• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

What is the best webcam/camcorder for stream & how much data will be used?

I already have my accounts to stream and I have an "ok" webcam. My dash cam camcorder doesn't allow me to stream.

Also, I'm sitting on a 5g cap right now. With streaming, GRlevel3, and minor web posting like twitter and facebook. Will i run into problems with my 5g limit?

Thanks for the advice!
 
Brian, any camcorder can stream through the RCA composite output if you get a USB capture device like the EasyCap. Camcorders (even the older ones) generally work better than webcams because they have better sensitivity to light changes and image quality.

You shouldn't run into trouble with your 5GB cap if you only stream your storm intercepts (as opposed to everytime you drive on the interstate). Just watch your bandwidth usage after a chase or two to get a feel for how much bandwidth it uses.
