Second confusing fact:
It appears that WC actually converts/stitches together the jpags saved by Evomcam into... wait for it...
Movies (.mov formatted video)! As the explanatory text in the "Webcam" prefs says (last line):
Pictures and movies are stored at Home/Library/Application Support/WeatherCatMedia
There are actually two directories there, that I assume WC created: Movies and Pictures.
The "Pictures" directory has nothing except Network Cameras.evocamdata (created 7/8/15, 5:28pm), Untitled.evocamsettings (created 7/8/15, 5:32pm), and webcamForPicture.jpg (created 'Today'-7/10/15, 10:33am). I
do not have "Images" set to be saved, which likely explains the scarcity of images.
The "Movies" directory has two sub-directories: Today and WeatherCatDailyMovie_2015_07_09. Both folders have what I assume are 1 hours worth of the jpgs created by Evocam scheduled 5 minute captures. I'll attempt to look at those in iMovie and see if they are, indeed, 12 individual 'frames'. Perhaps I can make that schedule a bit faster at the cost of making the 'movies' longer/larger. OTOH, there's not really a lot of action in the back yard!
Each of these movies appears to be appended with the hour_minute of creation. I have WC set to "Create Daily Movies" and "Keep For 7 Days". That could probably be changed and save drive space.
Bottom line: I believe these settings to be somewhat standard/normal. Informational tidbit: WC cannot grab/use .mov files
created by a camera, but it
can/does
create them from .jpg images. Most people could probably not care less about this detail, of course.
