What happens here

Learn how to quickly set up the Afidus ATL-200. First, turn on the camera. Then, open the Afidus mobile app on your smartphone, connect to the camera's Wi-Fi network (the camera acts as its own hotspot), and access the live preview. Use the app to adjust crucial settings like optical zoom and manual focus, ensuring your shot is perfectly framed. You can also customize the time stamp and choose various capture intervals, such as every 5-10 seconds for short projects (one day) or longer intervals like 1 minute for extended projects (a week or more).

Goal: Successfully connect the camera to its app and set initial recording parameters.

long-term battery life we're talking many hours weeks months depending on your capture okay so wait a minute you can't tell me that I could set this out on a job site and work on a project for a week solid and that this I don't never have to charge this battery up so you can set this up and 45 days later like if I'm building this house yep if I come in and day 44 it'll still be doing time okay how easy is this for the average guy to figure out and operate nicely but this one it's all Wi-Fi in Africa okay so it's a matter of turning the camera on it beeps and then you pull out the app on your phone so green means call green means go okay you what's the name of the app app it is so I'm looking for the fittest Network here I'm tapping on the fittest network so it's connecting to the camera says it's connected I flipped to the app and then there's the preview okay so you can actually see what you're gonna be shooting on your phone yep you can you go wide screen and the amazing feature about this camera is that you've got the ability to zoom optical zoom autofocus and manual focus so if you're changing that tire but you can then pinch to them let me set this on here yeah we got a tripod sitting right there let's use it does this actually have a tripod holder on them yep quarter-twenty on the bottom so let's get the same holder that's running my camera right now right we can turn the time stamp off we can customize the time stamp within the settings but we simply set our capture interval so if you want to capture say every this is so easy even I could figure this out so if you want to capture every 5 seconds which might what do you recommend well it depends on the job if you're doing a job that's one day long you might be down at 5 or 10 seconds and if you're doing a job that's a week long you might be in a minute a minute would give you 90 seconds of footage for a week how much footage would a one day job one day job captures every 10 seconds characters every time how much footage are you gonna get out of that probably about a minute and a half and there are calculators that tell you exactly how to do that ok you know how many hours your project is and in fact a calculator I think is coming to be built into the app here and then one of the next version so that'll be really nice to have and is that in the fitness app no this is the official sample yeah okay these guys and me have never touched a time-lapse camera before other than our phones prep walk us through…
