Hardware
The weather station is a Oregon WMR200 with the instruments located on my roof in Bellmere, near Caboolture in South East Queensland, and they are approximately 14m (47 feet) above mean sea level. The receiver is connected to an HP Proliant server with automatic imports from the weather station software into a SQL Server database every two minutes. Two minute data is stored for one day, however five minute readings are kept for historical reporting and are manually imported to the main database every couple of days.
Webcam Images and the lightning tracker and connected to an DL380 and copy their images to the webserver every 30 seconds. The main reason for the two seperate server is that the web / database server only had 2 PCI slots and the addition of the Boltek Storm Tracker required a third. As a backup the Weather database is mirrored to the webcam server.
All servers and connected to each other and the internet by a wireless network and are powered through an Eaton UPS.
