We were approached by the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce with the idea of installing some IP cameras or web cameras to showcase the beauty of the area surrounding downtown Dunedin. The idea was to mount the cameras on top of the roof on the chamber building which is located right downtown. 

For this job we had several obstacles to overcome. One of those obstacles was that the roof access was very difficult to deal with. It was difficult to reach the area where we wanted to mount the camera. Also we didn't want to be forced to rent a crane or cherry picker because of the additional cost it would add. Therefore we ended up using a special non-penetrating roof mount that would hang slightly over the edge of the building. 

We had to be sure the camera was properly grounded in order to keep current with local building codes as well as protect the IP camera from a lightning strike. This was especially important since the web camera ended up being just about the highest point on the building. 

You can see the view from the camera here on the chambers web page. All of the webpage script was specially written by Dan Zucker of Zucker & Zucker Marketing and web design.

The project was a collaberation of us, (AV Specialsits Inc.), the Chamber, Terbo Construction Group and Zucker & Zucker. All in all in turned out quite well and offers a nice view of the city showing off both the beautiful waterfront and fun nightlife.
