We are looking for another Miami Beach location.  If you would like to offer your roof top, we can do the rest at our expense and we will maintain a web page with high quality imagery like that seen below. In addition, we can help promote your hotel, restaurant, club or whatever.

Recent Changes to the Camera System

 

          Oct 17 2003: A new camera and pan/tilt unit has been installed and the results are excellent.  The 5 mega-pixel Olympus C-5050 digital camera takes some of the highest resolution shots on the internet.  A polarizer has been attached to the lens, and the saturation levels have been increased to provide beautiful images that show almost glare free colors, allowing one to see the near shore turbidity patterns and the colored (typically darker) waters that comes out from Government Cut (the entrance to the Miami Port and the inter-coastal water areas). The camera has been mounted on its side, that is, rotated 90 degrees from the normal position, so the images are taller than they are wide.  This picture shows the inside of the camera housing.  Next to the digital camera is the Sony block video camera.  It has excellent low light capabilities and an 18x optical zoom.
