Setting up a remote webcam at the clubs fields
Robert Tomlin replied to Robert Tomlin's topic in Flying Sites and Clubs
Well done 'bucksboy'! Sound very similar to the set-up we're about to use... I've a old iphone 4, with a unlimited data SIM card, and wired to a large car battery... we've worked out that this will keep the phones battery topped-up with power for a few weeks without the need if a solar panel, but we have one also just in case. The phone is transmitting 24/7 its video to a website called Manything, via an app installed on the phone. This is a free video hosting service that records 30 days worth of footage in very high def. We then just give our members the web link to view it. -
Hey everyone.. got a question to throw out there and hopefully greater minds than mine will come up with an answer! My flying clubs airstrips/fields are quite isolated and remote... we have no mains electric power or telephone land-lines. What i'm after is a solution to getting a series of still images (snap-shots) of the clubs airfield on to the clubs website... remotely. I know there are a few apps out there that will allow a iPhone to be used as a remote camera, and you then log into a website to view the images, but all seem to fall short on some specific critera I require. Like I said, the clubs club-house (shipping container) as no power, so the phone will have to be eventually powered from a larger battery source... like a mobile-home leisure battery, and then conected to the internet using either a data-only sim card in the phone or using a mifi... that bit is sorted! What is the problem I so need help with is; I need to set the iPhone to shoot stills only, say at a rate of 1 image every 15 mins and then upload them to a web server/website, also only to take the pics between set times of the day... afterall it's pointless taking pics in the dark, and also that'll use up data. I've had a look at apps such as 'Manything' and 'Presence' and also done a trawl on the web to see if a solution is available, but i've drawn a blank so far. Any body able to help?

small, big, bigger... The Typhoon is from my club (Bury Metro MFC), the DC3 is from the LMA, and the Avro RJX is from the Airport! Notice the deck-chairs under the RJX's wing... that's where the LMA chaps hid away from the sun! Edited By Robert Tomlin on 24/07/2013 22:56:35
