HD MotionCam Installation Manual
Release 1, Version 1.0 -5- February 2011
Thank You!
Thank you and congratulations on acquiring the WeatherBug HD MotionCam system.
The WeatherBug HD MotionCam captures images of local weather conditions with the
advantage of a much higher resolution and the flexibility of changing viewpoints as often
as desired. The quality of the images from the WeatherBug HD MotionCam is sure to
enhance your weather system.
By installing and operating the entire WeatherBug system, you become an essential part
of the WeatherBug program, an integrated network of weather stations comprising the
largest weather monitoring system in the world.
You can monitor a high-quality, live image from the camera using a computer connected
to a Local Area Network (LAN). The frame rate is 30 frames per second (FPS).
Captured images are also available through the internet at www.weatherbug.com.
Plan Ahead
Read this entire manual before beginning installation. The WeatherBug HD MotionCam
installation can be straightforward and easy to complete if all steps are followed closely.
In order to ensure the most efficient installation possible, you MUST follow the steps
in “Indoor Preliminary Setup” BEFORE installing ANY equipment outdoors.
The most important aspect of preparation is safety. Installation of the HD
MotionCam requires working with electrical cable, drilling through walls or other dense
support structures, standing on ladders, and possibly, walking on roofs. Please carefully
read the following section on “Safety.”
Please pay close attention to the section on “Site Evaluation.” A complete site evaluation
determines proper placement of the camera and will prevent the need to have to re-mount
the camera and re-route the cables.
All additional parts needed (such as ladders, drills, bits, etc.) should be assembled and
inspected before beginning installation. WeatherBug cannot accept responsibility for
damage caused by these tools so all safety precautions should be adhered to. This would
include the use of leather gloves and goggles when appropriate.
