This camera provides a view of the rural area south of Bloomfield, IN. Needless to say, you will not see much activity in these images. That is the beauty of living in a rural setting. I hope the pristine landscape makes up for that. This camera is pointed towards the west/southwest. This choice of view gives you a front row seat to view incoming weather systems.

I use a few processes to format the weathercam image for display. Let me detail those for you:

• The camera takes a snapshot, saving the time and date information as part of the filename.
• The camera itself will transfer the image to a local server using FTP
• A custom application that I have written, called Theia, will find the image on the server and download it for processing.
• Theia will then stamp the image with weather and time/date infomation. Once stamped, the image is archived on a local server then uploaded to HoosierWeather.com.

After the above process is complete, I now have each image archived on a local server. At the completion of each day these archived images are compiled into a video that shows the movement of weather systems throughout the day. Dropdown the "Weathercams" menu above and select "Time Lapse Videos", or select it from the listing below.
