The Treehouse webcam is located approximately 13 miles ENE of Mount Mansfield, Vermont. The webcam altitude is ~1350 feet and faces WSW towards Mount Mansfield and the northern end of the Sterling range of the Green Mountains.
Images are collected continuously, one every 20 seconds, by a Raspberry Pi camera running a version of Debian linux and stored on a network mounted drive. Every ten minutes the images are processed and the first image of the ten minute interval is uploaded for display using a modified version of the open sourced foto-webcam.eu software made available by Florian Radlherr. For stunning webcam images of the European Alps be sure to visit foto-webcam.eu.
Each night the 20 second images are processed and a time-lapse is created of the daylight frames using mencoder.
