Case Study: BAMChase.net achieves interactive weather streaming with Wowza Video

BAMChase.net - Customer Case Study

BAMChase.net, an interactive weather monitoring site founded by storm chasers and meteorologists, needed a better way to deliver live weather streams and forecasts after seeing a gap in weather consulting and monitoring following an unexpected tornado in Henryville, Indiana. The team wanted a more manageable, feature-rich platform for streaming live camera feeds to homes, businesses, and media outlets, and turned to Wowza Video’s streaming technology.

Wowza Video, using Wowza Streaming Engine and a local server setup with JW Player, helped BAMChase.net simplify and control its live stream distribution. The result was a fully interactive weather network running about ten IP cameras with live Indiana weather feeds that became valuable enough for local TV affiliates and even national news outlets to use, while remaining affordable and scalable for future expansion.
