The DigiSnap Pro is a complete system controller for long term time-lapse photography. Power management, camera control, operator interface, and networking are all built into a very compact, low power package. Autonomous or networked operation are both well supported! See attached. DigiSnap Pro: time-lapse system controller
The Cyclapse Pro is a complete system, using the new DigiSnap Pro in our great Cyclapse housing. Cyclapse Classic & Pro systems
The list of features is extensive, and I strongly believe that they will suffice for any time-lapse application, whether it's on a typical construction site anywhere on the planet, or transmitting images from a floating iceberg in the North Atlantic. I'll list a few of the features here:
- Automated Image Transfer (WiFi / 3G-4G / Ethernet / Satellite Terminal)
- Status Emails, sent periodically or when there is a problem detected (camera, humidity, ...)
- Dual battery connections supporting several battery pack chemistries
- Charge from a range of power sources: Solar panel, battery bank, AC adapter, PoE
- Reconfigure from a distance using a smartphone or tablet
- Power, control and extract images from essentially all SLR cameras
- Additional connections for sensors and external power control
- Local storage capability: hard-drive in the housing, or flash-drive attached to long USB cable
Harbortronics was one of the very first companies to offer a complete time-lapse camera system intended for years in the outdoors. Admittedly, we've been slow to offer integrated networking features, but we now have perhaps the best hardware in the business. We can use essentially any camera you prefer, including medium format. Our equipment will operate well from small solar panels, not large solar arrays!
There are now a number of companies offering solutions, and it may be difficult to differentiate them from afar. I've structured our products and our business to be open and flexible. You own the equipment outright, no rental fees. If you choose to use networking to transfer images to your own cloud storage (your option), you pay us no monthly fees for the privilege. The images are yours—we do not assume any rights to those images for our own use. Our website lists all prices. We are happy to talk on the phone or via email but we never use 'hard sell' tactics nor suggest confusing plans. I believe we are the only equipment supplier that can say all of this!

After 15 years of production, Harbortronics is discontinuing the DigiSnap 2100. The last remaining model of the DigiSnap 2000 series is the DigiSnap 2700.
September 14, 2016
Attention customers with our network transfer option: Eye-Fi will discontinue their relayed transfer service on September 16, 2016. If your camera depends on an Internet connection to transfer files, no Eye-Fi products will work for you after September 16, 2016. One alternative is to use the Toshiba FlashAir card's scripting features to upload images to an FTP server. Learn more about it here: https://cyclapse.com/ftp-upload-with-flashair/

"I'm sold. You're too knowledgable for me not to go with you and Harbortronics. I really appreciate the quickness of your response and the hyper-detail."C.
“SUCCESS !! The converter you sent works as well as the attached 10.5 app. I used the old converter again and it shows no connection so that was the problem. Mark takes a lot of blame when it's not his fault. I really appreciate the great customer service. You guys go well beyond.”Doug P.

Other than that, all 6 packages have run perfectly well. (this was 2.5 years)"Maria in Perú
