FTP Cam Settings

Post by masgio69 »

Hi, I wanted to ask if it is possible in the section "Services and then events" to set the ftp cam to save the image and the preview (example as sent images). Is it then possible to have the weather data of that moment imprinted on the image saved on the server via ftp? A thousand thanks.

Not directly. Meteobridge can upload the cam image to the Meteobridge server, where a stamp-in of weather data can be done according to the specifications given by your Meteobridge.

You can then grab the image from there (it is provided at a special URL). Therefore, the computer you want the cam images to be stored on can easily take images from the Meteobridge link and store those on its own file system. Meteobridge itself does not provide an option to read an image from an URL and to upload that via FTP to another server.

Sorry if I explained myself wrong, I am already using this function through another weather device ( http://meteopiova.altervista.org/ultime-24-ore) but I would like it if it were possible to do it with the meteobridge. Basically when it sends the image to the server it sends 2 files, 1 in thumbnail and 1 normal.
Thanks a lot for the answer.

Meteobridge has a feature to upload cam pictures to the Meteobridge server. Beside the original picture the Meteobridge server can also compute one with weather data overlay according to the imagemagic commands your Meteobridge specifies.
I don't know what you refer to as "thumbnail".

As explained, Meteobridge does not provide options for further handling of these pictures located on the Meteobridge server, but the web server where you want to archive these pictures can easily grap the pcis from the Meteobridge server. If you are using some Internet image archive service, then this can probably been told to get an image from the Meteobridge server every 20 minutes or so.
