A method for generating time-lapse representation of video footage in a security/automation system is described. In one embodiment, the method may include receiving video from a camera at a location associated with a home automation system, determining a first motion event in the video, identifying a level of priority associated with the first motion event, and generating a time-lapse representation of the video having a first frame rate for a first part of the time-lapse representation of the video and a second frame rate different from the first frame rate for a second part of the time-lapse representation of the video that includes the first motion event. In some cases, the time-lapse representation of the video may be generated based at least in part on the level of priority associated with the first motion event.
