I just recently purchased a Loftek Nexus 543. I just got a website up and running but still under construction. For thoughs that have a website and have there web cam on there. How do you have it broadcasting to it? Is there a software program you use or what? Any info is greatly appreciated. I have my weather info being sent to my site via Cumulus.

David,
I and quite a number use Yawcam.

I upload to Weather Underground http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstat ... ONTARIO226
and also webcam links on http://www.komokaweather.com

Enjoy,
Paul

Yawcam or Fwink, Yawcam is better controlled, but Fwink doesn't have as many problems

Hi all,

I'm a bit of a newbie to the whole weather station thing, but have just sucessfully got my weather data uploading to my site http://www.shanescofield.net

I'm now keen to get a webcam happenning, but have some initial questions.

Within USB cable length of my computer, I don't have a decent view of the sky line.
I would have to get to the whole other side of my house.
I was wondering if anyone is using a WiFi connected webcam for this purpose?

Any hints, tips or pitfalls?

Any input appreciated.

Cheers from Worongary Qld.

Hi Scoee . I've got the same problem and I think I'll go with an IP camera.

The cheapest option would be a ca5 usb extender, amazon at about £6.50, that way you can use a simple usb webcam and extend the cable using the extender over standard cat 5 network cable.

I will let you know the results when mine arrives

If the camera has to be installed at certain distance from the computer and you (or more precisely, your spouse) do not want to have a cable running the full length of the house, may I suggest a wireless network camera.

For the past five years, I have been using a Panasonic BL-C30 wireless network camera (now discontinued), with built-in Web server functions. This little camera has been reliably providing images 24/7/365.

I downloaded the Yawcam and it will not find my cam. I am using a wireless cam and followed the directions and still nothing.
