The cam is mounted to the building! Phew, the hard part is over. Thanks to some much needed help, the install was flawless for a change and it was a beautiful day to block traffic in downtown Blue Ridge. Now I just need to hook it to the router and it's good-to-go. The owners were in ATL today, so hopefully I'll have it live before Monday.

Mucho gracias to Larry the fire chief, Tony the TDS guy, and Randy the guy that gets it done!




I think the above is a good illustration of the difficulty of this installation: no roof access (couldn't mount higher anyway or you would see wire close-ups in pans/zooms), awning & light pole in the way for ladder access, boom in the busy street, pedestrians, overhead wires, had to go almost to roof level to push the wire into the bldg at the proper spot.







Nice reflection on the dome plexi, a good sign I'd say...
