Host a Camera Location
Good camera sites usually have a reliable internet connection, a safe mounting location, a useful view of the sky or a local roadway, and permission for long-term operation.

Camera Host & Sponsor Program
Alabama Scanner is building a practical live-camera network for broad sky, roadway, and community-condition views across Northwest Alabama.
Future cameras should support the Live Center by adding broad weather and road context without turning private spaces into public surveillance.

What makes a useful public weather camera
Cameras should add broad public awareness without pointing into private spaces or exposing identifiable private activity.
What Makes a Useful Weather View
The most helpful views show approaching sky conditions, public road impacts, or a broad community landmark without pointing into private homes, yards, windows, license plates, or places where people reasonably expect privacy.
Planned Coverage Priorities
Priority areas include Marion County, Lamar County, Winston County, and nearby towns where a camera could improve storm awareness, road-condition awareness, or public visibility during major weather and community events.
Sponsor Local Coverage
Sponsors can help support weather visibility for communities that need better live situational awareness during storms and other local events.
Where camera views will fit
Approved camera views can eventually support the Weather Center, community board, public road awareness, and severe-weather context. Cameras should complement scanner and weather data, not replace official alerts or emergency instructions.
