Introduction
As a special feature CumulusUtils - from 5.6.0 - also supports a webcam in basic form. The user can specify an image basename for the image (on the server where the Cutils site is located) which will be displayed in the ReportView and refreshed every refresh period (of the realtime data). It is the users responsibility to configure the cam and the tools to get the image on the server.
In future and on request some additional functionalities may/will be added like a live stream (if you have one) and timelapse video's (which you may create and upload).
Inifile parameters
[MeteoCam] MeteoCamMenu=true ; When false no MeteoCam menu item will be displayed, the MeteoCam is not available MeteoCamName= ; the name of meteocam image. Any image type which can be displayed in the browser will do. e.g. meteocam.jpg
Inner Working
Each realtime refresh time the meteocam image is reloaded. It is advised not to set a too high frequency. One second e.g. is too high. 30 seconds should be OK. The refresh is done while bypassing the cache so a reload always actually takes place physically.
