Product Information

Full details

The Brinno BCC 300M Construction Timelapse Camera Kit is designed for professionals and hobbyists alike who need to capture long-term outdoor projects, such as construction, gardening, or DIY builds, in full HD. Its primary benefit is the exceptional 100-day battery life with a 5-minute interval, minimizing the need for frequent battery changes. A key consideration is that it produces a timelapse video directly, rather than individual photos, which may require adjustment for some workflows. This kit provides a rugged, waterproof solution for reliable, high-quality timelapse recording in diverse environmental conditions, featuring HDR for day-to-night capture and a user-friendly interface.

FAQs

How long does the battery typically last?

With 4 AA batteries and a 5-minute capture interval, the camera can last up to 100 days. Battery life will vary based on interval settings, temperature, and battery type.

What is the maximum capacity of the Micro SD card?

The Brinno BCC 300M supports Micro SD cards with a capacity of up to 128GB.

Does the camera take photos or create a video file?

The camera automatically creates a timelapse video file directly. It does not save individual photos.

Can I view the recorded footage without removing the SD card?

Yes, you can review the footage directly on the camera's 1.44-inch IPS LCD screen.

Is the camera suitable for indoor use?

While designed for outdoor use with its rugged and waterproof housing, the Brinno BCC 300M can certainly be used indoors for projects like DIY builds or observing indoor changes.

What is the field of view?

The camera has a field of view of 118 degrees.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Brinno BCC 300M comes with a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase against defects.

Troubleshooting

Camera not turning on

Ensure 4 AA batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Check that the battery compartment is securely closed.

No video being recorded

Verify that a compatible Micro SD card is inserted and formatted. Check that the capture interval and schedule settings are correctly configured and that the camera is set to record.

Poor image quality or blurry footage

Ensure the lens is clean and free from dust or smudges. Confirm the camera is securely mounted and not subject to excessive vibration. Check if HDR is enabled for challenging lighting.

Battery life is significantly shorter than advertised

Use high-quality alkaline or fully charged rechargeable AA batteries. Ensure the capture interval is not set too frequently (e.g., less than 1 minute) and that the camera is not operating in extreme temperatures.

Water ingress despite waterproof housing

Check that the housing's seals are clean and undamaged before closing. Ensure the housing is properly latched. The housing is water-resistant (IPX4), not fully waterproof; avoid submersion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extended battery life of up to 100 days significantly reduces maintenance.
Durable, waterproof housing ensures reliability in outdoor conditions.
High-quality Full HD 1080p video with HDR provides excellent image clarity.
Simple setup and operation with an intuitive, multilingual interface.
Direct timelapse video output saves post-processing time.

Cons

Produces a finished timelapse video, not individual photos, which may not suit all editing needs.
Requires 4 AA batteries, which are consumables and will eventually need replacement.
The fixed 118° field of view may not be wide enough for very expansive scenes without careful placement.
1-year warranty is standard but could be longer for professional-grade equipment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Install 4 AA batteries into the camera.
Insert a Micro SD card (up to 128GB) into the designated slot.
Attach the camera to the waterproof housing (ATH120).
Mount the camera assembly using the provided wall mount (AWM100) or bungee cords, ensuring the desired field of view.
Turn on the camera and use the 1.44" IPS LCD screen to adjust settings: select the capture interval (e.g., 5 minutes), set the recording schedule (days and times), and choose the language.
Press 'OK' to begin recording.

Compatibility:

Storage: Supports Micro SD cards up to 128GB.
Power: Requires 4 AA batteries (alkaline or rechargeable NiMH recommended for longevity).
Environmental: IPX4 water-resistant housing protects against splashes. Operating temperature range should be considered based on local climate.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the camera lens and housing with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For tougher smudges, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Storage: When not in use, store the camera in a cool, dry place with the lens cover attached.
Battery Maintenance: Replace batteries when low power is indicated. Consider using high-quality alkaline or rechargeable batteries for best performance and longevity.
