• Delano Flood Cam We installed a camera on a local ice cream shop's roof and pointed it at the bridge crossing the Crow River in Delano. Using the Leightronix PEG Vault and PEG Streaming equipment we were able to stream a 24 hour live shot of the river to the city of Delano's web site so the citizens of Delano could monitor the rising water. Hundreds of people monitored the city web site and also came down to the river to look at the camera. We could see people waving at our camera while talking on their cell phones presumably to people who were watching them on the internet. Several news stations shot video of our equipment for the nightly news. The ice cream shop owner, whose is a former Delano mayor, reported a huge increase in business. Mark is using the video we recorded with the PEG Vault to create a program about the event. This was an extremely creative use of our equipment and it was gratifying to see that so many people enjoyed it. Maple Lake City Hall Building Interface Before the Maple Lake St. Patrick's Day Parade we installed a building interface that allowed us to connect our trailer to City Hall without having to run cables through the front door. We ran Cat5 cables across the ceiling to the playback equipment and also ran our AC with the assistance of Jerry Sawatzke, Maple Lake's Public Works Director. We would like to install similar outlets in our buildings where we do frequent trailer shoots. This really helps in the winter as it keeps our cables off the ground and away from running children and keeps the cold air out of buildings. In the future if you are planning any remodeling or other construction to city buildings, schools or community centers please let me know so we can see if this type of interface is possible. •
