Brinno BCC2000 Construction Time Lapse Camera Bundle with TLC2000 Camera

****bought this in 2020. I believe it’s critical to do the firmware update when you receive it or it may not work right. I recall that it took a few attempts to get the update to work so follow instructions carefully. Following that, I bought a 128gig mini SD and mounted the cam inside the enclosure up in a tree for two constriction projects. The first build lasted almost a year. Every two weeks or so I’d climb a ladder and pull out the SD card, get the footage, and replace the batteries. I think the batteries and SD would have gone quite a bit longer but I didn’t want to lose any days. Today I finished the footage on the second build. Both times the cam worked flawlessly. Crisp time lapse footage!

Couldn't be more disappointed with the Brinno BCC2000 Plus Construction Camera Bundle. I purchased it to record a large custom home build. Spent time carefully setting up the camera in the perfect location to capture all the activity. Checked on it for the first couple of days, all seemed fine. I had a recording for each day. All seemed okay. Decided to leave it for a few weeks, when I went to download the videos, all but the last day was missing. I now have missed all of the ground preparation and foundation work for the project. They claim it is "set and forget", well it isn't. Now my video record of the project is so woefully incomplete, and the camera is still missing multiple days of the project, I am considering abandoning the project. What a waste of time and money!!! Please pass on the Brinno cameras and find a better, more reliable camera for your long term video projects. Reached out to Brinno for support after the first time I missed several days of activity. Never heard anything from them. Now it is too late. Complete loss!

Great product. Works as promised. Not very intuitive when it comes to starting time lapse. You think it’s on and it’s not. Pay attention to the beeps.

In many ways I really like this product - but it has its problems. This is really a combo package of the ATH2000 housing and the TLC2000 camera. Good/Pros of TLC2000 camera: - good camera quality – great HD picture quality. - excellent low power use when in standby / timer mode Bad/Cons of TLC2000 camera: - my timer setting was to record daytime on weekdays, but found morning video at end of previous day – it’s all there but not in the right video file - crazy - wish it was 4k - wish it would auto-upload via Ethernet - when power is off camera forgets all its settings Good/Pros of ATH2000 housing: - very good configurable interior space – quite flexible - provision for power cable through bottom of case - room for moisture absorbing packets Bad/Cons ATH2000 housing: - housing lens window must be layered or something as it has water residue inside it now – camera pictures are still usable but they’re a bit compromised – can’t be cleaned – window glued in and not easily replaceable - battery holder for 16 batteries is a piece of junk (although it has clever electronics) – started coming apart fairly quickly. Replacing batteries is a time-consuming unpleasant chore. However, I found on Amazon an “always-on” USB charge pack (Voltaic Systems V50) that fits inside the case with a right-angle cable and that doesn’t shut down when the camera is on stand-by between timer events; this has made life far, far easier and more pleasant. I can charge the pack while still connected to the camera so the camera doesn’t forget its settings. Soon I will be switching to a POE high res camera with auto-upload to my file server, but this camera was quickly and easily deployed to get started, takes good pictures, and the 3rd party battery pack gets me about 2 weeks of 5 day daytime video.

I'll update when I've played more, but so far, I'm pretty impressed. The instructions could be a bit easier, but if your buying this camera, I suspect your a but tech savvy and should be able to figure it out. What I've learned from reading review and my 3 day experience. 1. READ and FOLLOW this instruction. Format your SD Card, and install the firmware update which is easily found on Brinnos web page. 2 . About the SD Card: As I read from another reviewer, the Brinno description is very misleading. Yes you get an SD card, but its 8gb. Enough to learn and play with, but not enough for a big project. For $600.00, I would have liked to see a 128gb card included. I was aware of this ahead of time from a review, so I bought one at the time of purchase. If I'm buying a $600 camera, $25 more isn't going to break the bank. 3. Buying an SD card for your camera: Not all SD cards are created equal. I found this out the hard way in my GoPro Days. Do yourself a huge favor, visit Brinno's web page and buy a recommended SD card. This will likely solve any corrupt file issues. 4. I haven't used the waterproof enclosure yet, but it looks pretty sturdy. I'm happy to see they included moisture absorbing pads in the kit. Nice touch. 5. Clamp mount: I just starting playing with this, but its a beast. Much heavier than I expected it to be. It looks like it will, but I hope it holds out in the weather. 6. Making a finished product: Understand that you will have to get your own video editor software to stich the files together. Not to worry, there are plenty of free versions online. I researched, downloaded and stitched my first set of files together in under an hour.

i wanted to post this because I’ve noticed some people having issues. I bought this camera for personal use. I’m not real tech savvy but was able to figure it out. I do photography on the side as a hobby and wanted to capture seasonal changes on my property. I wanted to find something I could leave for long periods of time but couldn’t find anything that could do that. So far I have been pleased with the battery life. I did have one hiccup, I had filmed some stuff around the house to test the camera out and had some issues with corrupt files. I wasn’t sure what that meant so I called my son who works on computers. He told me to contact the manufacturer, which I did, and they were able to walk me through an update for the software. The camera has worked out well for me so far and I will continue to use it.

I ordered these products for a professional application - long term, exterior time lapse. I read about them several on the company's website. According to the site, it seemed like a perfectly suited item to my application. I never really found out, because out of the box I hit one issue after another. I ordered 3 units. I read all the instructions first. I won't detail every issue I had - but the first unit I opened crashed while formatting a new card. The card was the specs per their website. Then, I couldn't get it to turn back on. After a while it did turn on, but then crashed again. The 2nd seemed to format the card. Again, having completely read about the product on their site, realized there was a firmware update. So, I downloaded that, followed the directions and found that the 2nd camera seemed to format the card, but the file structure wasn't there for me to put the new firmware on. So, I created it but the camera wouldn't read the card. Finally, after a lot of attempts, I got the firmware on the card and followed the directions to install it. Short story - didn't work, even after several attempts. I went to the site and called the "Hotline"... went to a weird voicemail. So, tried again to be sure, double checked the number, and got the same. So, I left a message with my number. No call back (this is days later, still no call back). Finally, and this should tell you about their QC and overall attention to detail: The weatherproof housing has a battery holder so that you can power the camera over an extended period of time. It has the wrong connector! It doesn't interface with the camera! Useless!! This company did a very good job with their site and marketing. When you get the box, it's like getting something from Apple - cool packaging, sleek, looks like good stuff... just like their website. But, it's a bunch of smoke and mirrors. I'd say this - if you're looking for something to play around with at home - more of an inexpensive toy camera to do time lapse with, then this might be okay for that. But, in no way is it ready for anything more than that. I found that there is no inexpensive option for doing high quality, extended, exterior time lapse.

We purchased for a multi-million dollar plant update. This camera has long-term capabilities with the 16 AA battery bank. I have tested for several weeks and the video is adequate. The camera creates the AVI files no larger than 500Mb and you can set the lapse intervals. Not the high quality video as our GoPro but better for the long-term shots.

I have had a outdoor building project which I wanted to film over several months - and found the camera to work extremely well. The weather has been abysmal over the winter, but the waterproof case, which I bought with the camera, has kept it bone dry and the lithium battery life has been exceptional. One final point: I lost the rubber lens cap but couldn't find one online, so got in touch with support who were happy to send me two spares all the way from China at no cost. Good service indeed!

商品スペックには以下のように記載されているにも関わらず、広角撮影しかできませんでした。レンズ交換には対応しているようですが、交換レンズは高価ですし、防水ケースとの干渉リスクもあります。かなり広角で固定されていて不便なのでレンズを追加購入するつもりです。 ズーム倍率 (光学) 20 x 焦点距離 (広角側) 18 ミリメートル 焦点距離 (望遠側) 35 ミリメートル

Me fallo una de las dos cámaras que compre, como puedo hacer valida alguna garantía? Saludos

4 k wäre toll - absehbar ?

We used them at a construction site to capture the building process very impressive I Love the batteries that last so long you can just let the cameras run!! The cameras have a lot of features. We love the footage of our project.
