We thought we would start a Member's Web Cam Topic since many of our members have some awesome Weather Cams in action.
Embed your latest image which is either live or being over written every 5, 10 or 15 minutes is the way to go. This way the pages will fill up with images of live conditions at your location. Also add a link to your Weather Cam so other members may visit your site if they wish.
You may add other Station's Web Cams from around New Zealand but make sure you have their permission to add them. To embed your image, highlight your link and select the image button on the message toolbar. It is the first icon under the B. Any problems just ask.

With permission from Jom of Castle Hill I will start this topic with his 2 Web Cams.

For more information on the location of the webcams and weather station click here to visit Castle Hills.

As you all know I am just getting started with my webcam: this is the view, a short while ago, to my ENE...it is taken through the window, so not that sharp yet, as I seek best spots.

Ok apologies here too - as i have three webcams - one a lot poorer than the other two.
The first two are out of the back of the garage and look over neighbouring farms to the NW and West.
I got a camera running early on as I feel it is a quick and accurate way of showing what the weather is by a picture rather than words and numbers

This one is put up twice - the second time with the weather data added as shown above.

This one is off the top of the roof in a webcam box but I need to replace it with a better quality cam like the Logitech Quick Cam Pro 9000. It is viewing to the SW.

This one and the first have demisted windows.

Clyde, Otago.[/b]

Web cam is looking out towards the Obelisk Rock on top of the Old Man Range (1682M) Usually at this time of year the range would be carrying a good winter load of snow ... but not this year .. a mild start to winter, more cold and damp for us at the moment ... which is more South Otago than Central. Usually we experience long spells of frosts with an inversion layer over the valley's. Long may the mild winter last ... however we do need the snow for irrigation and power generation during summer.

That's frustrating the rain may have got at the cable - cos the camera I believe is well inside an outdoor spotlamp housing. I know they Logitech QC Pro 9000 cameras are sensitive about cable quality more than others in the series and more so than other breeds too.

Nice to see your pic John and normally of good quality out of the 9000 series. The pic appeared to be back to front when I viewed it earlier...

TokWW · « **Reply #13 on:** June 19, 2012, 07:34:53 AM »

Good - I'm glad the picture is better today..

TokWW · « **Reply #14 on:** June 29, 2012, 08:49:42 AM »

Two webcam images - one with demisting, the other without... only 1 metre apart.

UPDATED 1 May 2023: It's probably about time for an update on my weather webcams as there has been a number of changes since I posted in 2020. I now have 3 webcams facing North, West and South. I sourced some cool little USB dome cameras which are designed to be used out doors. I did need to add some silica gel inside them as the south camera was fogging up sometimes. You can choose the lenses supplied with the product and I am quite happy with my wide angle choice however I think I'd choose the next side to make it less wide.

I continue to use "YAWCam" software and found I can run 3 instances of the program on one computer which is dedicated to running these webcams. The windows-based computer runs off a 100Ah 12V battery and 300w of solar array which also powers my air quality and ground sensors.

Palmerston North Weather Webcam (Sky Cam) is looking in a northerly direction. Foreground is the Palmy Weather weather station which is also illuminated at night. This webcam is updated every 15 minutes.

The Microsoft LifeCam HD5000 offers a true high quality image in wide screen. This is mounted into a ABS plastic weather-proof box with a 20m USB extension cable from the roof direct to the PC.
