Trying to ad a FTP webcam with no success
« on: July 19, 2020, 09:08:40 PM »
Hi. I have 3 weather webcams up on my roof. I'm trying to share one of them on WU but no luck. I have tried everything, and everything on my end looks correct. I have messed with this for hours and just can't get it to upload a image. I'm using a Amcrest IP camera wired with Ethernet model IP3W-943W. Has anyone had any luck using a amcrest camera with WU? I'd appreciate any help or info. Thanks. See attachment

Webcams seem to have been basically down the last week or so.

Its frequent and annoying. I'm going elsewhere with my camera.

My webcam is not published on WU anymore since June 28, 2020.   I'm not surprised...

Starting in early April I spent almost 2 months trying to get my webcam to upload to WU with no luck. I tried both FTP and using a URL, neither work. Consensus here is that WU had just stopped taking new webcams.

Once I just saw in another thread they came came on I added one again. Last day or so is best it has worked in a long time. Most images actually saved as i have ever seen i think.

Go figure.

weird, I have 3 of them I'm trying to get online. They just don't come online to the WU server.

Just what we were chatting about. Then my camera came to life. Go figure.
