Timed image capture

by Silica » Fri Oct 14, 2016 4:01 pm

Here's my setup: Wansview IP camera. What I would like to do is obtain a timed image capture, say every 5 minutes. Then preferably send that image to a FTP server. I could work with saving the image to a folder, however. I can set up an automator script to send the file to the FTP server. But I can't get past the first step, i.e. capturing a jpeg image at a timed interval. Any way for Sighthound to do this? If not, anyone know of other Mac software that will do this with an IP network camera?

You might want to check out Security Spy for that purpose, it will let you capture images at timed intervals and upload to an FTP server, etc.
