I just got emailed 3 hours ago. 2pm 30 Dec 2021 NZST that there is a camera that's come out with Ambient Weather. In the past I've considered getting one, but didn't end up doing so. This post belongs in the Weather Web Cams and Ambient Weather section. Neat to see that Ambient has released one. Currently listed for $99 USD (NZD$161.54) [free shipping in the USA]. It has 3x reviews, all 5 star. The earliest one being 28 Oct 2021, so it must have been out for a while now. It supports Windows 7 and later (plus other systems listed below), which I think is great. It says that "With 30pcs IR-LED, Night Vision Range up to 20m" in the manual. Only 25FPS which isn't as high as some things, but good enough for Weather. It is currently in stock.

Really neat to see them coming out with new products. I looked at their website and noticed that most of the old non WS-2000 WS-5000 and WS-2902 stations they no longer sell, I guess a move to the more modern designs that they've done.

Will be good to here more reviews about the Camera. :)

parsoli:
Casing and build/specs appear very close if not identical to the Foscam unit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M989TCK?tag=jasonboxjb-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

My experience with Foscam in the past was too much 'calling home to China' and blocking of ports on firewall rendered it useless, but that was some time ago.

interested as well to hear reviews!

kheller2:
Could one not just buy the Foscam and configure it to upload to ambient?

davidmc36:
My Foscam 9900 is loading to Ambient

kheller2:
Cool.. now we need a solar panel and supercap or batteries. I'm sure its been done.
