Looking for a camera or video server that has built in functionality that would allow me to upload a JPEG to an FTP site every minute or so?

 

The scenerio:

 

Camera & Ubiquiti Bullet at remote location running on battery/solar array.

I want to upload a JPEG every few minutes to an FTP site.

The viewing of the image I will handle on the server no problem.

 

Depending on bandwidth available I may want to add the actual video stream. Is it possible to stream and grab frames as well?

 

Thanks!

Just about any IP camera will do what you want. I personally use Axis for this as they let me use the same file name each time so I can have it on a website with a fixed name where most cameras only let you FTP images using a timestamp or sequence number for the file name which makes it difficult to say have for a webcam on a website. If having a fixed file name is not an issue, I would say really any IP camera with the known exception of Arecont.

 

What I do is find the camera with the image quality and price point I want and then download the user manual from the manufacturer's website to see if does what I'm expecting it to do.
