Expense update:
To try and solve the issues over the last few weeks, I had to upgrade my web hosting to a VPS (Virtual Private Server). The webcams are using up to 450GB of monthly bandwidth. Web hosting costs have now doubled to $105/month. The latest purchase was a weather station for IV and transmitter costing $1740. Thank you for the donations that help to keep the website going!
