alex Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Well, it's a trace better than nothing! We've been getting so much dew here that it's almost like getting a trace every morning. I wake up to the roof dripping every day! DP is currently 65. Blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outdoor webcam is now on sale. Are you going to get a weather cam as we now are going into the more "interesting" weather seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I am going to hold off on hydroseed/renovation until Spring. I am really tired of cutting this pos part of the lawn and looking at it for over 3 years now.

Lava Rock Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Back in Spring I reseeded under the oak and got some growth, but it all died. Wasn't due to lack of water, but poor soil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision I have to make is whether to go the easy route (Nest), and suck up the $100/year fee (I *really* want timelapse!), or go with Hikvision and IPtimelapse software... a bit harder to set up, but it will save a lot in the long term... What to do, what to do! I want it up in October though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What to do, what to do! I want it up in October though I've said it before, but get a Sharxcam and IP View (freeware if you buy the cam) and you can timelapse with that. The Sharx cam is great, can also act as motion sensor, SD card backup, great res. They have awesome tech support too. My cams runs 24/7 with no issue on wifi.

Lava, You know I have the Nest Cam but I don't like it for a weather cam. The lens is a very wide 130 degrees. So its great for security but not for seeing snow falling etc. I would say the above advice is what I would go with. Over the years of enjoyment you will get (and all of get to view) you'll be kicking yourself if you go with an option that might save you a few bucks. Just so you can compare here is a link to my Nest Cam. This is sitting inside the window on a ledge. That's my sprinkler head right in the picture. https://video.nest.com/live/CNqA9P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 0.2" in the Stratus eyeballing it from the deck. Looks about what most PWS have for that line (0.1-0.3") as it moved from BTV through to eastern VT.

dendrite Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I plan on getting more 3MP Hikvisions. I already have IPtimelapse and the cams are only a little over $100 from an official dealer. Those Sharx ones look nice too...I think they're a couple hundred though? the Stardots are nice, but way overpriced compared to what you can get today. Even their insane black friday deals are pricey. It's like they think they're the Vaisala of cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
