Don't see AirCam images on WeatherUnderground

Post by mitchb »

I am using a Meteobridge and AirCam with updated firmware. My initial question is how long should it take after adding a camera to see images on WU? It says there is an approval process. In the WU current camera Active column it says "No" for my camera. Does this mean it is waiting for approval or that images aren't being received?

If I use the camera type Meteobridge Weather camera instead of Weather Underground, I can see the images on the meteo site fine.

No, your camera is approved, but they dont proccess the images, maybe for a few hours, wait.

Is better is you send the image through FTP, remenber adjust the size of the images, have to be minor a 200Kb

Thanks. I don't see a way to adjust the image size on the AirCam or WB. Any hints?

i think first you have to check your aircam configuration, i have a foscam and works differents on WB, if you have to much trouble on the config check this link and trying to make some resize of the image http://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/W ... e_Handling

I don't know if it is related, but the DIR-505 platform has some trouble in setting up
the aircam correctly. Effects are very strange, I will try to understand what is going on.

MR3020 and alike are not affected.

I'm not sure where this stands. I have a Verizon Fios Router which I'm pretty sure is not a DIR-505. It looked like it would be simple to select Weather Underground camera and have the images show up on Weather Underground. The comments about camera setting (like image size) don't seem to apply to the AirCam unless there is a way to adjust that that I'm not seeing.

I can send images to the meteo site fine by choosing Meteobridge Weather camera. So a workaround is to do that and have Weather Underground access the meteo site using the URL. But I'd like to know if there's anything I can do to get the original FTP setup to work.

does it report on "live data" tab that WU Camera upload went fine? Or are there errors reported?
