webcam battery or solar powered

Post by alexvanuxem »

Hi

I'm looking for a not costly wifi webcam, preferably with batteries or a solar panel (no power socket available)
that is easily can be configured within my websites.

https://sint-katelijne-waver-meteo.be/template/
https://sint-katelijne-waver-meteo.be/pwsWD/

or that meteobridge can capture the pic and send them through.

time-lapse feature is a plus.

Any ideas??

thx

Alex

Hi, I see you did not include CUtils in your links though it exists. If you wish to maintain that site you might consider the HP10 by Ecowitt. Ecowitt itself maintains time-lapse (7 days available). Cheap.

For other situations a simple configuration of a webcam image is available thus any webcam which is able to upload an image regularly can be used.

Webcam definitely is highly dependent of what you want: some want high resolution real-time streaming, some are satisfied with just an interval image of the sky/clouds. I'd say: keep it simple, it's just an image
