The Astoria Webcam

The Astoria Webcam By Dan Sealy

Dear X10,

I thought you may be interested in this. It has certainly surprised me!

I took my XCam and mounted it in a 4"x4"x2" weather-proof electrical box, then put sealer around the lens cover where it comes through a hole in the box.

I mounted the whole thing on top of the mast on my amateur radio tower, ran the line down into the attic, and linked it to my computer in the basement with one of your wireless links (PC Video/USB Adapter).

I put together a web page for it, and sent it to a few friends (who obviously sent it to a few of their friends who sent it and so on!). In the last 5 days I've had over 1000 hits, an average about 15 per hour!

Sincerely,
Dan Sealy
