### 5/5 — Best time-lapse app

*2023-04-21, version 1.1.362*

I used IP cameras for time lapse recording before. This app is much easier, and the camera quality is better. The website can generate time lapse video, and publish the camera.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your great feedback! Using a smartphone for time-lapse recording indeed has a few advantages such as: (1) Better image quality; (2) Built-in 4G/5G Mobile Data connection. In other cases, you can also use a regular IP camera for time-lapse recording. Many construction companies use our time-lapse recording service. CameraFTP has special service plans optimized for time-lapse recording. Please visit this feature page for more info. You can also watch the tutorial video:
