Can Arlo upload a static webcam jpeg?

Simple question:

I would like to embed a static jpeg image taken say every five minutes on my web page. Does Arlo support this e.g. upload via ftp or to a cloud share drive?

Regards

Nick

Nope. No way to schedule regular videos or pictures, not to mention storage. The only storage is on Arlo servers.

You can now use IFTTT Date & Time to schedule 10s video every 15 minutes. It hasn't been very reliable, but may get better as integration is refined. It'd be nice if more timing options were available, as well as IFTTT access to Arlo stills. You could use ffmpeg to extract a single frame from 10s clip. If e-mail notifications are set up you might be able to grab clip or link to clip from there, but I'm not sure if Arlo notifies you of an IFTTT-generated capture.
