Timelapsebox
From Eth0Wiki
The idea is to have a self contained box that anyone can build, and change that can be setup on a field / in a building before anyone else comes in. Starts taking pictures trough any and all connected webcams/camera's and stores a timelapse on its storage media.
This box would stay online during the entire event and easily and without any extra steering needed create a nice timelapse video for every connected camera.
