Hi everyone,
I recently started looking into turning a web camera into a weather camera inside my house.
Can anybody recommend a software package (free or under $30) that I can get timed-based shots from the camera? My goal is to have a picture taken and upload it to my other machine via FTP or run a scheduled script to use SSH (SCP) to upload it to my server.
I have tried the Windows XP Powertoy (Timershot from Microsoft) and I had success with it, but I would like something that works with Vista as well. There was one Java software package I tried but I had little success with it (camera picture flickered too much).
The web camera I got was the Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000.
Thanks,
Christopher Zenzel
