Suggested Feature: Camera NAS Support
Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2017 5:02 pm
It would be great is Meteobridge one day supported the ability to read a Weather Cam External Picture from local NAS.
My Sharx camera has no ability to capture a single photo via a URL, but can send pictures on a timed cycle via FTP. That option would work with Meteobridge, but I hate to use the bandwidth to have it send the original photo up to my site, then Meteobridge read (download) it via URL so it can be processed and sent back up into the WWW again. Instead, if MB supported NAS for reading a named file camera image, I could have my camera place the image on my local NAS Flash Drive already attached to my router, MB could get the image from there, process, and send it on in a far more efficient manner.
Thank you for the consideration.
