Time-lapse photography is becoming increasingly popular due to its versatility and convenience. Reolink has launched many time-lapse cameras to meet various demands.

Time lapse is divided into two types: one is for recording future events, and the other is for recording existing events. The features may vary slightly depending on the model version of the camera, and whether it is used with Reolink NVR or Reolink Home Hub.

The following table we will divide it into three scenarios: camera used standalone, camera connected to Reolink NVR, camera connected to Reolink Home Hub. Please check the information below to understand time lapse feature.
