My neighborhood is on the far southwest edge of the DFW area. From my roof I have an unobstructed westward view of rural land for as far as the eye can see (blocked from the ground by neighbors). A roof cam that takes decent quality pictures and has ample zoom would be a real treat for seeing and photographing approaching thunderstorms (and spying on livestock).

Do any of you have experience with a non-mobile setup like this? I'd appreciate recommendations for good weatherproof cameras/systems. And preferably affordable for a regular man. :)

Thank you.
 
Hey Stephen,

I receive a catalogue from an outfit called Provantage once a month and I noticed that they sell all types of network cameras. I looked on their website and found a link to these products in their store:

They have all models and configurations available (wired versus wireless). Based on what you described I thought this sounded like the best solution, although I'm sure there are others. You'll definitely want something that is durable and weatherproof if you put it on the roof.

Thanks,
Mark
 
Some type of IP Camera would be your best bet, they are a little costly though, I have had great experience using the brand Axis.
 
Thanks. Axis outdoor dome cameras look perfect. They're too expensive for me but at least now I know what type of camera I'm looking for.
