Buffalo Pass Web Cam?????

[Toddstud2003]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone ever thought of puting a web cam up at Buff Pass? Like at the tower?

I've thought of it, but the problem is getting the digitized video to where you want it (i.e. the internet). To get it from the communications site everyone calls Tower would take one of the site users to give (sell) you the bandwidth (fractional T1) that would be required for usable video. The other issue is security, to keep the hackers out of the bandwidth providers system. The most important would be who's going to pay for use of the bandwidth?

There's probably already an internet connection up there. Wireless is another option. Directional antennas could shoot a wifi signal quite a distance.
