Brad_The_Lucky Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Sorry for the poor quality pics - some are not screenshots and were taken w/ my cell phone. Here are some samples of how I am using Web Cams and IP cams in my C4 setup.BedroomNurseryRadar Web CamWeatherTraffic Cam
Brad_The_Lucky Posted August 20, 2008 Author Posted August 20, 2008 Here are some instructions:http://control4blog.businessnetonline.com/2007/07/26/ipcameras_setup/You can basically utilize any IP camera (or in the case of the radar, an updating .jpg) on the Internet.
neil12011 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 the weatherbug driver in 1.6 will hopefully negate having to use web images of weather forcasts, and allow you to get a forcast whenever you want.
read99 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 NeilWhat is the weather bug driver and how does it work?Jim
henniae Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Weatherbug is a new driver that was written for version 1.6 system software. Weatherbug was written as an example of what can be done with t he new DriverWorks API in version 1.6. Weatherbug retrieves weather info from www.weatherbug.com and displays that info as a announcement message.
str1der Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Any help on getting this to work? I tried to follow the documentation about setting the hostname under connections/network but I don't see any way to do that.
hike Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I get the pop up but no image, just a placeholder and the image url works fine...Do you need HC 300 or 500 for this to work??

The one I'm using is specific to Raleigh, NC. Most cities will publish an image like that which is updated daily. Essentially, you are just displaying the .jpg image instead of a .jpg from a Webcam.Some local NC samples:http://wwwcache.wral.com/asset/weather/2008/04/22/2774561/forecast_7day_wral_raleigh-300x225.jpghttp://abclocal.go.com/three/wtvd/weather/wsi/7day.jpg
fschaeffer Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Brad, I'm new to C4 and have recently setup a small and simple C4 system with my local dealer.Where can you actually see theses IP camera Pics? I assume at the Navegator window on your TV and MiniTouch, correct?Anywhere else, like the Web navigator?thanks
Brad_The_Lucky Posted January 27, 2009 Author Posted January 27, 2009 You can view the cameras:-via your TV's if the TV's can display the C4 Interface-via C4 touchscreens-over the Internet on 4sight-on an iPhone via the ControlUI app (if you are in your house)I haven't done anything fancy - I believe you can have the camera view pop-up on your TV during specific events (e.g. doorbell ringing)
