Hello,

I purchased the camera in march 2012 and set it up to upload via FTP every
minute to wunderground.
For some unknown reason there is a delay problem that gets bigger
every hour so the picture uploaded is not the "live" one. I set the
camera to restart at 4am but I was not able to get rid of the problem.
I setup to upload once per hour, no success either.

I hope you can help me out with your settings. I woudl like to send you the screenshots of my settings, but there are restrictions wich do not allow it. Please send me a PM with your emailadress and I send you over the screenshots.

Thanks alot!

Here the response of Wunderground:
Hello,

I've watched your camera upload images to us, and I can see that the image is indeed far behind the actual time. So it is currently around 7pm local time, but the image we are displaying is from about 1:28PM local time.

However, this is not caused by our system so far as I can tell. I have captured the image directly upon upload, and it is attached to this message. The image you are uploading to us is the image from 1:28PM.

You may want to check your camera for a malfunction, or contact the manufacturer. Let me know if there is anything else we can do.

Thank you,
Aaron Cowdin

Ah, it seems I found a solution, although its not very logical I describe my solution.

Active Time of Trigger: always
Format: JPEG - 640*480

Most important it seems:
Image Buffer frequency: every 1h 15 images (I tried 30 wich was ok aswell)
Transfer: sure FTP

FTP Settings:
Login timing: every time
upload file name: image.jpg
overwrite settings (important aswell!): save as new file with time stamp
passive mode

Hope this helps!

Miore questions? I gladly help :)
