Time-lapse video
At Smartwatch Solutions, we specialise in providing cutting-edge time-lapse services tailored to meet the needs of businesses seeking a time-lapse solution.
Our Virtual Project is a managed time-lapse service designed to capture your projects’ progress step by step. An image is captured from a high-definition camera every hour and once complete the images are compressed into a single stop-motion video.
What is time-lapse?
Time-lapse is a technique in photography and videography where frames are captured at a lower frequency than they are played back. This results in a sped-up sequence of events, allowing viewers to witness changes that occur over an extended period in minutes.
Where site management can be difficult to manage remotely, our virtual project service allows you to see site progress through a dedicated time-lapse video.
How do Virtual Projects work?
Using high-definition time-lapse photography, an image of your site is captured from a camera every hour, and compressed into a short video. We can then provide you with an innovative piece of media, showcasing your company’s site developments with live-action photography.
Our service also includes the editing and branding of your video for you to show to your customers, and photo transfers via a 4G connection to our secure server ensuring no risk of data loss.
With our advanced equipment and expertise, we can monitor your assets, properties, and events and safeguard them from unwanted threats. Whether you require long-term monitoring, time-lapse for construction, or event security, our time-lapse security services ensure comprehensive protection.

Time-lapse video – FAQs
Time-lapse videos can last for as little or as long as needed. If you would like to capture the progression of your site from beginning to end over a period of months, your time-lapse could last up to a minute.
Time-lapse videos involve capturing individual frames at scheduled intervals over a period of time. When played back, these frames create a condensed view of time passing quickly, showcasing slow changes that occur over an extended period.
In contrast, sped-up videos are created by recording the footage as normal and then increasing the playback speed during editing, accelerating the footage without altering the intervals between shots.
While both video techniques manipulate time, they do so differently to achieve distinct visual effects that show time passing in distinct ways.
