Built to Stay Out There
Chronos Edge is engineered for autonomous DSLR and mirrorless time-lapse photography in demanding environments.
Autonomous Operation
Operate unattended for months or years with intelligent power management and solar charging.
Professional Imaging
Built around DSLR and mirrorless cameras for RAW image quality and interchangeable lenses.
Remote Connectivity
Automatic FTP, Dropbox, email reporting and remote software updates keep projects moving.
No Vendor Lock-In
Use your own server, your own network, and your own workflow. No required subscriptions.
Designed for Long-Term Deployment
Long-term time-lapse projects demand more than exceptional image quality. They demand reliability. Once deployed, Chronos Edge is designed to operate independently for months, or even years, with minimal human intervention.
Every aspect of the system is engineered around autonomous operation. Intelligent power management continuously monitors battery levels, charging conditions, and system activity. When necessary, Edge automatically reduces power consumption while protecting the integrity of your project.
Edge supports a wide range of battery configurations, from compact portable installations to large off-grid systems capable of operating for years without battery replacement. Integrated solar charging, intelligent sleep modes, and adaptive power management work together to maximize runtime while maintaining dependable image capture.
The result is a system designed to quietly do its job, day after day, season after season, while you focus on the project instead of the camera.
Remote Offload, Field Reports, and Instant Preview
EdgeLink automatically transfers images after scheduled capture sessions, allowing projects to be monitored without visiting the camera. Whether the system is deployed across town or hundreds of miles away, your images are delivered using the workflow that best fits your project.
Detailed status reports provide a complete snapshot of every deployment, including battery history, storage usage, upload statistics, camera information, and the latest preview image. If battery levels fall, uploads fail, or the system detects an unexpected event, EdgeLink can notify you immediately.
Every offload session also generates a preview video of the newly captured footage, allowing you to verify framing, camera operation, and project progress in minutes. This provides valuable peace of mind during long-term deployments, helping you identify problems early without downloading thousands of full-resolution images or making unnecessary trips to the camera.
EdgeLink supports direct FTP servers, Dropbox, local network transfers, and email reporting. There are no required subscriptions or proprietary cloud services. For plug-and-play cellular deployments, we recommend the T-Mobile TCL LINKPORT IK511 5G USB modem where T-Mobile coverage is available.
Image Quality Matters
Built for Real Cameras
Most dedicated time-lapse systems are built around tiny fixed-lens sensors, wide-angle compromises, and cloud-first convenience. Edge takes a different approach.
More pixels don't automatically produce better images. Larger sensors and professional optics capture dramatically more usable detail, richer color, greater dynamic range, and cleaner low-light performance. Combined with professional DSLR and mirrorless cameras capable of resolutions approaching 10K, Edge delivers image quality that simply isn't possible with miniature fixed-lens camera systems.
Bigger Sensors
Larger sensors capture more detail, cleaner shadows, better highlights, and stronger low-light performance than miniature fixed-lens camera modules.
Real Lens Choice
Ultra-wide construction views, telephoto wildlife work, macro, tilt-shift, specialty glass — Edge does not lock your project into one tiny lens.
Professional Files
Capture JPEG, RAW, or both. Keep full-resolution originals for editing, archival, scientific review, marketing, litigation support, or final delivery.
Convenience cameras are fine when convenience is the product. Edge is for projects where the image is the product.
Intelligent Capture
Edge was designed to manage complete long-term productions, not simply trigger a shutter. Multiple scheduling modes can work together, allowing capture by interval, time of day, sunrise and sunset, or combinations of all three.
As daylight hours change throughout the year, solar-based schedules automatically adjust without requiring user intervention.
Environmental Intelligence
Edge records more than images. Throughout a deployment, the system logs environmental and battery history, giving you context for the conditions surrounding your project.
Up to 400 days of history can be stored on the system, including battery behavior, charging performance, and environmental data. Impact detection can also alert you if the system is bumped, disturbed, or changes orientation in the field.
Your Project. Your Data. Your Workflow.
Professional workflows should not be forced through a proprietary cloud. Edge gives you control over where your footage goes and how your project is managed.
Upload directly to your own FTP server, NAS, Dropbox, local network, or keep every image completely offline. Your data never has to pass through a third-party service unless you choose it.
Whether you're working on a secure construction project, scientific research, broadcast production, or simply prefer complete ownership of your footage, Edge adapts to your workflow instead of forcing you into ours.
Built Around Your Project
Edge was not designed as a fixed product. It was designed as a platform that continues to evolve alongside the people using it.
New firmware releases add capabilities, refine workflows, and expand compatibility based on real-world deployments. Many of Edge's current features were developed directly from customer feedback in the field.
For specialized projects, we can also discuss custom firmware development and hardware modifications, including unique optics, specialized sensors, custom enclosures, or entirely new workflows.
