After many false starts with various IP Cameras, I have finally got something working that seems to be a more permanent solution.
Having tried before by using port forwarding through the router, which worked until my ip address changed. Here in Australia, ISPs charge for every little detail, like a static IP is an extra $10 a month etc.
Through reading this forum I realised that Wunderground had a webcam feature (I had signed up to Wunderground when I set my station up in 2008, but largely forgot about it).
Managed to get the FTP working on a TP Link NC450 IP Camera and added the vamera image to my site tonight.
Time will tell if it is a more permanent solution to my past problems.
