I for one would find it really useful if there was a webcam overlooking the boat ramp to see if the conditions are condusive to launching. Otherwise I have to jump in the car and take a drive down there first, then drive home again and hook up the boat if all is good.
 
Who else would find this useful?

Who pays for all the other cams around like on the beaches, motorways, etc? Are they funded by individual groups like surf clubs or do the local councils pick them up?

A webpage could be setup for it with advertising for local businesses on the page. The local businesses pay for it as well as the hosting of the page. Could be managed by the marina.
 
Or even better, Fishing.net.nz can set it all up and have the webcam available thru this site. Smile. They can them earn some xtra income thru advertsing. What you say ADMIN?

I run a small hosting business in Whangaparaoa and would be happy to donate some resources to get something like this running.  The only real cost then would be the hardware.

I like the idea of promoting local business through the site too.

Would be entertaining more then anything watching idiots bung up the ramps and people getting fooked over by the crap design of the pontoons - time better spent would be getting a break water or a ramp setup to launch inside the marina like at hobbs warf

Good idea having a web cam at the ramp. Council can check to see how ****ed the ramp is after the next blow!
