You've got to buy a camera, you've got to buy a webcam server, then you've got to pay for a professional installation... it adds up.

The webcam we have on the launch was about 2 times more expensive than Canon CB-50i predecessor (at a time); that's what these guys have on Cardiff reef.

Big thing for us was infra red, ability to see in the dark... which the current camera does have - not great, but it's there.

Our webcam will soon turn the 4th year of service. We're coming up on a time where, like it or not, we'll have to replace it.
I really appreciate the webcam and all the work done to keep it up and running. I was just thinking outloud. I would be up for donating some bucks if this goes anywhere. I was dreaming about a stream that would look like Youtube. I don't know if that's even reasonable.

Another thought about people checking out your kayak. The camera might help identify a thief.

I like the large view.
