For resorts, bait shops, and ice houses
Anglers check the ice, the harbor, and the weather before they leave. A camera on your place gives them a reason to look at your resort first.
Each camera uploads still images to its own folder on MidwestLakeCams. You get a page on this site, and instructions for putting the picture on your own website. An internet connection at the camera is required unless you choose LTE. A camera can also be preconfigured for a Wi-Fi network you already have.
Lodge or harbor Wi-Fi
For a spot that already has Wi-Fi. You connect the camera to your network. It uploads to its own folder from there.
No Wi-Fi at the camera
For a dock, launch, or ice house that cannot reach the building Wi-Fi. The camera uses a cellular connection. Internet at the building is not required.
Ready for your network
Same camera as the standard one, set up for your Wi-Fi before it ships. You mostly mount it and power it on.
Ready, and no Wi-Fi needed
The LTE camera, set up before it ships. The simplest choice when the camera is going somewhere with no Wi-Fi and you do not want to fuss with it.
If the camera can see the lodge Wi-Fi, start with the standard camera, or the preconfigured Wi-Fi camera if you want it ready for that network. If it is out on the dock, the launch, or an ice house with no signal from the building, use LTE. Tell us the spot and we will help you pick. Email Lakecams@MidwestLakeCams.com for current pricing before you order.
Resort name, phone, address, and a link to your website.
Stills upload to a folder that is separate from every other camera.
The still updates about every 15 seconds, the same way the cameras on this site work now.
The camera is listed on its lake page, so people looking up that lake can find you.
You get a snippet for the resort site. The picture stays live and links back to your page here.
Ice fishing, open water, coming soon, or camera down, so people know what they are looking at.
Resort name, lake, and whether that spot has Wi-Fi.
You get a page on MidwestLakeCams and a folder just for that camera.
Point it at the water, the harbor, or the ice. Preconfigured cameras are already set for the connection.
They look before they drive up. You can also put the picture on your own site.
Some resorts run more than one camera. One on the harbor and one on the access, for example. Each camera keeps its own folder and its own page. Ask about a second camera when you write.
Look at the Mille Lacs cameras to see how a resort page looks.
