It shows .jpg images that the webcam uploads to your server. The images are displayed responsively so that they are also suitable for smartphones and tablets. You can choose different CSS style and different ways to display, for i.e. slideshow, carousel, page refresh, image refresh etc. You can publish more than one widget and Block or shortcode on the same page with different webcam. Finally a perfect and easy way to get your webcam online! Note: This free version uses the legacy widget system. On WordPress 5.8 and later, you may need to install the Classic Widgets plugin. The PRO edition includes Gutenberg block and shortcode support. FREE edition: If your webcam uploads your images always with the same name, the free edition fits for you. It shows the latest image with a page refresh and without browser cache. Widget only (you may need the Classic Widgets plugin depending on your theme) Limited support for the free version. PRO edition: Block, short-code and widget. -Some webcams only load one image every x minutes and the image always has the same name. The PRO version fits this! Show the latest image every time you load the browser page. -Some webcams load images with a different name always in the same folder. The PRO version fits that! Gets and displays the last x images found on the folder. You can choose how many images to show. -Some webcams upload images to a daily folder; a new folder every day. The PRO version fits this! Find the last folder loaded and then enter it, if there is another folder enter it again and then obtain and show the last x images there are. -Some webcams do not show the day and time of the image. The PRO version fits this! It adds a caption with the day and time of the image. -Some forecast sites must download a webcam image with the same name and the same URL, but your webcam changes the name of the images and the URL of the daily folder. Here is a script that searches for the last image of your webcam and always saves it with the same name and the same URL. To do this you need a cron job. -Two beautiful style settings and extra Bootstrap style also. -A slideshow that can show the x number of the latest images with a carousel mode. You can choose how many images show. -Also, you can set to show the latest one image with an auto image refresh every x seconds (no webpage refresh, only image refresh). The PRO version is full of adjustments and ways to show images. It is fully responsive and displays well on smartphones and tablets. Support by tickets system for 30 days.

I found this through a search. The free version showed that the plugin worked in basic form. I bought the pro version and started to setup my site. I’m a newby so needed a bit of assistance. The support I got was outstanding. Lets be real , you buy a plugin for 14 euro’s and in reality you don’t really expect support. What I got was amazing. Antonio provided multiple replies and helped me to get the plugin to a state that I am happy with. I highly recommend this pugin if you have webcams in a wordpress environment. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4d460f5d3bb63667c8986e5fd21fcf67b9f477b543438d1e52c156f9fc4df2ab? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Plugin and support.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-and-support-1729/)󠁿 [olavb1](https://profiles.wordpress.org/olavb1/) 18, Xunetu de 2024 This is an amazing plugin. I have purchased the PRO version which you must have to get full use of it. In fact, I haven’t found any other plugin that can do the same as this one. It shows images that you have uploaded to an FTP folder inside Wordpress. It doesn’t have to be in the media folder. This prevents the images from being stored in the database. Enter x number of days you want the images to be on the server and the images will be deleted automatically without you having to think about it any more. I had some problems with the installation, possibly because I misunderstood something, but Antonio Germani helped me and provided amazing support. I recommend this plugin and give it 5 stars. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e2b4a5de72dc1b1b6f420a6bf1600a79a88307bcb4109a1bb3d73bcee112e5a7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Ottimo plug-in](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ottimo-plug-in-32/)󠁿 [iu7bsn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/iu7bsn/) 20, Xineru de 2024 Desidero esprimere la mia ammirazione per la straordinaria disponibilità e pazienza del creatore di questo plug-in, soprattutto nei confronti degli utenti meno esperti nella creazione di siti web. Mi ha fornito un supporto impeccabile, accompagnandomi passo dopo passo e soddisfacendo pienamente le mie esigenze. Il plug-in in sé è eccezionale e offre una modalità di sequenza delle immagini molto gradevole. Inoltre, il creatore lavora costantemente per migliorarlo e tenerlo aggiornato, dimostrando grande attenzione alle richieste degli utenti che acquistano la versione PRO. Nel mio caso, l’ho utilizzato con successo per gestire ben 4 webcam. Lo consiglio vivamente ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/10fe279a74644e26d30dbcfdfefea7b175ba9545ca8ee3c33228e0552f4974dd? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Webcam viewer Pro edition](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webcam-viewer-pro-edition/)󠁿 [elisawebsite](https://profiles.wordpress.org/elisawebsite/) 16, Mayu de 2023 Ho comprato Webcam Viewer Pro Edition per un mio cliente che necessitava di configurare due webcam sul suo sito di promozione turistica.

No guides, some incomprehensible example in the settings. I can’t make it work. Can the author write a simple guide on how to use it?? Since he already sells this plug. I would be grateful. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5e7af520db134f8f2b5d258ec5c99a7a706fea2d8fa19c786af968bddc1226b2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Top](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/top-1430/)󠁿 [steff66](https://profiles.wordpress.org/steff66/) 15, Avientu de 2022 Das Plugin funktioniert einwandfrei und der Support ist hervorragend.
