Yes, a USB Type-C cable and wall adapter can be used to power the camera. For more details, please refer to FAQ category "EXTERNAL POWER".

The battery life of the TLC2000 depends mainly on the Capture Interval of your choice. Please refer to “Time Lapse Calculator” on our website.

The estimated battery life is tested under certain conditions (shown at the bottom of the page). These conditions vary for different users. Thus, results may vary as conditions change.

Power consumption can be huge when TLC2000 is being turned on/off, during user set up, and when LCD screen is on. The camera will turn to power saving mode during recording and the LCD screen will turn off to preserve power. The use of an external power supply is advised when setting up camera.

The operating temperature range of TLC2000 is between 32°F ∼ 113°F (0°C ∼ 45°C). However, another important factor that might affect camera operation is battery. Please ensure the brand and type of battery being used in the camera is able to operate in your shooting environment long term.

Please take the microSD card out of the camera and read it on a computer. Windows system is recommended.

Some video players are not compatible with the time lapse videos of our cameras. You may use Brinno Video Player or a third-party video player called “VLC” to play time lapse videos.

Some MacOS do not support files in AVI format. If you must use this system, please use a microSD card reader and convert AVI to MP4. Users may download third-party video players like “VLC” or “QuickTime” to convert or play the files.

Some brands and capacities of microSD card are not compatible with TLC2000. Please refer to the “SD Card Compatibility List” on product page. Formatting your microSD card using the TLC2000 camera ( Menu> More> Format SD card ) before recording is advised.

Yes, there is. Please go to “Schedule” to setup the day and time you wish to record. For more detail about this function, please refer to tutorial video: https://youtu.be/JvQHsnZJ8_8(For firmware FW90).

TLC2000 generates new files during the following situations:

1. File size reaches 500MB.
2. Schedule is “on”.

Users can simply use video editors to connect the clips together. If a continuous video file is needed when Schedule is on, upgrading camera firmware to FW90 is advised. There are two extra modes added under Schedule option: Continuous & Daily. By choosing Schedule> Continuous, camera will not generate one file a day.

TLC2000 detects battery power. It saves video and turns itself off automatically when battery is low. Furthermore, the circuit of power supply and file saving are different. Battery power supply does not affect file saving.

TLC2000 auto-combines all the pictures taken into an AVI video when user stops it from recording. It does not save each picture taken into JEPG files.

The LED Indicator on TLC2000 flashes green every ten seconds while it is recording (Note: FW90). It is currently the only way to check if it is still recording.
