Yeah, I have this same question as well. I’m using a dropcam, but would love for the images to be uploaded somewhere. I’m assuming IFTT should have a receipt for this? I haven’t found one yet.
Interestingly I don’t know if there’s a dropcam recipe for this, but they have a similar one if you’re using the manything channel.
I tend to just stick with TinyCam Monitor on my Android phone and my foscams. You can control the cameras, view multiple devices at once and it supports uploading to dropbox.
I hear you though, it’s not ideal. I think there should be a way to combine the existing “burst” scripts that are out there with some kind of remote retrieval of the pictures, maybe save them to Dropbox or Google Drive.
So… this is definitely out of my reach… but looking at the API it should be able to be included… i can read code really well, just limp along when writing it… Maybe I’ll take this weekend and try and suffer through it and see what i can do.
For the right person it should be relatively simple to incorporate… @Ben and @urman maybe you could chime in as to our thoughts on this? Id love to see this for archival purposes!
Maybe we can have access to the S3 storage location where the images are currently uploaded to??
I think a ton of others on the forum would love to see an archival solution for images too.
I guess another option would be to immediate upload the same picture that is uploaded to AWS to a local web server / SMB server /FTP . Does anybody have any ideas on how to do that? /cc @Ben@urman
