Administration of webcams
Meteopool has more than 1000 webcams. These and new webcams require regular checks about the actuality and correctness of the information, so that one of most informative and precisely webcam maps in the internet can continue to shine with its quality. It's also important to fill gaps in the webcam maps with qualitative webcams. Even only the previous 1250 active webcams show, how much the administration effort and how high the decay rate will be.
