I have been considering mounting a video camera on the tower for kicks and giggles. Maybe streaming the video? Anyone doing this? Any model recommendations?
Grounding, Shielded Coax, Network Surge Protection, and be willing to replace Camera often due to Lightning and High Electrical Energy.
Have done a few for Customers cheap pan tilt zones do not live long high end Axis PTZ's have lived the best.
I just replaced my old PTZ cam on my roof with a AXIS P5655-E PTZ camera. Works great - will see how long it lasts in the beach environment where it is mounted 10 feet off a 35 foot roof. The first one lasted 5 years through various storms and getting blasted by salt water and high winds.
The only issue I have so far is the POE unit to supply power to the camera interferes with the Airspy SDR units. Lots of RF interference all over the bands.
