This is an “Armchair Coder” I’ve been working on this since the holidays, so today I’m releasing the beta of Camever. Camever is a webcam capture tool designed to work with most Foscam and Amcrest cameras that support the retrieval of an image from it’s snapshot.cgi in a web browser.

With a host of features including scheduling, Weather Underground Wundercam integration, image overlay, and more. After you get done capturing a days worth of images, you can use Time Lapse Tool to put them all together into a time lapse movie.

You can read more about Camever’s features and download it from the project page.
