https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=38907.0Basically the background is this. mstan asked how to use the Meteobridge with his webcam. Then the following discussions took place.
Several [online services allow for uploading your webcam image]....
AWEKAS
MetOffice WOW
WeatherCloud
and WU
I feed them all my webcam with my Meteobridge. I really like the overlay weather text feature on the image.
I fed my previous webcam to WU, but I can't get WU to accept the FTP feed from my new camera, which is why I was looking for a different site to upload it to. According to FileZilla, WU is accepting my username but rejects my password.
I hadn't heard of the sites you listed, I will check them out. Thank you
Galfert I have a Meteobridge and send my data to the locations you listed but I can't figure out how to send my webcam which is a hikvision 2032. Can you provide any info or screen shots on your setup. Also Windy is accepting webcams now. Thanks.
You have to add you camera to the Meteobridge. There are several ways to do this and it depends on the capabilities of your camera. I have a Dahua clone (Q-See) camera. The method I use with this syntax probably will not work for your camera. But if you find the information on how to talk to your camera then you can use the proper syntax for your brand/model.

The Syntax I use for my Dahua clone is this:
https://admin:MyCamsPW@192.168.1.220/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?channel=8&loginuse=admin&loginpas=adminNow my image is coming from an NVR that has many cameras. Therefore the image is not coming directly from a camera. But If I had a stand alone Dahua it would be pretty similar except I could ignore the ?channel=8 part of the syntax. Also of note is that in my case channel 0 is really channel 1. Which means that in my case since I'm pulling channel 8 it is really channel 9 on my NVR.
For Hikvision use this as a staring point. There are probably other sources of information as this may not be 100% guaranteed for your exact model. This though gives you an idea of how it works:
https://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=hikvisionThere is like 16 pages of syntax to sift through in that link and find the correct one for your Hikvision. I would put my bet on this one though which is the same as Dahua. But it needs to be tested.
cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?loginuse=[USERNAME]&loginpas=[PASSWORD]
Which translates to this as an example:
http://admin:admin@192.168.1.20/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?loginuse=admin&loginpas=admin
