"""
I use PM2 to start my GoPro cameras, using a Raspberry Pi 4, works perfectly.

pm2 start timelapse.py --cron "30 7 * * *" --log timelapse.log --no-autorestart

This script will overrride some settings for reliability:

Voice control: OFF
AutoPower off: NEVER
Beeps: OFF (Do not want the camera beeping at 6AM)

NightLapse configuration left untouched, I recommend always using Auto shutter for sunrise and locking the White Balance to 4000k or higher.
