Squawk7700 . How do I contact you

This is a really great initiative.

Thanks to Squawk and everyone else for their enthusiasm and efforts.

Sure thing, great to hear!

You can email me [email protected] or PM me here.

If you have WIFI and 240 volts onsite, cameras are $40 each.

If you don't have WIFI, it's $220 for the router and data, then add up to perhaps 2 cameras as $40 each.

Send me a message and we could have you online in as little as a week.

If anyone else thinks that their flying school, charter business or maintenance facility may want some cameras, please let them know and or let me know and I'll give them a call!

I've got quite a few sites waiting for committee approval so it's going to rapidly expand very soon as the wheels turn slowly, especially when committee meetings are usually once a month at best.

Three new cameras have come online this week. Two on Flinders Island (Tasmania) and one at Wangaratta.

Weather Cameras

Next week we are aiming for an additional 12. with two cameras at Lethbridge Airpark (near Geelong), a second camera which will be at Wangaratta, Warrnambool will have two come online and one more at George Town. With any luck three new sites will also appear next week including Colac, Barwon Heads and Heck Field.

With some luck, hard work and coordination there will also be two new sites in Tasmania in the next few weeks.

Other than that there are lots in the pipeline still awaiting decisions from aero club committees and countil approvals.

The majority of the systems are running the low cost 1mp WIFI cameras on WIFI, with two of the current sites running Telstra 4GX routers with a data SIM on 365 day plans. Wangaratta have a 4mp POE setup but even that is a low cost setup at < $120 per camera, so it's very affordable.

Well done Squawk. You can justifiably know you have really made a difference in air safety.
Is there no Interest so far from anyone in Coldstream/Lilydale area of camera or 2 pointed at Mt Slide or Black Spur?

Thanks to a generous donation and good effort from locals there is now 2 cameras on top of a 10m post at Mittagong.

This area is a “critical locality” with high terrain and a typical pathway in and out of the Sydney basin.

These are good images showing terrain and windsock. Also available on Ozrunways.

Skycam Network - Mittagong

I can't help in the short term with those two, however I'll meet you half way and give you two new cameras on Ozrunways by hopefully tomorrow. One overlooking Yan Yean reservoir from the north east and one from Glenburn pointing to the south west overlooking the Glenburn gap :-)

These new images come to us to use courtesy of a fellow pprune contributor that read the thread update today and offered his cameras, so thanks very much to that man and his company!


Re Lilydale - Management have said no to any cameras.

Coldstream are keen but currently have other priorities.

Thanks for the 2 new cameras and the fellow pprune contributor.
Jamie Doake (Landlord) at Coldstream is a great bloke and very keen to help in most things.

Thanks for the name. I've been chatting with Bob thus far.

They are the management :-)

I have no issue with anyone contacting them to help convince them it's a good idea, but I've tried a couple times and the idea made it to the management meeting and it was decided to not go ahead.
