That's a bit harsh Vince - many people use a webcam to supply weather images for use on their weewx generated webpages ..... and the webcam capture may have to co-exist with the weewx weather station capture and subsequent data processing. Certainly some time ago I found that my original RPi just could not cope with weewx and a high quality webcam - factors which I suspect are now different with the RPi3 being around. Alternatively it may be necessary to have the webcam capture take place from a different processor and just make the captured image be available to weewx.
