• 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.

Looking for opinions on Weather Webcam Purchase

I am interested in setting up a weather-related webcam on top of a 27 story building. I am specifically looking for a camera that has a 360° pan with decent tilt options that can be operated from a remote computer, good zoom, decent megapixel, and an IR mode for nighttime viewing. This way I have control on what the camera "sees" when storms approach town, and with decent quality.

I have been doing some digging around but there are many folks here that know more about this than I do so I appreciate any opinions. My budget for this is not solidified yet so I'll entertain a variety options.

Thanks for any info!
 
What is the cost you are willing to pay. I know of a company that is based out of Florida that builds remote cameras, but they cost a lot, sometimes up to a couple grand. I'll have to find the company, but I know I have saved the name someplace. They did a lot of the cameras for the hotels and such on South Beach.

Edit: Found them: Erdman Video Systems, http://www.video-monitoring.com/evslist.htm
