Weather Cameras for clouds
TimeAlongTheWay:
I currently own an Ambient Weather WS-2902 weather station that works well. As an addition I would like to find a weather camera to mainly capture sunrises and sunsets. I purchased a Ambient weather camera but though it was fairly clear and sharp the color rendition and cloud definition was very very poor. There is a myriad of cameras on Amazon but it is difficult to know what is going to capture the color and definition decently. I currently use a Nikon P1000 on superlapse mode to capture but want something of a fixed nature that does not break the bank. Thank you.

Reolink cameras are pretty good and in low light too, i.e. they can see the larger stars (planets) and they can see night clouds.

I wrote a post (https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=43546.msg443473#msg443473) on how I set up my webcam earlier this year to include hardware and software I purchased. I have a REOLINK RLC-510A PoE IP Camera and I use IPTimelapse software. Here's where my camera is displayed: https://novawx.dscloud.me/wxcam.php. Hope this helps with your decision.

If you want a good camera that can do day and night (the most interesting time actually) you need to spend in thousands.
Good luck.

Could you give some examples of camera models "in the thousands" ? Just curious what expensive cameras you know of that are being used for all sky views. This might be helpful in deciding how much to spend. As has been mentioned the Reolinks are affordable and can be used.
