Ok,

Finally got my webcam hooked up and running.

I have it set to update the image approx every 5seconds
It is scheduled ON during the daylight hours and OFF at night time
when it's dark.

Looking good :)

Sorry, no banner - weather station out of action. Hoping to be up and running with a new home-made one soon.
