UniFi Protect Time-lapse

This project has moved to LuxUPT — a complete rewrite with a web interface, real-time monitoring, and much more.

What Changed

This CLI-only tool has been replaced by LuxUPT (Lux UniFi Protect Timelapse), a full-featured application with:

• Web UI — Dashboard, camera management, image browser, timelapse viewer, and system settings — all from your browser
• RTSP + API capture — Choose per-camera between API snapshots and RTSP stream capture for the best resolution
• Automatic scheduling — Daily timelapse creation with configurable cameras, intervals, and encoding settings
• Job system — Create timelapses on-demand with real-time progress tracking
• Live statistics — Capture success rates, duration charts, and per-camera performance metrics
• Multi-site support — Run multiple instances for different UniFi Protect systems

Everything from the original — rate limiting, camera distribution, automatic discovery — is still there, now managed through the UI instead of environment variables.
