The cameras have tiny heaters in them. And yes, they are all weather.
Um, how about another camera in addition to the two on the tipple? When we first turned them on, the field was wide. The view field covered a much wider span. Everyone thought the current field of view was the best.
The system is expandable. The hard part is done. More cameras and other devices can be mounted on the tipple, bunk house and bathroom building. With additional transmitter nodes, we can extend signal. How about a Cumbres web cam? If someone wants to donate, we can hook up a lot more.
