When using `hwaccel_args`, hardware encoding is used for timelapse generation. By default, each camera inherits its export hwaccel settings from its own `ffmpeg.hwaccel_args`, which in turn inherits from the global setting. To override for a specific camera (e.g., when camera resolution exceeds hardware encoder limits), set `record.export.hwaccel_args` at the camera level. Using an unrecognized value or empty string will fall back to software encoding (libx264). When using `hwaccel_args`, hardware encoding is used for timelapse generation.

The encoder determines its own behavior so the resulting file size may be undesirably large. The encoder determines its own behavior so the resulting file size may be undesirably large.
To reduce the output file size the ffmpeg parameter `-qp n` can be utilized (where `n` stands for the value of the quantisation parameter). The value can be adjusted to get an acceptable tradeoff between quality and file size for the given scenario.
