Title: POST your currently updating webcam image here!
Post by: piconut on February 04, 2014, 02:05:07 PM
It occurred to me that while we have a forum board for people to post a link to their webcam, we don't have a post that includes current, updating images from our webcams.  Most likely, when a member comes to this forum to research information on setting a a weather webcam, they look to see what other people are using.  The problem is that one has to wade through a myriad of posts to see all the images that our webcams capture.  I'm hoping that we can make this topic a "sticky topic" so that we might help other members figure out what they want to try regarding the setup of a new webcam.


All I ask is that you only post image links to images that are regularly updated, preferably with a time-stamp on the image (but not required).   Also, include the type of webcam and software you are using to capture images, as well as if it is mounted inside or outside.  Full resolution images only please.


I have 4 Hikvision IP cameras (3 MP) that are mounted on the anemometer mast which is mounted on my roof.  I'm using IP Timelapse (https://iptimelapse.com/) to capture the images every 15 seconds to create a time lapse movie, and to place the weather data on the image (from VWS).

Update 4/23/14:  I have a Foscam FI8905.  It looks good so far (for the view that I have to work with).  Time will tell if it works consistently.  I upload with YAWCAM to the website (http://www.wattsbarweather.net) every 30 seconds.  There is a night light behind the house (you can see the bottom of the power pole on the right edge of the picture) which helps night vision (IR turned off).  The camera is inside looking through a window and storm window.  I may try to move it outside in a couple of weeks.

Camera Type: Panasonic BB-HCM531A
Software: SebecTec IPTimelapse webcam
Mounted: inside
The view is S which isn't the best, early in the day.
I just started using SebeTec software, which works well for me, weather data overlay is from my WU feed.

I just recently copied an idea I saw here, put a shelve on top of my office window, put the camera in a small box, spray painted flat black.
It really should be outside.

Now to add a second cam.

Kudos to piconut for mounting on anemometer mask, I may try that in the spring.

3 cams for me. All DLink brand. Snowcam (DCS-942) used WD to capture and upload the image.
This one will become a hummingbird or bluebird cam in the spring.


Front and back cams use Webcam 7 to upload every 15 minutes and stream.

Frontcam (Hikivision DS-2CD2032-I HD PoE Camera) updated 9/2015

At the present time, I only have one webcam but am working on getting a second one going later this coming summer. Mine is a Logitech QuickCam Fusion HD PRO C920. It points to the SSW towards the Carson Range.

(http://www.carsonvalleyweather.com/webcam/webcam.jpg)
This camera is near-sighted (out-of-focus). A -2 diopter lens is on order and will be installed once it arrives. I may increase the image size if the correcting lens works.

EDITED: 2/6/2014 9:39pm - Received and installed the -2 diopter lens this evening. Not sure what effect, if any, it may have had. Won't really know until tomorrow morning...

EDITED: 2/27/2014 3:49pm PST - Changed camera setting from 320x240 to 640x480 to see if that helped with resolution. It did not. Still not very clear even with the -2 diopter lens attached.

EDITED: 8/27/2014 8:22am PDT - Changed camera to a Logitech HD PRO C920 set 640x480 with the "Hubble Fix" of -2 diopter lense adapter. Looks much better than ther original camera!

EDITED: 8/31/2015 7:53pm PDT - Second HD PRO C920 is about ready to be installed. Hope to have it on-line by the end of September (can't rush into things, you know...)

The Saratoga webcam is a Panasonic BB-HCM735A and Image Salsa V2.0.13 software provides the annotation feed.  The camera is on the roof line of the house, facing North-East along Scotland Drive.  Since the cam has good low-light response, and we're in a urban-light area, the image is available day and night.

(http://saratogawx.dyndns.org:18080/netcam.php)

(http://saratoga-weather.org/images/panasonic-BB-HCM735A-sm.jpg)

The Panasonic is a PoE device so is powered through the Ethernet cable from a PoE switch in the weather station room.  Image Salsa grabs the image from the webcam once per second, adds annotation, and saves the image to a XAMPP Apache server on the weather station system where a PHP script picks it up and sends it to the browser (or sends a 'WebCam is offline' image if the image is too old).  The netcam page on the site uses JavaScript to reload the image a set number of times, then time out (so I won't get campers on the netcam page).

Best regards,
Ken

Olympus SP-500UZ using Sebectec software, looking WNW out an attic window.
Second camera, Olympus C4000Z, looking E out attic window.  Subzero temperatures often affect image in winter.


Removed the above 2 cameras (they got old and tired).  Now using a Nest camera:

I have brought the Olympus SP-500UZ back to life because it takes such good pictures.  Looking NW out an attic window:

I just noticed this link....  It was WAY out of date  :oops:, so here is updated information:

I have 3 cams that run 24/7..... About 3,500 images per day per cam.  I upload a 420x236 thumbnail, a 1024x576 image and a 1920x1080 image once a minute per cam.  Every hour I upload a time lapse video of the previous 3 hours from each cam as well.  At the end of the day, I upload a time lapse of the completed day.  I capture 3 images per minute, so the time lapse run time is approximately 18 seconds.  The thumbnails are aligned to form a "panorama" at the top of my site www.SkunkBayWeather.com (http://www.SkunkBayWeather.com).  I am using Sebectec software and the Olympus SP500 cams.  My enclosure is home made with cedar siding to match the house.  The view is looking up Admiralty Inlet and Whidbey Island.  For perspective, here is what the cams are looking at:

 (http://skunkbayweather.com/ScopeOfView.jpg)

I have a page with images and the time lapses all on one page:

http://www.skunkbayweather.com/SkunkBayWebcam.html (http://www.skunkbayweather.com/SkunkBayWebcam.html)

Here is Cam 1.  The flagpole is the mast off the first boat my Dad built in the 30's.

All these snow shots brought me out of the woodwork!  There is a full sized picnic table under the 2 1/2 feet of snow!  This is a shot from the front window of may cabin in northern Wisconsin.  It is an Olympus C4000 using VM95 and Imagesalsa for the finishing touches.  I have 22 shown cameras on my site for this location http://weather.athelstanewi.com/wxwebcam.php (http://weather.athelstanewi.com/wxwebcam.php) along with 2 high res cameras http://weather.athelstanewi.com/wxhires.php (http://weather.athelstanewi.com/wxhires.php) and several that are not shown for security.  The lower high res camera is a Olympus C5050 that is pointed to the north sky and is used to view and record northern lights at night and sky conditions during the day.  I have got some great aurora images from it.

The link to my webcam image from Belgium is http://www.weerstation-wilsele.be/index.php?p=99 (http://www.weerstation-wilsele.be/index.php?p=99)
It is shown as a small image on every page. After a click on the small image the full page window is shown  with a still image or a video stream.
The camera is a 3 year old Panasonic BL-C140. It is mounted high on the wall on the outside of the house facing north. And the box with the documentation is gathering dust somewhere on the attic. Very reliable camera. I selected this one as it had PoE , so only one network cable through the wall (as we have thick stone walls here).
The video program is SecuritySpy on the Mac, it generates the still images with the timestamp and uploads it once every minute to a website. It serves also as a video server for the camera.
 I am always testing other video servers for use with my template and it seems SecuritySpy is in no way bothered by other video programs.

Here are my camera images. Both cameras are about 25 Ft AGL. I'd like to get higher but they're good enough. The north camera is the Logitech C920 which is installed on the apex of the lower roof above the garage connected to the computer through a 15' USB extension. The south camera is the Swann ADW-200. This camera is installed on the WX pole near the top.

I use Weather Display's included web cam program to handle both cameras. Have the images updating and sending every 5 minutes.

Thank you for your kind words Skywatch.  Basically just dumb luck that I ended up with this place.  I was a salmon fishing addict when I bought the place back in 1976 when I was 24.  By 1980 I would not have been able to afford it.  There has not been a single day that I have not been thankful, when I look at this view, for that impulsive decision 37 years ago....  Plus.... Salmon fishing is still pretty good.... =D&gt;

I love it here in TX but I always tell my folks I hope to someday return to Washington. You simply can't beat the Pacific NW. Especially on the water. Some day I'll go back home.

About 16 years ago I was right across the sound from you in Everett. Mukilteo used to be a popular destination for my family and I and we used to take the ferry out from Mukilteo across the Puget Sound and I remember I always used to watch the water looking to see if the fish would surface. Now just memories. Salmon fishing is something I wish I could experience.

Maybe dumb luck will find me someday.

Skywatch,
A lot has changed over the years.  I don't know when you were here, but in my time ... a LOT has changed.  When I moved here in 1977, there were 3 functioning boathouses with long lines of customers (salmon fisherman) on the weekends.  Last week Point No Point resort was bulldozed to the ground.  It was the last functioning resort in the area.  It closed around 2000.  My cousin owned and operated that resort from 1977 until it closed.  The main dwelling was build in the 20's.  I spent a LOT of time there.  Beautiful old growth fir throughout the place.  It breaks my heart that it was not preserved as a historic landmark. 

So.... Enough of the sad news.... Because of my great teachers of "old school" techniques of salmon fishing (Shorty, Vic, Pete, Bill, John... ) I am still catching salmon when others aren't.  Last summer I had a short season because of a kitchen remodel I am doing.  I fished for 10 days and got 10 kings.  Biggest was 23lbs.  I had 3 over 20 and most were in the upper teens.  At the risk of sounding arrogant (and I probably am).... Fishing was very slow.  During those 10 days, I saw about 5 fish caught per day and an average of 50 boats fishing per day.  I am very blessed to have had great teachers over the years.

I am a bit nostalgic when it comes to fishing and boats.  A few years back I rebuilt one of the Point No Point rental boats with my son.  It was the best father/son projects we ever did.  I took a few pics and put up a site for it.  http://www.skunkbayweather.com/PtNoPtBoat/ (http://www.skunkbayweather.com/PtNoPtBoat/)

Thought I'd share,
Greg

Gonna try to explain how it works here. Might be a little different. I don't use a dedicaded webcam software.
Webcam is a Hikvision DS-2CD2032 4mm. With this camera you can change the camera settings with Perl script.

Sunset: A perl script set the shutter to 1/3 (image is very dark with 1/25 at night), increase noise reduction and set WDR to 0.
Sunrise: Shutter to 1/25, decrease noise reduction and set WDR to 21.

WEBCAM
Camera is sending images to a local ftp server every 10 second. This is for my time-lapse script.
Every 5 minutes another script is copy the newset image for upload. This script resizes the image, add logo and upload to my website and Weather Underground.

TIME-LAPSE
This is created and uploaded automaticly to my website and youtube every day. The music fades out based on length of the time-lapse.

Puts mine to shame a little  :oops:   I've just got a Wansview NCM621W (H.264 Mega Pixel 720P) external cam mounted under the eaves of the house facing South.   Currently updating a JPG image every 1 minute using Blue Iris software.  Have only just got this and the site up and running so still some tweaking to do yet.

This is where my cam will be going. But for right it's just a pic. Thought you guys might want to see what the color green looks like since a lot of you are buried in snow.

Skywatch,
A lot has changed over the years.  I don't know when you were here, but in my time ... a LOT has changed.  When I moved here in 1977, there were 3 functioning boathouses with long lines of customers (salmon fisherman) on the weekends.  Last week Point No Point resort was bulldozed to the ground.  It was the last functioning resort in the area.  It closed around 2000.  My cousin owned and operated that resort from 1977 until it closed.  The main dwelling was build in the 20's.  I spent a LOT of time there.  Beautiful old growth fir throughout the place.  It breaks my heart that it was not preserved as a historic landmark. 

So.... Enough of the sad news.... Because of my great teachers of "old school" techniques of salmon fishing (Shorty, Vic, Pete, Bill, John... ) I am still catching salmon when others aren't.  Last summer I had a short season because of a kitchen remodel I am doing.  I fished for 10 days and got 10 kings.  Biggest was 23lbs.  I had 3 over 20 and most were in the upper teens.  At the risk of sounding arrogant (and I probably am).... Fishing was very slow.  During those 10 days, I saw about 5 fish caught per day and an average of 50 boats fishing per day.  I am very blessed to have had great teachers over the years.

I am a bit nostalgic when it comes to fishing and boats.  A few years back I rebuilt one of the Point No Point rental boats with my son.  It was the best father/son projects we ever did.  I took a few pics and put up a site for it.  http://www.skunkbayweather.com/PtNoPtBoat/ (http://www.skunkbayweather.com/PtNoPtBoat/)

Thought I'd share,
Greg

The boat turned out really nice. What a difference from what you started out with. Looks like new. =D&gt;

I changed this cam to upload directly to my own FTP server, then upload to my website. I call it my "Snow Cam", but it is just pointing out the window of my basement. It is an old Trendnet TP-IP410 with a semi-dead PTZ motor(s). Thus, it was relegated to this task.

Something more interesting is the Rogers City Marina web cam. Unfortunately, it won't work in an iframe (since the City replaced the cam with a newer unit)

Here are my camera images. Both cameras are about 25 Ft AGL. I'd like to get higher but they're good enough. The north camera is the Logitech C920 which is installed on the apex of the lower roof above the garage connected to the computer through a 15' USB extension. The south camera is the Swann ADW-200. This camera is installed on the WX pole near the top.

I use Weather Display's included web cam program to handle both cameras. Have the images updating and sending every 5 minutes.

(http://icons.wunderground.com/webcamramdisk/m/c/mckTXaws/1/current.jpg?1391656748)  Logitech C920 looking north.
Not sure if anyone noticed a difference; but a little bit earlier I re-installed the north facing camera to the eve of the roof using 2" steel clamps and a 2' extension. This added 5' to the camera's height AGL. I have a little bit of the horizon in the image. Better at seeing approaching storms!

I have 2 cams that run 24/7.  I upload a thumbnail and new image once a minute per cam.  Every hour I upload a time lapse video of the previous 3 hours from each cam as well.  I capture 3 images per minute, so the time lapse run time is 18 seconds.  Currently they are aligned to form a "panorama".  I am using Sebectec software and the Olympus SP500 cams.  My enclosure is home made with cedar siding to match the house.  The view is looking up Admiralty Inlet and Whidbey Island. 
So, can you go into a bit more detail on how you merge the two cameras?
Does the Sebectec software merge them into one picture?
If not, how is the time lapse synchronized?
The panorama alignment is physically adjusting the cameras?


EDIT: Changed to a new camera setup.

Wunderweenie has the 10sec still image links from my cams that I upload for NWS use, and my own pages. They're welcome to use them.  WU is just a 'side', and I could literally care less... but WU rarely 'drops' them.  Not so with my WxRadio feed... they dropped it out once too often and I was fed up with 'readding'... now stream it to my own pages. No drop outs, unless I cause 'em.

Just to clearyfy......

At the beginning of my webcam adventures I had a problem using active usb cables  10 meters long , the pc went down with a warning that damage to the pc would happen and therefore the pc went down completely.
After I went back to the shop the gave me a new one as I was thinking the active usb cable was not ok,gues what.... the second cable hat the same problem.
So i went back to and buy a passive cable and put the usb cam more nearbye,no problems anymore.

If I change my configuration now i would do the following :

I would use  passive cables  up to the roof with them and at the end I would put a USB hub true the roofwindow, I would take a usb hup with at LEAST 1 ampere where the normal pc or laptop only gives 0.5 ampere.

If someone thinks this is the wrong way I would be happy to hear what would be the correct configuration,as I have plans to change my cam position to the roof to get a more wide vieuw ,but active usb cable are not an option for me anymore.
I want at about 15 meters to the roof position.

Cheers Chris

Running with that. I only have two Olys on that laptop and only the furthest is on a powered hub as that config gave me the best results. Only drops now and then without any Logitechs hooked up. It's an old HP DV1000 laptop with a Centrino M765 CPU from 2005 so I don't expect too much from it. The nicety of it is the power savings vs the Dell GX620 it replaced.

Still better than the old (EBay) Dell GX620s I was using - the Olys wouldn't even be found thru any hub or active extenders with those (Unknown Device) under VM95. Without any Olys, I can run the Logitechs fine but that would defeat the purpose as the Olys give me great resolution of the Organ Mountains.

The cheapie 6-core AMD I built for the north views, replacing a GX620, runs anything I throw at it without a problem so, time for another I guess if I want to expand the south views which I do. The HP laptop I can relegate (with a cam or two) to the "shed" out back when I get power run to it this summer (hopefully).

Well, after much procrastination (I'm an expert in that field  :lol:), I have placed an order on Amazon for a new Logitech C920 along with a -2 diopter viewfinder lens. This camera will replace my ailing Logitech Quickcam Fusion I am currently using and on which the -2 diopter lens adapter does not work. I see delivery is set for around mid-April. Not sure why it is going to take so long but that is the shipping estimate. That will give me some time to get things ready for it.

While I was at it, I also ordered an enclosure for my Blitzortung controller board and some other misc parts to finish that project.

Will post again once I get the new camera installed.

You could try it but I believe the Foscam is already focused for distant subjects.  The idea of the Hubble mod is to take a near-sighted webcam, a camera that normally has a focus range of only a few feet in front of it, and modify it so that it's focus point is much farther away, maybe infinity.

Here is the first post of the Hubble Fix thread that explains it:  http://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=19044.0

So, you could try it, but I'm not sure that your results will be worth it.  It could possibly make the image quality worse.  The good thing is that it is not a permanent fix (unless you want it to be). :)  Does your present setup seem out of focus?

FYI... noted on Amazon today... Loggie C910 Pros $119... I think they're consumer packaging... that's the 5MP version, hopefully, not B910. Last batch I got ahold of (4 was all they had) were brown box cam only 'oem' kit extras.... think I paid $80 ea.  Be a good time, since they're out of production, if you want a great USB cam that a lot of us use with a -2 diopter lens.

Post by: Cutty Sark Sailor on May 10, 2014, 08:07:06 PM
Checked your cam's specs, as Ed says, I don't think it would be worth the effort. Folks haven't had much luck with wireless and some other IP cams... just doesn't improve things to the extent they do with those designed for 'near' webcamming.  Wait around, somebody will post it if they've done it. We do have a Logitech 'Alert' POE on the HubbleCam page, however, but I'm not sure of the specs on that device. Looks good, though!

Thought I'd add one of my weather cams.  It's a Vivotek FE8171V 360 degree fisheye.  Mounted on the roof of my house (I'm located in Toronto), it gives a decent 360 image.  I use BlueIris to grab the image, add the overlay, and Imagemagick to generate a panoramic view from the 360 degree image.

I have been using a cheap IP camera, a REPOTEC RP-WV330, for over 30 months now and submitting solely to Weather Underground, although the image is picked up from there and displayed on five other webcam sites, as well as my own weather oriented site.
(http://jerbils.info/myPictures/webcam.jpg)

The image isn't nearly as good as I have seen from other cameras on this thread.  It is actually designed for internal use (not even supposed to use it for pointing outside) but so far, touch wood, I have had no problems and it has been working continuously throughout that period.

It is not intended as a night camera and, as it is close up to the window, at night all you will see is the reflection of the device's indicators on the window.

Using 2 Olympus C4000z camera's (outside Mount). For enclosures, I have a cheap $5 home depot plastic bathroom trashbin which is turned upside down. (http://t9.wal.co/i/mp/00/08/68/76/11/0008687611715_P255045_180X180.jpg-99e4cdc741f5d90659258febaadaded9af31a29f-optim-180x180.jpg) I cut a small hole in side to fit lens through. The other camera is mounted under the eave and is generally in a rain shadow as storm wind direction is almost always from the opposite side of house. The Olympus C4000z has proved to be incredibly reliable and resistant to weather conditions (hot, cold, wet, windy). I have  replaced a few over the last 5 years which I consider amazing considering the beating these things take. I order used inexpensive spares (under $30) when I can from Amazon sellers or eBay so I can hot swap them out as they fail.

Using VM95 for camera control and Movie Salsa (now Free) for time lapse. Also use Fling FTP to auto transfer time lapse videos as they are created. Images are taken every 5 min during day and 15 min at night.

Samsung SCB-2000 fed into an Avermedia TV Tuner capture card (Express Card Slot). Looks like I might have to adjust the focus a bit. Software is YawCam which seems to be a bit finicky. It's the easiest that I've found to overlay the weather data though. Camera is pole mounted on roof inside a cheap enclosure (heated and fans) found on amazon.

What I like about this camera is it's amazing night quality. I get really nice color night time shots and you can still see the stars.

Hi Ryan,

Yes, it is a combination theater room/man cave, computer room, etc.  There are 3 computers in this room. The one directly behind me is the weather computer. All 3 computers were built by yours truly. I am currently using the oldest of the 3 (7 years old - AMD Dual core CPU). The theater equipment consists of a Denon THX 700 watt A/V Receiver, and a Panasonic 1080p DVD player. Both are circa 1997-1998. Not shown, there is a projector (Runco?) behind the camera hanging from the ceiling. The speakers are the Klipsch THX Ultra 2 certified Home Theater system. The screen is a real theater screen.  All were courtesy of my late uncle. He worked for Malco Theaters in Memphis, TN from 1964-2010. Mike ordered the screen when he was setting up a new theater and added the custom screen to the order. He received the entire system as a thank you from Mr. Paul Klipsch for helping design the currently used tri-trax THX speaker system used in theaters all over the world.

Hi Joe,

Yes, it can very easily move the house. I have not tried it at reference level. About -12 on the volume knob is as high as I have gone on the volume knob.  I will you all apprised of the installation. My intent is to upload a static pic about every minute and have a 24 hour movie uploaded everyday. We'll see.

Nice image, kc2kzz.  Rich and vibrant colors.  Moving the camera to shoot up about the height of your text would still give a good image but add a little more sky...not necessary but thought I'd mentioned it.  Of course if it's more of a security camera that doubles as a weathercam then you're good to go.  Either way, nice setup!!!!  ;)

No local saving is occurring. All via Amcrest cloud (4 hours) and wunderground (does 1 loop every 24 from what I can tell). That's good enough for me.

Post by: Intheswamp on April 21, 2016, 08:43:21 AM
Was just wondering.  Some people may object to having the camera pointing towards the playground equipment but having archived images for security purposes might be something that calms that issue (is there even is an issue).  Of course, saving images might contribute to the issue (again, if there even is an issue).  A local business had it's front door kicked in one night and some items stolen.  My camera captured a still image every 25-30 seconds...we were able to determine that a person seen about the time of the break-in on my camera was seen on another (security) camera walking through a nearby alleyway.  That pretty much confirmed the perp's description.  I never did hear if they caught the guy.  Just thinking... :)

Indeed they are. Since my camera's are custom built I have two modes on them. Day and Night. Day mode is automatic camera settings, but night is long shutter times(3 second)! I have been able to see lightning with these and of course star movement. All my cameras also upload to youtube which makes for a boring channel most of the time. Last year I caught this storm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UihB9iQt5o4&list=PLu7dJllMb-gEYc73E8QKGyDGZZiXwhBYc&index=4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UihB9iQt5o4&list=PLu7dJllMb-gEYc73E8QKGyDGZZiXwhBYc&index=4)

I would like to think I can stop with this hobby anytime but I just got a Raspberry Pi Zero with the new 8MP camera coming in the mail to upgrade my north facing camera so I guess I can't stop.. :)

Hi morfeas,
when I first glanced at it it looked like war torn damage view, until I got my glasses focused and cleaned and then saw the beauty of the sky and buildings.


PRAT,
the darkness from the sun's glare has certainly obstructed an otherwise beautiful view.

Very nice.
Paul

Indeed they are. Since my camera's are custom built I have two modes on them. Day and Night. Day mode is automatic camera settings, but night is long shutter times(3 second)! I have been able to see lightning with these and of course star movement. All my cameras also upload to youtube which makes for a boring channel most of the time. Last year I caught this storm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UihB9iQt5o4&list=PLu7dJllMb-gEYc73E8QKGyDGZZiXwhBYc&index=4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UihB9iQt5o4&list=PLu7dJllMb-gEYc73E8QKGyDGZZiXwhBYc&index=4)

I would like to think I can stop with this hobby anytime but I just got a Raspberry Pi Zero with the new 8MP camera coming in the mail to upgrade my north facing camera so I guess I can't stop.. :)

Enjoy,

Nickolas

Ok, that is awesome.  I'm a total noob and just put my camera up yesterday.  How the heck can I do the same thing?  Would love to know!!

Raspberry pi zero with 8MP camera is now up and running. This makes my 4th raspberry pi camera setup. These new cameras need a few adjustments but the larger FOV and better sensitivity with low light makes it worth it. This one points Northeast of Yuma.

Looks like I am ready for the North American Monsoon here in the desert southwest. I have finished my 4th web cam. All my cameras are raspberry pi with the camera module. Three are outside (East, Northeast, and Northwest) and one inside (south) pointing outside. The cameras are taking an image every 6 seconds during the day and every 15 seconds during the night. Night shots are exposed at 3.1 seconds for all the cameras except the Northeast, it is at 3.5 seconds. I transfer all the images to my server and then create youtube videos twice a day (9am for night videos, 9pm for day videos). All images are overlaid with weather data from my own custom built weather stations (that is another thread).

For now I am happy with this setup. I have thought about a 360° or at least a vertical cam. This way I can detect precip events (rain on windshield situation).

Here are the four cameras:

For that one I am using the Raspberry pi zero with the 8mp camera module. Hard to get right now but hopefully supplies will improve.

If you do not mind me asking, what software are you using on your PiZero to take long exposure cam shots??

Nickolas,

If you do not mind me asking, what software are you using on your PiZero to take long exposure cam shots??

I use picamera and python. Code is below if you care to take a whack at it. I have enhanced the code to now give images every 6 seconds with an exposure of 5.9seconds. You can see my first test here at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL5eRo7TSsM

This code should work.. but I did gut it a little so some settings might need changed. But this is the bulk of it. camera.capture_continuous with burst mode set to true is how I get long exposures to happen ultra fast.

I have that code setup as a service that restarts if it quits. (In this case it would quit went we transition at sunset/sunrise and restart with the correct exposure)

I've been having good success with my Ubiquity Aircam mounted outdoors under the eve peak. Setting the fixed focus was a little tricky but manageable.  I recently figured out how to get NTP to work correctly in the camera so that I don't have to manually set the date and time after a power loss.  Upload and data overlay are handled by Meteobridge.  The camera is facing southwest.

New member here, outside of Watertown, NY (right near the Canadian border).

I have a slightly different set-up than most of you I think - I use a pair of pretty old computers that I had laying around gathering dust, running XP and Jawcam (previously used Webcam32) and connecting to the Internet via my WiFi using a pair of old USB WIFI adapters (had to patch Windows XP with the last upgrade they came out with to get WPA2 to work on the old adapters and Windows) on long USB extension cables to get a favorable signal (I live in a 200 year old stone house so I have a number of routers to cover all of the bad spots and 1 1/2 foot thick walls, but it still can be iffy). 

One comp is way out in my disconnected garage (at the top of a hill) looking out toward the road, this is using an older Logitech C120 webcam, in the peak of my garage looking through a hole covered in glass and looking approximately southward.

Down the hill a bit is my house and at the very back of the house, which is also at the bottom of the hill is the lower level of my cellar where the other webcam is, running a cheapo Technet Model C016 webcam looking through a cellar window (I am thinking of mounting this in a weather-proof box in the Summer as the window will have a screen over it) viewing in an approximately northerly direction with good sight of my chickenhouse, and an Amish horse/cow field and Amish house in the distance.

These feed into my website running Wordpress and update at staggered intervals once an hour, twice an hour during weather events.  Both computers can be remotely logged into using VNC for maintenance and changing the update intervals, or to fire off a live shot.

The two opposite directions that the webcams face give a good over-view of the weather.  Plans for the future include maybe adding a weather station or at least a remote temp sensors connected to one of the computers, maybe another webcam/computer, and maybe an on-demand HTTP capture for both webcams.  http://hmienterprises.com/webcam

Good morning all,
  I have had my webcam up and down for the past year or so now, and with all of the Weather Underground webcam issues over the past couple of months (and now the discontinuing of WU webcams come mid December) I finally decided to figure out a way to post my webcam image directly to my website. I am glad to say I finally got that situated. The current webcam image can be found on my website at http://monumenthillweather.webs.com/. With winter fast approaching, I was glad to get the camera back up and running again. The below picture is a snapshot from my cam this morning.

Here we go again my next attempt at a weather webcam for my station in Gulfview Heights, South Australia.

After the announcement of the demise of wunderground webcam hosting, decided to have a crack at doing it myself.

My current setup is an Intel NUC computer running windows 10 with yawcam and camera used is the Microsoft Lifecam Studio USB webcam.

direct link to webcam. Decided on the static image that updates every 10 seconds.

Camera faces roughly south.

Been two years since these cameras where installed had to improve the programing and how it writes to the SD chip to slow down wearing the sd chip out. I did install a vertical cam that I used to verify trace precipitation days. The night shots are now every 6 seconds with an exposure of 6 seconds.  Now onto Blitzortung. :-D

My weather camera view looking west from the roof of my house.  Currently a Logitech PRO9000 mounted inside a gutted halogen light housing. I need to raise it a bit in order to see Mt. Charleston in the distance behind the trees. Sunrise to sunset only.

Neat images.  My Ambient HDcam failed so no longer can include webcam to WU.  I'm can make timelapses with Nestcam but have failed to get these as an IP image uploaded to WU. Ideas?   Also anyone know of Ambientweather.net API in works which will allow ambient stations to report to CWOP?  Weatherbridge too many $$

My Sky/Weather Cam. It's a WYZE Cam V2. It has a 110 degree field of view and will record 12 second long videos when it detects motion. I have it facing centered towards the WNW and I have it recording 24/7. Here is the cam mounted outside, and here are a few stills.

Recently moved the new views.  Both west and yard views are indoor cameras so depending on the time of day may have a reflection.  The porch cam is outdoors.  Because of the trees I've put the Cocorahs gauge in the front.

Do you mind sharing which specific Hikvision cameras you have and how you mounted to the anemometer mast? How do they get power? Thanks!

I have 4 Hikvision IP cameras (3 MP) that are mounted on the anemometer mast which is mounted on my roof.  I'm using IP Timelapse (https://iptimelapse.com/) to capture the images every 15 seconds to create a time lapse movie, and to place the weather data on the image (from VWS).

Uploading to Webcam.io (https://webcam.io) which creates and stores images, time lapses and videos. Mounted outside facing west. Image quality is very good and have even had some nice night sky captures. All time lapse videos automatically upload to my YouTube channel at the end of the day.

I have finally spent some time messing around more with IP TimeLapse (IPT), been using it to ftp web cam for some time but just basic image.  Just added some overlays and weather info - credit SteveFitz1 for the WX overlay help.

Currently uploading 2 separate camera views (https://lakehuronweather.org/wxWebCam.php) using IPT.  I am very pleased with this software and it's performance.  Just the other day I got it to successfully upload a static image to my WU site, yes I know - utterly amazing - that WU takes it I mean.  Seriously, I have 2 instances of IPT running and both uploading to WU like clock work as well as my web site.  Hope didn't just jinx it!

Anyway, a view from the Northern Midwest, U.S.

Managed to get a cheapo webcam working as a 'weathercam' of sorts with my good old Raspberry Pi that runs Cumulus MX and Agent DVR. The weather currently is relatively dull as the majority of this summer so far has been but should be good viewing during showery days.

The link may 404 at times due to the way uploads rename themselves through FTP from .tmp to .jpg. Quick refresh should fix it!

View is stretching from W - N, updates every 10 seconds or so.

https://qso.com/kj7gcm/
I've written a small script for image overlay 'a few' years ago.
Decompress in the folder where the image is.
- create a text file called webcam.txt with only 2 lines ( first line empty, second line only containing: data )
- call the script: bar2.php?nome_file=webcam
It will overlay the webcam.jpg image with the date of the file itself

Removed the ancient outdated posts /links (all hopefully) of my original weathercam links, since upgrading to SSL server, and updating here...
I was forced to remove one original Logitech feed due to EMP damage to the active USB extension, and currently have killed the other two until I can get up there and replace the USB booster and thoroughly clean the other two...

Here're Hikies! :
SnowCam (in season) IMAGE DIRECT

Southwest
IMAGE DIRECT (need to lower tower and adjust angles...)
(https://frankfortweather.us/still/camSW.jpg?)

Northwest IMAGE DIRECT
 (https://frankfortweather.us/still/camNW.jpg?)
SW and NW operate without IR, generally, to help deter insects, therefore spiders.  Snowcame is active IR , since it's easily accessible for cleaning by this old f**t .
Here's link to current active streams, etc:
https://frankfortweather.us/camsUP/cam1.html (https://frankfortweather.us/camsUP/cam1.html)

I retired the WebcamXp/Webcam7 server program only in order to add cheap SSL to cam feeds.
These are driven by the basic $50 netcam studio (https://netcamstudio.com/) server, with the $25 Yearly enhanced DNS from NOIP.com, with certificate installed in NS server.
Incidentally, my 'experimental' radar (https://frankfortweather.us/01RadarFKT.php) also driven through the above, as a screen capture, adding Sparkocam (https://sparkosoft.com/sparkocam) and an app called "RadarScope (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/radarscope/9mw4stn492s0#activetab=pivot:overviewtab)"
