My webcam finally caught a lightning bolt!!

I was worried the auto contrast wouldn't let me get them, but then I got this last night.

Thanks!!

If I didn't have that tree there I would have caught a couple more. Can anyone lend me a big chainsaw??

Hi Phil,

I like your webcam page a lot and would love to have the same

but I don't have the time or knowledge to set it up now.

For now I just have one question which concerns how you've setup yawcam to capture throughout the day but also have the ability to have motion detection overnight - How do you do it?

Thanks

Edit - I've got my brain in gear and found it

Hi Neil

Your more than welcome to my HTML code, I have mostly copied it from other people anyway. I can email you any pages you want. The only thing is the replay requires a licensed product that costs about $50 AU.

Yawcam has a scheduler built in, so I just schedule the FTP component during the day and the motion detection over night. I just modify the schedule occasionally as the days get shorter or longer. Let me know if you want screen shots of the scheduler, but it couldn't be easier to use.

Hi Phil,

Many thanks for the kind offer, I may well take you up on it

Yes, I found the scheduler and realised that was the missing info I needed.

The MS HD camera is really good and I'm glad I followed yours and Gina's lead.

Thanks again
