I agree that's it's a great investment, especially for a school or shop. Been hoping for a webcam forever, I just don't have the techie skills to do it.
I personally trust pictures more than numbers off a sensor, plus it's obvious when a cam breaks, but a sensor might just "be off" and it's mounting location is prone to make it read high or low, whereas as long as there is no obstruction, the cam will show the riding spot's water texture. (no calibration or mounting issues if clear view of location, is my point). Plus, you can watch your buds while stuck at work or vice versa. I figure if it is capping I can ride. I may not know if it's 13 or 30, but I can rig accordingly when I get there. We have a couple sensors here notorious for reading high and causing goose chases. We have a news sponsored beach cam that takes 1 pic every 3 minutes and it's actually reasonable. I use it alot.1 reasonable rez pic every few seconds would be awesome. I am really interested in hearing about you guys doing this (and your success). |

land of plenty
gday skyway scott
your in the land of plenty and should have no problem finding all of the stuff you need to make it happen. sharper image west marine should have the weather stuff radio shack the web cam and extra cable and you can make your weather proof box up. pluss it will be 50% cheaper for you to do it there than us to do it here. because you don't have to pay duty on it. check out weather.com to see what you have to do to link your weather station. mabe go to one of those hock shops and buy a second hand lap top to conect it to so it doent matter if it gets hacked into. aj |
