> Do you think this would be appropriate for turning into a long form video?

Time-lapses are certainly one of the intended use-cases. I still need to add video-export features to the companion app though. Right now it only supports exporting images.

> Anyway to know when it’s about to write over itself in storage?

Currently it silently overwrites the oldest photos once the storage is filled, but I've been thinking it should have a setting to prevent that.

When the battery gets below 2%, the device enters "battery trap", where it stops capturing images and simply blinks the red LED every 5 seconds. Maybe there should be an optional setting to enter that mode when the storage is filled. Would that work for you?




I could always just use ffmpeg to turn into a video.

Blinking when full would work. I think it’d also be helpful to know when that might be- like could I see the expected date somehow based on the rate of capture? Maybe that’s too niche of a feature.
