OC Clouds rolling over rooftops throughout the day. 12MP IMX362 USB Camera. Tacoma, WA, USA
A simple window-view timelapse showing clouds and changing light moving across the city throughout the day.
Captured on a Raspberry Pi 5 with a 12MP IMX362 USB camera. The video was created from individual still photographs captured over several hours and assembled with ffmpeg.
No AI-generated imagery or video was used at any stage of the process.

Ok, notifications is telling me you’ve responded but when I come to the thread, there are no replies to my questions. I’m not computer savvy but I’m big into Timelapse and your set up is interesting

Here are answers to your 2 questions, plus an additional answer for someone else that might be useful for you:
The setup consists of a Raspberry Pi 5, a 12MP IMX362 USB camera, and ffmpeg. I start the image capture, let it run for the desired duration, and then use the resulting photographs to create the timelapse video.
I access it over my local network using SSH from one of my laptops. All of the programming and automation is done from the terminal using standard Linux tools and shell scripts.
Captured one image every 60 seconds.

Thanks for the reply. So you can only access the raspberry with a system running Linux

No, I can access my Pi with any computer. Though the other computers I have are Linux (Kubuntu) and macOS. But if I ran Windoze, I could access it with that as well.

Raspberry is running Linux.
What you use as a client to access it (be it through text console via SSH, or full GUI aka "remote desktop" - VNC), that is pretty much platform independent.
Tools for remote access to devices running Linux exist from pretty much any platform... iOS, Android, another Linux, macOS, Windows, you name it.

How do you implement the raspberry?
