Hi,
I set up a weather webcam. I have it upload a flv file. When I play it it appears to be the same image all the time. What have I set wrong?

Also how do I get the time and temperature etc. to show in the video?
I appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks.
Bob
Have you looked through the FAQ’s?
Basic USB Webcam Setup
All Day Video Setup
Also, look in the webcam file in the WD program folder (or where ever you are storing the images) and make sure the images are being saved at the time interval you set. It looks like the same image is being saved each time.
You can add the time & temp to the image in the webcamcapture program, under the “Overlay” heading. 
which version/build of WD?
(that info should always be provided)
as there is now a more simpler all day video setup
post a screens shot of your all day video setup settings and the web cam capture file save settings
Hi Brian,
V 10.37R Build 03. Does Webcamcapture vers. 9.99 always need to be running? I checked after leaving the webcapture program up and it is now animating. So does the webcamcapture always need to be running?
I did an alt-prt scr of the screens requested but it will not allow me to paste in this message. Any suggestions.
Thanks.
Bob
Yes, webcamcapture needs to be running as it’s continually capturing the webcam image, adding the overlay and saving the image to your webcam file.
You don’t have to have to have it on the screen all the time though, if you right click on the webcam icon in the task bar you should seen a “Show” and “Hide”, just click “Hide”.
Hi,
That worked. Now I would like the jpgwebcam.jpg (static picture) to upload to website. I want to have curent picture (static) upload every minute. Also want lasthour and last day to upload (which both are now). I have an IR camera so I can ‘see’ during the night. How do I get WD to record during the night.
I appreciate all the help.
Thank you.
Bob
you can set to upload that static image
via the web cam upload
in the ftp/internet setup
Hi Brian,
Thank you for all your help. Couple more question. How do I get the all day video to record a full 24 hours. It always seems to start right around sunrise. Also do the time stamp files from the older days (meaning greater than 24 hours ago) do they overwrite or do I have to delete them? Please advise.
Thanks.
Bob
set to create the files at night time too, in the time stamped files setup
and then also set start and end hour and tick to override
because the time stamped files are not date stamped, they get overriden
Hi Brian,
Thanks for the help. I must be doing something wrong. My 24 hour video again starts around the sunrise time (6:00 AM ish). I am using the new all day video tab. I did have settings in the old tab and have now elminated those. However I did have checked in the new all day video tab to use this new setup. I have the start hour at 0 and end hour ar 24. What am I missing? Please advise. Thank you.
Bob
did you tick, let me overide…under the start and end hours
Hi Brian,
Yes I did. I have start hour as zero and end hour as 24.
Best regards,
Bob
I will look into it when I can
currently its holiday period and spending time with family, etc
Hi Brian,
Ok thanks and understood. Did the same thing again this morning.
Let me know. Thanks.
Bob
Hi Brian,
Have you had a chance to look into this. The video only goes from around sun rise to midnight. I have the start hour at 0 and the end hour 24. Let me know.
Thanks.
