Are there something like that already in existence?

So many mobile phones and tabs could take pictures and send by email.
If WE could find a cheap phone with internet access and camera, hang on street light post or something ( tree ), attach small , very small solar PV panel, battery will never get flat.
Phone could send a picture every 30 minutes to Seabreaze server from our favorite spots.
I think that finance could be easy raised among all us - wind and kite- surfers and shouldn't exceed $5 to $10 per spot. I think device shouldn't cost more then $200-400 including internet access per one spot.
We could write for formal consent to appropriate city council to hang our public equipment - web cam - on our public land.
I am first to offer $50 for webcam on my Shearwater, Gold Coast spot to our community pool rise money if that idea is do-able !

PS. Any problem with money? - ask you wife to sponsor - and she will be happy to see you still alive and in safe place ( not in the closest pub)

Good idea but costly!

1. Old donate phone $0.00
2. Recycled solar cell from garden lights $0.00
3. Weather proofing $30.00
4. Internet access for 1 year $200.00 +-
5. Vandal, idiot proofing it $5000.00
6. Public liability to cover vandal, idiot hurting himself trying to steal, damage it for 1 year $ 10,000.00
7. Going to the pub with my mates under the "going windsurfing today" smoke screen and getting caught by the higher power too pricy!
