Summary

In August 2014, a Greene’s Bay weather station began carrying a west-facing webcam. After a short configuration outage, the operator reported that it was working again; in October, the Chamber of Commerce said the camera had been added to the Beaver Island Visitors Guide after permission was provided.

Evidence limits

The thread provides first-party launch and restoration notices and a Chamber listing announcement. It does not establish continuous availability, archived images, or a technical uptime record.

Sources

  1. The operator announced a webcam at a Greene's Bay weather station, described a router/configuration outage and restoration, and later reported that the Chamber added the camera to the visitor guide with permission. The Chamber account corroborates the listing, while the thread does not establish continuous uptime or independently verify the technical explanation.

  2. The Chamber directed readers to a single page aggregating five Beaver Island webcams. This corroborates public promotion of the camera network, but does not establish continuous operation or the identity and uptime of each camera.
