There are several reasons to use the Webcam assistant. A good point could be if you are planning a tour abroad where you do not have an internet connection and you don't want to bother a friend because of a time lag.

But how does it work?

First of all, make sure that the desired webcam is part of your trip at cachetur.no.
Then click on the dropdown sign on the right side of the webcam waypoint
You are now on the page "Activate webcam assistant". If the webcam is ready for use, you are able to configure the webcam
You can configure the time when you expect to arrive at place of the webcam, how long the pictures should be taken and how often.
When everything is set, click on "Activate" to enable the configuration
You get the information that the webcam assistant is activated:
Under Tools / Webcam assistant you find the status of the order
When it is time, go to the webcam place and do whatever the CO asks you to do. Don't forget to smile
If you want (and have Internet), you can check, if the recording works, when the time range is on
After the recording has finished, you will get an orange alert in the upper right corner
Clicking on the message will bring you to the webcam assistent again. There you will be able to download all pictures in a zip file. Under the download button you see when the download will expire and be deleted from the server.

For various reasons, the Webcam Assistant may not work. If there should be any problem with a webcam, please let us know.
