We now have two cameras at the site on Mt. Vaca. An image from each camera is visible below. In addition, we have added a small gallery of notable images from the cameras.

The cameras on Mt. Vaca are D-Link DCS-900W web cameras, installed in a home built weatherproof housing. While the cameras support live video, we are not making it available here, due to the relatively static views and to save bandwidth. Instead, once every 30 minutes, the cameras upload an image to the website.
The first camera is aimed to the northeast. Sacramento is in the center of the picture in the distance. The Sierra Nevada mountains are in the far background.
View from the northeast camera:
The camera is temporarily off line.
The second camera looks southwest, toward the north end of the San Francisco Bay area. On a very clear day, you should be able to see the north end of San Pablo Bay and the Marin Headlands and Mt. Tamalpias. Other landmarks that are visible from the radio site, but will likely not show up due to the relatively low resolution of the camera, are the Richmond - San Rafael Bridge, the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge, and Sutro Tower.
