I stopped by the beach house restaurant just down from agate park. The manager seemed quite interested and happy to have a camera installed there she said she had to check with owner and gave me her contact email. I told her (as a sales pitch)she may be able to also link to their website if thats possible.

Thanks Windjunky. Yes just power and internet needed. The webcam can be mounted in an outdoor enclosure and one cable with both power and internet goes to their router/modem. We would have to find out where to mount it and how close the router is. For sure they can have a banner ad with a link to their site on the webcam page.

Just pm me if thats definately where you would like one and I will email the manager or give you the address. I am an electrician and will definately help install but not an internet wizard, Just let me know when you would like to install it. And anything else they need to know about. any legalities etc

Has anyone asked BA if she would be up for hosting a bwd camera? Lives a couple doors down from the Agate lane launch and actively involved in the wind community

Plus if anyone needs someone for installation i own a constuction company with lots of ladders, scaffold, tools, and miscellaneous materials, screw, bolts, and brackets. Just let me know whats needed and we can arrange a time to install

No problem, sorry it took so long. No streaming (for now) since that has been a big PITA to maintain.

Thanks to the donations, we should have a beach side weather station in 2-3 weeks too 8) Big thanks to the Michell family!
