Thank You!

 

 
Thank you and congratulations on acquiring the Earth Networks HDCam system.  The 
Earth Networks HDCam captures images of local weather conditions with the advantage 
of a much higher resolution than with cameras previously offered.  The quality of the 
images from the Earth Networks HDCam is sure to enhance the benefit of your weather 
system.  With very little configuration required, setup for this camera is straightforward 
and fast.  
 
By installing and operating the entire Earth Networks system, you become an essential 
part of the Earth Networks program, an integrated network of weather stations 
comprising the largest weather monitoring system in the world. 
 
You can monitor a high-quality, live image from the camera using most web browsers 
connected to a Local Area Network (LAN).  The maximum frame rate is 30 frames per 
second (FPS).  Captured images are also available through the internet at 
www.earthnetworks.com.
