfer via the included 4 GB SD card (up to 32 GB supported)

To view on an OTG-equipped smart phone:

1. Use Brinno’s optional OTG Card Reader to retrieve your video from the camera’s SD card, or
2. Use a micro USB cable to retrieve the video file from the camera

Doubles as a Stop Action Camera

You can create stop action movies using the optional external shutter release, sold separately.

To create a stop action movie using optional external shutter release:

1. Build the scene
2. Attach shutter release and position the camera
3. Shoot, moving objects slightly between each shot
4. View and share! Your stop action video is stored on the SD card
