I ended up going VBScript versus Perl but was able to watermark my images with a timestamp with the following: "montage -geometry +0+0 -background white -label " & chr(34) & strWatermark & chr(34) & " -pointsize 20 " & strSourceDir & objFile.FileName & ".jpg " & strDestinationDir & objFile.FileName & ".jpg" To watermark the image, try Image Magick.

Thinking I could sneak by using your code, I downloaded Strawberry Perl for Windows and tried to run it. It doesn't seem to work and with my limited understanding, I'm guessing it could be the use of 'curl'. Any thoughts on how I could get this to run in Strawberry Perl or how to setup a similar function to create a timelapse from the Foscam camera in Windows?

I'd love to see any updates you make, especially for tagging pictures with a date/time watermark.

My firts idea was to process the cam's snapshots which are ftp'ed to my NAS and then process them. Did you consider this? Advantage is that you can use the alarm functions of the foscam. Your script gives some more control, which I like. I also want to print the date and time in the picture. I think of using 'convert' for this (in the while-loop). My idea is to create a movie for each day. Compressing it to a mp4 movie safes a lot of space! I'm still experimenting which compression is acceptable (2-pass 800k seems ok) Regards, Martijn Hi,
