Webcam... The existing webcam has now been in place for close to a year. I have heard numerous comments with respect to it's location not being the best to allow a clear view of the lake conditions. Unfortunately this camera cannot zoom out any further and a more suitable location at Christine's Restaurant is not likely going to improve the existing view with this camera. I believe we have two choices to achieve a better lake view:
Choice 1 - Move camera to another location a few houses west (an offer has been made by owner). The implications of this would be the club having to likely fund the Internet circuit costs estimated at approx $700.00 per year.
Choice 2 - Procure another camera with improved capabilities such as zoom and colour. Estimated at 800.00 We then raffle off the existing camera to assist with the funding of a new one. (Christine's supplies the Internet circuit cost)
A suggestion was also to add a wind direction & tempurature device that would provide live website data.
Anyhow the forum is open to comments and a decision will be made at the membership meeting on 05 Jun 10.
