Brinno TLC300 Outdoor Time-Lapse Camera

easy to use, no phone app needed, but limited quality

This was easy to set up and intuitive with the very basic menus, with no app needed, which was great! It comes with an 16GB SD card and batteries, so it's ready to go! Camera by itself is weatherproof and held up in heavy rain, even without the waterproof cover which comes with some packages priced $50 higher. Downsides are that the field of view is very wide (probably about 16mm equivalent) so you have to put the camera quite close to construction activity if you want to be up close to the action (at greater risk to the camera getting run over). Also the video resolution just feels low resolution and highly processed, and not crisp and sharp. Wish there was a higher quality 4k Brinno version like this, but I also purchased an Afidus timelapse camera to fill that niche.
