The IP cam can be positioned south, east and north.

This is a side view of the tower facing west as the sun is setting. This is the primary direction in which the winds will be blowing towards in most hurricane conditions.

This image is from across the street in the direction that the cam usually faces.What you usually see is where this shot was taken from.

This is the concrete slab that is 6 FT deep with rebar steel rods as reinforcement. The tower is heavily grounded as well.The instruments & cam have generator backup to continue recording during hurricane conditions.

This is the letter of approval from the homeowners association to allow the tower placed in 2003.

Here is the permit issued to construct the tower approved by the city in 2003.
