Echo. Does anyone here have any experience with this? I'm thinking I would like to have solar-powered and wireless and this looks like it would fit my needs but I always like to ask the experts before purchasing this.

I believe battery powered are excluded from IP Still captures.

I got the RLC-410 (now 810) for this purpose.

When you have time would you look at this to see if this would fill me needs? I've been using an old Foscam, which is FTP and it would allow me to send a photo to AWN and I could use it to send a photo to AWEKAS through Meteobridge. Thank you

What do you want to look at?

We live in a RV Trailer park in South Texas and my camera currently captures a picture of our park's private pool. I send that photo Ambient Weather. Then with Meteobridge I can send it AWEKAS. It's strictly for fun. When it's -20 in Nebraska or the other northern states where we have family & friend it's fun in December to remind them we are swimming! The data on the photo is all off because I changed internet providers and I can't get my old Foscam to connect to the router so that's reason I'm looking for another camera.

I'm still not clear on what you "want to look at".

The Argus you mentioned first seems to be out of the picture. (Pun intended lol)

There are many, many cameras that will do what you want.

Is there another one you are interested in?

I am surprised you can't get the Foscam to connect to any network system by plugging into Ethernet and doing any required reconfiguration.

I have a Reolink RLC-510WA that sends still images to my website at https://csraweather.net/GNTS1Cam2.jpg  Better quality image both day and night versus the RLC-811-WA....for night images, I turn off the infra-red lights....check out Reolink at:

A very inexpensive wireless IP camera that should serve your webcam needs
