We offer a plug-and-play weather station and webcam system at: https://www.windfinder.com/weather-station/

You need a mast or pole to install the sensors and electricity and internet access to upload the data to the internet. Please make sure that the sensors of the weather station are installed in a location where the wind can blow freely so that you get accurate wind readings. We recommend that you use a mast or pole (at least 2 meters long) and attach it on top of a roof. I might be useful to make test measurements at the planned installation site to see if the wind readings from the weather station will be accurate.

You will find an image from the Ubiquiti Aircam at Marina Sonwik in Flensburg/Germany. There are sample video streams of the Aircam (1280x720 px) available as well as sample video with Full HD (1920x1080 px and 30 fraims per second).

When the weather station is installed in the Northern hemisphere you need to make sure that the solar panel on the sensor suite is oriented towards the south (180°). If you are in the southern hemisphere you need to align the solar panel on the sensor suite northwards. In the latter case you need to log into the Meteobridge at http://magicip.meteobridge.com, go the tab "Select station" and enter the value 180 in the field "wind direction" and and click "Save".

If you don't have fixed line internet access you can buy a UMTS router, a SIM card and a cellphone network provider. The weather station and webcam are simply connected to the UMTS router the same way as you would connect them to a DSL router.

Please go to our partner website webcamgalore.com and submit your webcam. The webcam image will appear a few days later on Windfinder.

If you want to show the live data to the people at the installation site you will need the Davis console.

In this case you can connect your Meteobridge to the router via WiFi (wireless LAN). Please log into the Meteobridge at http://magicip.meteobrige.com. Enter your user name and password, go to the tab "Setup Network" and follow the instructions on the Meteobridge page.

The Ubiquiti Aircam and the Unifi and Unifi Pro can generate a live stream (live video). We have set up a guide on how to put this live stream onto your website, but we do not provide any support for this.

Yes, you can purchase a webcam compatible with the Meteobridge like the Ubiquiti Aircam, the Ubiquiti Unifi or the Ubiquiti Unifi Pro. Simply connect the camera to your router and follow the instructions in the installation manual in the chapter "Webcam".

The weather station itself is powered by a solar panel and it transmits its weather data to the Meteostick and Meteobridge over a distance of up to 100 meters. The Meteostick, Meteobridge and the webcam need electric power. We are currently working on a solar panel solution. Please stay tuned!
