Topic: FOSCAM F19900P connection issue wunderground

[boaterholic]

Hello all. Newby here on the website.
I just purchased this IP cam and I am trying to get it on my wunderground account with no success. The camera is online and I can see it and when I go to camera settings online and do the test it says success on the camera page, but the green/red dot on wunderground stays red and says offline for the cam.

Can someone please walk me through getting connected? Thank you!

Quite likely a waste of time. I have that camera. Used to load to WU just fine.

WU is broken. There is slim chance you will see your camera there.

But if you do FTP test and it says OK but no pictures uploading......just wait a day or two.....it MIGHT appear.

Well that's not good. I was all excited to finally add a cam to my PWS. UGH!

I am pretty much done with WU. Cameras are working great on Ambient Weather.

Once I figure out how to get Weewx actually on web with my second station and Raspberry/MeteoPi I will be laughing. Got it all installed but there us some stuff about web serving with Apache etc. that I have not mastered yet.

And yeah, I have not heard any positive news lately about trying to add new cam to WU........Anybody?????

I recently changed my upload method to WU, in effect deleted the existing cam and added a new one (hence the 2 in the cam name) works no problem

Make sure your image file size isn't to big, if it is then it will appearvto be uploading ok, but nothing will show.

• Use the ftp method. To rely on WU to do something is an exercise in frustration.
• Use a debug on the ftp command so you can see that you connect to a working server and it is accepting your UserID/Password. You will see that WU has accepted your file:

• When you are successfully transferring a file, then you just wait until it shows on your page. It is totally out of your control and may take 0-10 days.
• Use different browsers and OS to check - if I look at my station page with Win10/Chrome it will always give the "No Data" message.
  
  But if I look using Android/Chrome all the data is there. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
