Photos of Tempest Installations :tempest:

Excited to finally say that I joined the clan… 1st installation was on a tree stake (picture) subsequently, I have extended the height with a fence top bar per recommendations. Teething problems with the unit calibration on collecting rain so once I have the replacement I will be golden. Install was a breeze, amazed at the distance I can place the unit away from the house and love love love the design !..

Got my unit about a month ago, and originally had it mounted on a 5’ PVC pole attached to the eave of the house. However, I ended up getting false rain readings from wind movement, so I moved it down until I could get a steadier pole installed. Since that, though, the readings here have been exactly the same, so I don’t see a need to raise it back up!

The weathercam footage is still spectacular even without the added 5 feet.

Just curious what cam you are using.

It’s a Unifi G3-Flex cam. Based on its location and use, I’ve turned off the IR and night mode settings.

For a camera?
They do make a G3 micro that is wifi, indoor only.
Issue is you still need to power it.
So with that out of the way, send power through the data (POE) and presto! Problem solved.

There are other ways to make cameras work semi and fully autonomous. Just really down to how big your budget is. :wink:

Ce pot de cheminée est-il utilisé? Je serais préoccupé par la température des gaz de combustion.

Bonjour,

Merci pour votre message mais la cheminée ne fonctionne pas. Les mesures sont ok :blush: sauf pour la pluie ! :tired_face:

C’est un bon emplacement et oui, le pluviomètre a des problèmes. C’est plus un détecteur de précipitations qu’une jauge!

Hey Jimmy! I don’t frequent this forum much, but sorry for a delayed response. Born and raised from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, moved to North Augusta in 2015. Moved to Graniteville / current weather station location in January, 2017. Since 2017, I have observed / recorded a TRACE of snowfall (Feb 2018). I sure would like to record snowfall events in the future.

On my roof in Brooklyn, NY:

This is the roof a 5-story apartment building and my apartment is on the ground floor, so I couldn’t have the hub in my apartment. Instead, I put it in a waterproof box, powered it with a PoE->USB splitter from the mesh Internet equipment that you see there, and also added a 2.4 GHz AP on the pole for it to talk to (only had 5 GHz previously).
