Timelapse Camera lets you use an old Android phone or tablet as a networked timelapse camera. It can use the front, rear, or both cameras with specified resolutions. It can upload photos to Google Drive or via HTTP(S) POST. It can also save the photos to local storage. You can have it take a photo every minute, every hour, every day, etc.
As most Android devices have a camera, battery and wifi hardware, it does not need any wires to act as a timelapse camera. Depending on your device and time delay between shots, it could potentially run for several weeks without charging.
If you have it save to Google Drive, you can view the saved photos with any other compatible device. Potentially, you could view the photos from the other side of the planet in almost-real-time.
As an option, it can delete old photos from Google Drive. You can select how many old photos to keep and any more than that will be deleted.
There are many options to reduce power use. Wifi can be toggled automatically and the screen can be turned off on newer versions of Android. These don't matter if you can leave power attached.
The scheduling for the camera uses Android's internal "alarm" mechanism so the device can sleep between shots.

If you're having trouble uninstalling, it's likely you authorized the app as an administrator. This status is necessary for turning off the screen to save power. Your device may require you to de-authorize the administrator status before allowing you to uninstall. You may find this in Settings->Security->Device Administrators.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
