I hooked up an old analog camera I had laying around (one of the 15!) to an Axis 2400+ video server I bought off of ebay for $40. A little script that runs every minute and copies a picture from zoneminder to my webhost account. I added the picture as a widget to this website in the sidebar under the weather station doohickey. Once I verify the picture quality in the daylight, I’ll add it the weather cams at wunderground.com.
