Time lapse feature
I have a few Ring stick-up cam’s (battery) and I’m hoping this .gif comes through properly, but what I would love to see is a feature where you can set up the camera to take screenshots and then store them in a folder where you can later compile them into animated .gif’s. It’s really an awesome capability and you could totally brag that up as one of the cool features of Ring. I love the system, I don’t know how else to get this .gif for you to see. The way I did this one is I took a screenshot every day for a month and them combined them into a .gif. If Ring built this feature in, you could set up your timelapse how you wanted and have it done automatically. Imagine setting one up where someone was building a house or overhauling a car? The ramifications are pretty awesome.

Hi,
I love the idea of snapshots - they are really cool, and I really want to download snapshots to create and save a movie of how things changed during the day. However the current option to download/share by default only seems to allow you to get 15 minutes - and you cannot select the time (you can position the cursor but not sure how the time “range” is selected).
So here is my suggestion to enable this:
When I select “share” on the device to download the snapshots - allow me to enter the start time and end time for the snapshots - then download all snapshots between the two times into a movie on my device.
Yes, please add this feature. It would be nice to access the snapshots online from my PC as it would be a lot easier to do.
Nest already has a feature like that. I thought Ring would also have it, only to find it doesn’t. It’ll be great to have a feature like that not only for capturing a construction but also to quickly review the event across multiple days.

Here’s a time lapse video that I created using 30 second Snapshot Captures from one of my Stick Up Cam Elites.
I turned these individual snapshots into a video by using the built-in screen recorder on my iPad. Then I imported the video into the LumaFusion app and increased the speed.
It would be awesome if we could download a “time lapse” video from the pictures taken between recorded events. Ive had many beautiful sunrises taken with these pictures, and no way to download a video!
It would be great if we could specify intervals for a camera and have snapshots saved in interval folders to create Time-lapse videos/animated gifs. Or just be able to specify a time frame to save snapshots and have software to create a from-to/interval video. I love the views I get from a few of my cameras and it would be fun to do something with them beyond security.
This would be really cool, I have a spotlight cam on my back garden and a time lapse video of the garden over a year or six month would show the seasons changing and how much the garden has changed
I’d like to use my ring camera to shoot a timelapse video of a construction site under my window. I set up my device to take a snapshot as frequently as possible (I think it is every 15 minutes or so) and was very disappointed to find out there is no way to even download the images in bulk (never-mind as a timelapse video). There is also no way to filter the timeline for only snapshots. It is such a glaring omission that I wonder if it is intentional to discourage this usage scenario (although I can’t see a reason why it would be).
