Wisconsin Point Camera Replacement

Update: 2/27/2022 - The new camera is installed and waiting for power to be restored to the WP Pier by the COrps of Engineers.

Update: 2/18/2022 - I'm am so grateful to the 68 viewers who donated a total of $2594 in a day.

I will order the camera and hope to get it up before shipping begins in March.

2/16/2022 - The Wisconsin Point Camera failed after four years of reliable service. The camera is located at the end of the Wisconsin Point Pier.  It happens that I was planning on replacing the camera this year anyway. Wisconsin Point is a unique location and a new camera is certainly worth it. 

The good thing is, all of the support systems are working, so the replacement should be relatively easy. 

Depending on camera availability and weather, my goal is to have the camera up and running by April 2022, sooner if things fall together.

As always, thank your generous and faithful support of the harborcams.
