It is an important question. What does weather look like? How best do we communicate dangerous situations to the public, so they know what to look for to stay safe? How do we better show climate change? How do we increase engagement to share more information?
The answer to all of these questions is as simple as LIVE cameras.
Why just talk about the snow in the mountains? Show it to your viewers… in real time.
Why just talk about this morning’s earthquake? Show a nearby camera shaking.
Why just warn viewers and social media followers about a line of dangerous storms? Show the storm, and its shelf clouds, wall clouds, and lighting… in real time… and follow that storm as it crosses the sky.
Why just talk about how beautiful the sunrise or sunset was today? Show it… in real time… or with an automatically created timelapse.
Our easy to set up HD PTZ camera systems and production server make it easy to quickly create quality weather content to share with viewers, visitors to your website, and social media followers.
And it’s more than just local! With our network of cameras, climate content can come from around the world. From London to Aruba to Honolulu, from Kenton-on-Sea to Kranj to Kaiserslautern, from Volcan de San Salvador to Mount Hood to the Matterhorn, thousands of cameras are at your disposal, all live, all on one system.
Enhance your weather presentations with real time, real-world examples of tornados, hurricanes, thunderstorms, lenticular clouds, crepuscular clouds, fog, smog, vog, floods, and Saharan dust. Don’t just explain what’s happening in the atmosphere, show it!
