best interval to capture people is 0.5 sec to 2 sec.. ( or more, depends on what kind of moving you want to get ) to see moving people
BUT
since you are going from day to night, that will not be possible
1. too much time and you will not be able to fit it all on card if you record .5 or 1 second
2. day to night is complicated, and probably if its full night/dark, your pictures will be crap looking.. you have to take in account longer exposure ( you will lose moving people here and get blurry trails of people ) that this camera is not really good at ( like dslr )
 
Thank you. I have made a test in night and you are right. Picture is very crappy.when i record in daytime for 3 hours is it possible ? My sdcard is an empty 64gb class 10 card and i want to charge the camera for the 3 hours . are there any limitations from the camera ?
 
I dont think so.. not sure about that one.. it should be as long as you have free space on card and battery, the camera should take pictures.. dont see any reason why not.. but maybe someone else knows better.. not sure about that
