Regarding the cable entry, maybe it's sealed inside with a gland. I have CCTV cameras like that.
That lower operating temperature worries me, but only time will tell. We've been getting a few freezing nights so it will eventually be tested.
The cable entry bothered me. Years of tearing down things which had suffered from water ingress (even though they were "waterproof") has taught me not to rely on unseen glands. Given the wet winter environment here, I decided that a glob of silicon sealer was a bit of cheap insurance.

Yes, good point. I agree, the sort of thing I do too. I don't trust seals and glands either.

Sorry, no banner - weather station out of action. Hoping to be up and running with a new home-made one soon.
Everything is up and running. (A lot of tweaking required).
Webcam page is here. Very sparse at the moment, but I wanted to give interested parties a chance to see running. It refreshes every 5 minutes. Still have some script to work on. The floating window renders an old picture (maddening!). Initially it will take 30 seconds for the countdown timer to produce the latest image. (again, maddening).
Noticed overnight that I had to seriously reduce the brightness level on the rendered image. Vehicle headlamps totally obscured the image in total darkness. During the day I'll bring that up to a more normal level.
More later.
Cheers
Dave

Thanks Steve. I have fixed in the original post. And here I thought I had eradicated all the spurious "l"s running around the house. The things are worse than spiders in a Chestnut tree.

Not a bad picture considering the weather you're having. Quite similar to hear in the UK apart from you have some snow lying on the kerbside. I'm keeping your picture on my screen to see how the traffic builds up

Heh! Yeah! Take a look at about 45 minutes past the hour on even hours. That's ferry traffic from the mainland. The morning commute into Victoria is pretty much done at this point.

Even though it is like 2PM, it is really dark out, so that could explain it still trying to run the IR LEDs... Mine is mounted on the back of my garage, with all the cables and connectors able to go though a window, so they have no chance of getting wet. This summer I'll probably drill a hole in the wall with grommets and run it though there.

I note your using an FI8904, not sure what the difference is? Anyway, just thought I would mention that the live feed link didn't work for me.
