As the literal sun sets on another beautiful day in northeast Colorado, the sun is also figuratively setting on the current positioning of the BoulderCAST Livecam. As such, we’re actively searching for a new location to support our “eye to the sky” in Boulder. This is where you, our readers, can help out by providing the BoulderCAST Livecam a new home, whether it be in your backyard, condo balcony, or place of business! Please read on for more details.
UPDATE: Our sincere appreciation and thanks for all of the responses. We will be in touch with all of you in the next week or so.
CAMERA REQUIREMENTS:
The camera itself is weatherproof and can be attached to almost anything outdoors with just three small screws. It only needs to have an electrical outlet to plug into and access to a constant wireless internet connection (though it can take wired Ethernet as well). Power consumption of the camera is negligible.
The BoulderCAST team will help with the installation and network configuration required to get the camera up and running. As long as your internet connection is reliable, the camera requires no attention once installed. It will upload a single still image at a pre-determined interval to BoulderCAST.com via FTP.
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS:
As we are most concerned about the weather in and around Boulder, we prefer a location which has a good view of the sky, at minimum. Bonus points and preference given to Mountain views to gauge visibility and to get perspective on the cloud deck/precipitation.
In order to minimize the frequency of moving the camera, we also prefer an established, fairly private location where the camera won’t get damaged/stolen or need to be moved when a short-term lease expires.
Anywhere in the Boulder/Denver area (including the Foothills) will be considered.
