The user can specify an image basename for the cam image (on the server where the Cutils site is located) which will be displayed in the ''ReportView'' and refreshed every refresh period (of the realtime data).

Also timelapse video's are supported. The user can select either the meteo cam image view or the timeelapse video view through radio buttons. The timelapse video can be selected through a drop down selector. It is the users responsibility to configure the timelapse videos and have them available on the server.

If the user specifies this type he only has to configure the file ''utils/meteocamrealtime.txt'' (generated by ''CUtils''). The module then displays the image from the camera and refreshes it at the frequency the user has configured in the camera.
