Time-Lapse 4th of July Webcam

*** Webcam Server ***

Server running webcam scripts crashed last night (4th of July) with a hard drive failure. Good news the webcam itself is still operational. Hopefully with any luck I'll be able to recover the data.

*** "Kill-a-watt" is a cool tool ***
I measured the power consumption of the webcam with a "kill a watt". It uses about 4-5 watts when OEM power supply is plugged into an outlet. With the homemade PoE (Power over Ethernet) setup it uses 7-8 watts. Stay tuned. I am planning to reduce that consumption with a more efficient DC-2-DC converter.

*** Webcam Update ***

The webcam is now publishing images on the web. At the very bottom of the blog is the latest camera image. The images are uploaded/updated every min. Sorry... no realtime video.
