Did it take long to be live?

I'm not 100% sure I put it in right. The "TEST" function on my camera says "Success".

I'm not sure- I know they do approve them once you set it up.  Give them a little time.

Showing up now. Did a PWD reset and moved the upload to Meteobridge.

Might be just that the camera direct FTP was just approved.

I better shut down the Meteo for now and see.

And wipe the spider webs away......again. ](*,)

But wait, if I reset the PWD it must be the Meteo......soon see.

So yes, coming from the Meteo. Handy little box. Updating regular. I see there is the message it will wait for approval before going public.

Are you finding it spotty at all?

A half hour behind.  Refuses PWD when testing.

Growing pains?

Noticed this too recently!

Mines up. Took maybe a few hours to get approved.

I don't see many on the map though.... hopefully there will be a lot more in the coming weeks/months.

I hope I get internet back soon lol. Tech coming tomorrow.  Mine seemed to keep dropping off after 3 hours or so. Rejects PWD after a while. Keep us up to date on yours.

Are you FTP or URL?

If you're asking me I provided a URL.

Hope you get Internet back as well! I start freaking out with Internet.... :D

Cool. So URL method and it seems steady now many hours.

Maybe a hiccup on the FTP side of things.

Internet Tech is "Scheduled" between 8 and 5..........sigh........ :roll:

Once live again I will try a swap over to point to a URL.

Thanks for update.

Through FTP I get a successful connection message, however, no image ever shows up.  All setting are correct per instructions on the Ambient site.  Thoughts?

You get success on a test function or actual auto upload tries?
I have experienced good result on test but no actual upload happens.
Right now I get upload fail error on Meteo but it actually uploads many days now.
It was flakey at start. Maybe in some time it will pick up OK.

I get a successful test message.  I hit the icon that says "refresh once camera is connected" but nothing ever happens.
Could it be my images are too large?

Can someone help walk me through please? Thank you
