      Is there a way to upload images and not video to an FTP server address? I don't have bandwidth to support efficient video uploading, but uploading an image or "snap" on a set schedule would be great.

        In my setup, I get 264 video and a jpg. I get about 3 jpg's and hour. I didn't see anywhere to specify one or the other or change the frequency. Definitely could use some enhanced firmware with more setting to control this. I may need to resort to writing a script to pull jpeg from the camera, since my other cameras send a jpg once a second.

          It appears that the frequency of writing out jpg's (and 264 video) is controlled by the file length of the video in the ftp settings. I changed my file length from 1024 to 50. I now get a jpg approximately once a minute from the camera to my ftp server.

          It also pushes the smaller video file, but I just delete those. It would be nice to turn of the video files to save the wireless bandwidth to the ftp server.

            Good catch! I'll try that when I get back from vacation!

            Now if I could easily get the jpeg size down below 150K and remove the video, I could send weather images directly to wunderground.

            Right now I have to ftp to a Raspberry Pi which applies imagemagick to get the image size down, then ftp to wunderground. It works, but I'd rather just ftp directly like other webcams.
