Video Server for Tower Cameras
|
Andrew Koenig
All, One of the pending RWK projects is to install some webcams up on our main repeater site, and possibly other RWK sites as well. With other groups, I have already installed several cameras, including at 1500' on the Rosston tower out past Valley View. These are always fun to watch during storms. Here's a link to the server. It will include the RWK cameras when we get those on the air. user: rwk
pass: K5RWKK5RWK
The server may be rebooted a few times as I get it into the final location in the rack, but this should be fairly reliable.
Ubiquiti does have an app to view this from your phone, but it's quite
buggy and falls into the "use at your own risk" category. 73 de KE5GDB

This is really cool! What kind of cameras are you using?

These are all the Ubiquiti G3 Flex cameras. $80, POE (both 24v and 802.3ad), and available at microcenter. So far they've been really solid. They're performing a lot better than the Pi cameras I was using before.

Are they exposed to the elements? Have you done anything to protect them from rain / water? The quality looks real good. I am thinking I might mount one on my tower

No additional weatherproofing was performed. The Denton cameras have been out for over a year now without any issues. I would just suggest not mounting it upside down. If you can get a good view of the sky I'd be happy to host it on this server. I just don't want to host people's personal security systems. 73 de KE5GDB

Andrew, That’s cool. I would be interested in how exactly these are hooked up and how they are set up to record. When you get time we can discuss it. Thanks.

Are the cameras down?

My fiber got chewed by my attic chupacabras (probably squirrels), so the thing has been down for about a week. AT&T fixed it today, so I'll be booting the server up here in a few minutes. 73 de KE5GDB
