Weather Station and Web Camera Hardware and Software Options
AnythingWeather has a large knowledge base of weather station and web camera hardware and software. We help businesses, government agencies and individuals choose the right combination of hardware and software to establish their single or multi-site weather networks.

AnythingWeather has developed an exclusive weather station and web camera combo package that does not require a computer on-site. However, we also offer most brands of weather stations and have a web camera solution to fit just about any need. If you have any questions about the following options or want something custom, contact us at 800-845-0383 for a free consultation.

  • Complete system includes a high-quality weather station AND live web camera.
  • Our exclusive system does not require a computer on-site!
  • System programming is customizable for almost any application.
  • System can be installed and operated remotely using wireless internet access and/or solar power if required.

Contact us for custom configurations.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Using your dedicated internet connection, the system collects, stores, and transmits your data and live images instantly to AnythingWeather.com for real-time display and archival.The weather station links to the web camera using a single cable, or the weather data can be sent to the camera via wireless tranceivers. Wireless transmission is recommended when the weather station and web camera are installed more than 50 feet apart. The system requires two 12 volt power sources at the installed location, or the system can operate 100% using solar power.

As with all our live data feeds, weather information and live images collected from the exclusive AnythingWeather system are immediately available for clients to display on their own website as well.This data and image feed can be delivered directly to your website via XML, RSS, ASCII, FTP or through a custom-designed website hosted by AnythingWeather.
