Cumulus Support

Yes, I'd like to do such things with my weathercam. At present I have my main weather software gathering data and uploading to the website and a totally separate program to capture and upload the images from my webcam. Webcam images are uploaded every 5 mins day and night. I'm planning to incorporate webcam capture within my software. Then I can do things I want with the image. I could automatically determine when the images want uploading and add a caption etc.

Hi Phil,

I'm using the Yawcam schedule facility so also use its 'offline' facility which will post a specified image on certain events such as stopping ftp, or Yawcam closedown. I overlaid some text into my jpg image then point Yawcam at that as the offline image. I'd prefer to use Toolbox or Cumulus for the ftp but the schedule facility on Yawcam is useful.

Ah excellent! Thanks for that Helen, I've set up an offline message on mine now.

Yep, just seen it!

I've licensed the old version of XMF/SWF Slideshow and now have a ":replay last hour:" option, or if you click on the ":" on the right of this option it will replay the last 24 hours, but there are some bad images from this morning. I'm not sure if it has to do with the offline image, but after the webcam is online again one of more images were missing which stopped the slideshow from working. I'll leave the offline image disabled tonight asnd see if there are any problems tomoz.

I finally got around to doing this, thanks for the idea Beteljuice!

I've been playing around with the motion detection on yawcam and I have scheduled it to turn on after dark. Last night we had a lighning storm pass though and I was pleasantly surprised to find it had caught these images: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~storerfa ... motion.php

Please excuse my amateur php coding, I just copied it from the web.

Hey ... if it works ....
