I got my first Weather Web-cam online today, via my WeatherUnderground account:

I wanted to look out at the horizon and keep a tree or two in the field of view, to give some perspective to the image. For my first attempt, I ended up using a DLink webcam, after realising that it had a feature built-in, to FTP a photo on a regular basis (every 5 mins). The picture quality isn't great, but its a start and its got me online. Just sat it on a window sill, and aimed it up to the sky accordingly. I had a power outlet on the wall directly below, and wifi is built in, so installation was pretty quick and easy...

Also has a feature to do a reboot every morning at a set time (1:00am) which may help with stability. Experience has shown that these low cost webcams are not the most stable device, and far from commercial grade.

Will have a play with a few other cameras at work, and see if any others suitable that may provide a better result. Will be sure to let you guys know if I find something better.

Cheers for now...
