      I would like to use the RLC-411WS as a weather camera, particularly to forward images to Weather Underground.

      However, I need a way to grab a jpg from it every minute or so.

      I'd prefer it send an image via ftp on a schedule, but the current firmware doesn't do that often enough (and I get files I don't want).

      I've got something cobbled together using the existing ftp setup, but how can I get jpegs more often?

          are there any updates on this?

          a simple feature to only upload pictures every x seconds/minutes would be great.
          i dont need the video on my ftp, only like to save pictures every minute.

          this feature cant be hard to implement,
          hope this will be added soon

              Hi There,

              Just installed the RLC-411WS and also need to have a simple way of capturing a snapshot every 5minutes, saving it to my PC, so that my weather software can then upload to my website and Weather Underground etc.

              Appreciate some guidance on this please

              Many thanks

              Neil

                You can request a JPG from a Reolink camera any time by using a URL such as:

                http://192.168.1.11/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=abcde&user=anonymous&password=password

                where:


                1. 192.168.1.11 should be replaced by the IP address of your camera

                2. abcde can be any string of characters (e.g. it's a dummy input, but required)

                3. user and password are defined in your camera settings



                If you have any sort of always-on computer available to run a script, such as a Raspberry Pi, you can set up a bash script using curl to take snapshots every X minutes and save them to a different filename, and then afterward use QuickTime Player 7 or ffmpeg or some other utility to concatenate them into a timelapse movie:

                #!/bin/bash
                cd /Users/steven/Documents/Beekeeping/BeeCam/TimeLapse/
                while true
                do
                outfile=$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%I-%M)
                outfile+=.jpg
                curl -o $outfile "http://192.168.1.11/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=abcde&user=anonymous&password=password"
                sleep 60s
                done
