• 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.

Streaming with a USB webcam...Sunlight, focus, gain, exposure

I need a good, but very basic webcam for streaming on SevereStudios. I will use Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2. I'm not going for high bit rate, but I need something that will look decent. The computer I'm using is my old Vista laptop, so the webcam can't be heavy on the resources. The camera has to have decent focus and automatic gain/exposure for when I'm going between rain/clouds and bright sunlight. I won't be streaming very often, but when I do stream, I don't want it to look like crap. I'm afraid to buy a camera without some reviews from someone that has used them before. A few cameras that I have seen mentioned on here before:

Microsoft LifeCam HD-5000
Microsoft LifeCam HD-5000s
Logitech HD Webcam
