Hello,
Does anyone out there have a webcam uploading successfully to their website? Could you please tell me what hardware and software you are using?
Trying to get such a setup in place is the bane of my existence. Why does it have to be so hard? I’ve been trying for years with a multitude of cameras and software. Either the software won’t handle a high-resolution camera, or the software causes my webspace provider to blacklist my IP because they think I’m hacking, or the software freezes up constantly. I’ve tried so many solutions and everything fails for a different reason.
Right now I’m using Weather Display’s web cam upload capabilities. But the dang thing is constantly freezing up - I mean like it doesn’t go more than a day or two before freezing up and needing to be rebooted. That’s on TWO different laptops, so it’s not the computer’s fault.
I tear my hair out in giant chunks over this. Has ANYONE out there been successful? All I want to do is:
- [li]Use a big picture, like 1920x1080 pixels
Upload a photo every 60 sec.
Put some text on the photo
Make a time-lapse movie of the day and upload it, (I can only dream)[/li]
I’m willing to go out and buy an IP camera if someone can assure me that that will work better and can guide me to some upload software that actually works. I’d even upload live video if I could.
Thanks to anyone who has successfully worked this out and will let me copy their system.
