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 requests
import time
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())
