Club is looking for a network/security camera

Hey guys,

The camera system in the ropes building needs to be reworked to stay up and look good. This is the one that looks directly into the setup area - the right hand column at http://flyfunston.org/history.php.html .

I'd like to put in a network camera - one that just plugs into an ethernet connection (which we have in that building) and runs its own web server and image uploader. Something like these would work: http://www.axis.com/products/video/came ... utdoor.htm or http://www.iqeye.com/iqeye300.html .

Do you have a network camera you could donate? Do you work for a company that makes them and would be willing to donate one to the club, or at least sell at a non-profit discount?

The camera will be inside but will point outside. As a result, most of the really inexpensive network cameras (e.g. http://www.axis.com/products/cam_206/index.htm ) won't work - the light outside is too bright and will burn them out in no time.

Please post here or get in touch with Daniel Pifko at http://flyfunston.org/officers.php.html .

Thanks,

Daniel

Fellow Feathers received a spiffy new web camera donated by Iqeye! (click their ad on the wind page)

I helped Daniel Pifko do the install this afternoon and it will go online after a brief testing period!
