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 and five 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.

The Webcam and the lightning detector are connected to a seperate Dell PC and copy their images to the HP Prolient webserver every 30 seconds. For redundancy, the Weather database is asynchronously mirrored to the webcam server.
All servers are connected to each other by a wireless network and the database and webserver are powered through a shared Eaton UPS, and the webcam and lightning server is powered through it's own Eaton UPS.

The internet modem, router and Cisco firewall are also powered through a shared UPS, which will enable the entire system to be available for approximatly one hour during any power outages. (The average summer storm)
