Afidus ATL-230 Full HD Time Lapse Camera
The Afidus ATL-230 is the latest evolution of the award-winning ATL-200S, a time-lapse camera that has set the standard in its category for over five years. Retaining the core strengths that made the ATL-200S a favourite, such as the powerful Sony Starvis HDR sensor, MP4 output, and 1635mm optical zoom lens, the ATL-230 builds on this foundation with many new features and refinements. Its a more innovative, rugged, and versatile camera designed for creators, contractors, and professionals who need reliable, long-term time-lapse capture in any environment.
Among the most notable upgrades is a redesigned weather-resistant housing with improved sealing and a waterproof USB port, allowing the ATL-230 to operate worry-free outdoors, even with external power or solar connections. A new silicone sleeve provides added protection when needed. The camera also features a new SD card location for easier accesssomething seasoned users will immediately appreciate. The updated hardware and firmware introduce hot-swappable power options, power pack shutdown avoidance, and an intelligent recording pause-and-resume function during power interruptions.
A significant innovation is hands-free Wi-Fi activation, which allows you to connect to the camera remotely at a scheduled time each day. This makes it possible to check battery status, change settings, or download footage without climbing ladders or using liftsideal for hard-to-reach installations. Additionally, the AE Optimizer sensor intelligently adapts to changing light conditions, such as sunrise or sunset, to prevent exposure flickerensuring smooth, professional-quality footage.
For the first time, manual controls are available on an Afidus camera. With the latest firmware, users can fine-tune exposure (1 to 1/8000 sec), ISO (10012,800), and white balance (1500K15,000K), giving advanced users complete creative control over their shoots. Combined with features like motion detection, a macro focus distance of just 1 inch, one-tap autofocus with manual override, and the ability to operate unattended for weeks or months, the ATL-230 is one of the most capable cameras in its class.
Another standout is the Afidus-exclusive image alignment tool, simplifying camera repositioning after battery swaps or adjustments. You can ensure precise alignment without guesswork by overlaying a previous frame as a wireframe. The camera also includes advanced file protection and recoveryif power is lost and a video file becomes corrupted, simply reinserting the card into the camera allows the system to repair it automatically using the built-in IDX file.
The ATL-230 supports multi-range scheduling with up to four time slots per day and includes a built-in time-lapse calculator within the Afidus app. This helps you plan shoots down to the second without having to do manual math. With intuitive app control, pinch-to-zoom preview, full-screen live view, and a simple user experience, the ATL-230 offers a professional-grade time-lapse solution thats powerful yet approachable.
If you need 4K resolution, the ATL-800i offers that next step. But for most projectsfrom construction and outdoor installations to environmental monitoring and creative filmmakingthe Afidus ATL-230 delivers exceptional quality, ease of use, and reliability at an unmatched price point. This is time-lapse, perfected.
