I have recently moved all of the software running this project to a single 2023 M3 iMac. This also required making some changes to the scripts etc that power this little hobby site. I duplicated the old detailed process blog to the best of my ability. If you are curious, here’s how it all (kinda, sometimes, mostly) works.
This post is an update to one written in 2018 as the process and software used has changed since then.
Over the years I have had requests to share the details of how I do the technical things that power the FarmCam. Below are instructions for using EvoCam to share still images as well as timelapse videos on a website to which you have FTP access.
Unfortunately, EvoCam is no longer being developed so everything in this article will likely focus on Version 5.0 (64-bit preview 3) of the software. At the time of this writing one can still download the software from reputable sites; however, if you cannot find it, email me. I can provide the DMG file, but I do not provide support for the software! EvoCam works only on macOS, and I have tested it up to: macOS Sonoma Version 14.3.1 and current run it on my Apple Silicon (M3) iMac (2023).

Decided to finally break down the old bin box. I salvaged what wood was still useful and burned the rest. And had a little fun while monitoring the fire.
Our favorite streaming and timelapse camera is focused on the Saint Lawrence River in #Quebec, #Canada. We helped them create timelapse videos and they have been helpful with our streaming questions. Give them a like and a follow if you can. Merci beaucoup!
The alliteration of the title apparently works in French as well — Camarades Caméramans Canadiens!
The timelapse for 30 July 2023 [3:12 into the video] caught the SpaceX Starlink launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
