After at least 10 years, I moved from the Stardot megapixel to the AmbientCamHD. I’m basically a “Homer Hobbyist” with no IT training but I've managed to get by with trial and error techniques. I’m pretty happy with the picture quality of the new camera and the price is pretty low compared to others, especially the Stardot cameras.
But the software on the Ambientcamhd doesn’t allow me to change the name of the capture files that I was sending to my website server. The program automatically assigns the name of the jpg to the time and date it was recorded. Such as: 2015041712450.jpg. The instructions seem to be Weather Underground centric in that they only provide info on using that service. I’ve tried other IP software but none so far have been able to connect with the Ambientcamhd.
For now I’m using the Weather Underground to host the jpg files but the service seems erratic and sometimes stops updating for hours at a time. Just wondering if anyone else is using this camera and having better luck with it. It doesn't seem to be a very popular camera.
Thanks
