photoSentinel Tempo
Our most powerful system ever.
The definitive timelapse system
The photoSentinel Tempo is our most powerful timelapse system ever.
The combination of advanced scheduling, remote camera control, professional HTML5 gallery and unrivalled power management make it the definitive system for long-term timelapse.
Engineered for performance
Engineered for performance, the timelapse controller will reliably capture and upload thousands of photos, for years on end.
The high speed modem allows you to receive status updates, get photos, and change settings, all over the cellular network, fast.


Powerful, advanced scheduling
Tempo’s advanced scheduling lets you create shooting regimes that perfectly match your project.
With the flexible scheduling options you can:
- Set different regimes for each day of the week.
- Shoot fast during the day and upload overnight.
- Pre-schedule config changes for future events.
- And much, much more!

Control of camera settings
Don’t be limited to a couple of sliders that let you control just a few basic settings.
By giving you direct remote access to the camera, Tempo allows control of a much wider range of camera settings.
And, with advanced scheduling, you can even pre-schedule changes to camera settings weeks in advance.
Custom-branded gallery
View your photos on any device with the professional HTML5 gallery.
- Customise gallery appearance with your branding.
- Search by date through the full archive of images.
- Overlay and compare any two photos.
- Generate an instant timelapse of recent site activity.


Built for the roughest conditions
With the rugged IP-66 housing and temperature-tested electronics, you can deploy Tempo to the harshest of climates, job after job.
Peace-of-mind status reporting
Monitor your system with continuous status updates and detailed diagnostic reporting.
Active email alerts, SMS notifications and a fleet-wide Alerts dashboard give you visibility on anything that requires your attention.

Power solution for every project
Tempo’s efficient electronics are powered by a compact lithium-ion battery, kept charged by a single, lightweight 20W solar panel.
Other power options include dual solar, weatherproof AC and large-capacity external battery pack.
