How to Create an SSTV Cam for your location:


You will need the following:

  • Radio / antenna to receive SSTV images in the amateur bands.  This help page assumes you are already set up and have experience with sending and receiving SSTV images

  • Computer with access to the internet. I have used Win 98 thru currently using Win 11

  • SSTV Software to decode the audio from your radio into images that will be saved to your computer. I use MMSSTV.

  • Website host with ftp access: I have used www.qsl.net previously, it's free and worked good for me at the time. I use www.hostpapa.com now because more features.  Not free.

  • FTP Widget software to upload the SSTV images from your computer to your website


Create a new folder on your computer hard drive EXAMPLE: "C:\sstv” This is where MMSSTV will be saving SSTV images and the FTP Widget will find your SSTV images to upload to your website

Set up MMSSTV: Select the History tab and right click in the image area, select “Auto copy to another folder”, "Copy as JPEG format" and “Assign another folder name” and enter “C:\sstv” and hit the OK button.


Setup FTP Widget: Here is a example of my FTP Widget "File & FTP Properties" with using qsl.net as my host.

FTP Widget should be ran as administrator and may not work with some host providers


You can copy the HTML code from my 3 image SSTV page to use as your index.html page on your website.

When a new image is uploaded to your website server, the image should replace the existing image with the new image and rename the other 2 so they show as previous history images.


To get your images to display on WorldSSTV, here are my settings for use with my webpage hosted at www.qsl.net
