Webcams

Is it possible to have a webcam page on the webpages? I am thinking that a webcan could take images or short video , save to a folder and be uploaded everytime there is a webupdate of the Cumulus data. Perhaps an additional page after Trends .

There is a whole section on the forum for webcams. Have you already had a look through those topics? There is plenty of guidance in there.

Hi rfg,

Its reasonably easy to create a webpage that Cumulus will update as part of the upload schedule.
I use TinCam to capture images from my webcam and automatically upload to my server for display in my Webcam page. TinCam will update your webpage with pictures or a live video stream. It provides interval updates, scheduled updates, motion detection, live video streaming, and supports multiple cameras. You can incorporate captions and overlays into your images. It will create Web pages, FTP images automatically and act as an image server. You can have an e-mail sent on motion detection, create a picture history on a Web site and create a series of thumbnails on your Web site. TinCam allows you to rotate, sharpen or soften pictures before uploading, and records AVI videos with compression. It's not free but it is reasonably inexpensive. I know others on the forum are using Image Salsa and Yawcam (free) with good results. Have a look at the webcam forum topics here https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=19.
Have fun
