Ipcam Telegram Channel Upd
You cannot send updates without the Channel ID.
Create a file named ipcam_upd.py. This script handles the UPD logic—refreshing the feed every time the motion state changes.

import cv2
For true image upd (updates), you need a middleman like a Raspberry Pi, a NAS, or an old PC running a Python script.
Python Script for Continuous Updates:
import requests
import time
import cv2 # OpenCV
BOT_TOKEN = "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN"
CHAT_ID = "-1001234567890"
CAMERA_URL = "http://username:password@192.168.1.100/snapshot.jpg"
def send_photo():
img_data = requests.get(CAMERA_URL).content
files = 'photo': ('snap.jpg', img_data)
url = f"https://api.telegram.org/botBOT_TOKEN/sendPhoto"
params = 'chat_id': CHAT_ID, 'caption': 'Live Update'
response = requests.post(url, files=files, data=params)
print(response.json())
