Just a minor update for this thread.
I recently purchased and set up a weather camera for an airfield.
The camera can be purchased here:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4G-WIFI-...wAAOSwjyhaIifr
Camera $175 (needs 240/12 volt power, but doesn't need a wired internet connection)
Telstra 4G data only SIM card (40gb - 365 days) $150
Upload your photos to a website (Approx $10 a month or even less) including a domain name. Eg. Myairfield.com $120 p/a. Alternatively, I have one and you are welcome to use it or there are plenty of people out there who can host your photos for nix.
Photo size 145k approximately.
Photo taken every 2 minutes. Therefore 20 per hour, X 24 hours x 365 days x 145k = Approximately 38 gig per year - perfect.
Alternatively an ALDI card on Telstra for $100 will get you a photo recorded every 4-5 minutes.
Also can add an SD card to the camera to record the same photos twice as often.
Long story short, aside from the 240/12 volt power requirement, this is a stand-alone system. No weather information is included, however you could just point it towards the windsock.
Year 1 cost - $325 (includes camera) - if photos are hosted somewhere for free
Year 2 cost - $150 (data cost)
Added to OZrunways as a weather cam - FREE (thanks guys for helping with this)
Not a big investment guys and it would be great to have more weather cameras, particularly in Victoria. There's only a few thus far!!
If you're thinking about setting one up, let me know and I can give you the finer details.
