We are excited to offer free streaming video services to the Storm Chasing community!

Now everyone can see what you are seeing!  It's like having the world ride along with you while chasing.

Here are screenshots I took of active storm chasing in Texas on Monday 4/7.

Comparison

These were captured while the storm chasers were driving.

As you can see, the feed hosted by Ustream (www.ustream.tv) is very blocky and "pixelated". In comparison, the SevereStreaming feed is much clearer. Also notice there is no annoying logo over the video.

There's really no comparison to SevereStreaming. So, clear up YOUR stream, and get noticed! Sign up today!

I am really excited to be able to post about all that is going on here at SevereStudios and SevereStreaming. Up until now, we haven't really posted much about our technology. Since I am the Technology Lead here at SevereStudios, I have been very involved with all of the processing power behind our sites and setup. I also work for a large web hosting company here in Michigan. I am a server admin by day, and work on SevereStudios in my spare time (obviously).

Exciting news came from the fact that we went from a Windows VPS to a Windows dedicated server this weekend, and implemented ActiveDirectory so adding additional servers is seamless and easy. The specs on the new server are as follows:
Intel Core2Duo E4500 with 2 GB of RAM and a 160GB SATA Drive. We can upgrade the RAM if we need more horsepower.

We are currently working on getting everyone back up in ActiveDirectory and on the new server. We should have this completed sometime this evening.

Stay tuned to future updates. We have a lot more in store in the way of technical items!

SevereStreaming technologies are already being used by leading storm chasers, media groups, and more. Here is what some are saying about us:

"You folks are really on to something here! I've often thought of streaming footage of my chases and considered implementing it, but it always seemed too daunting and time consuming. However your service has taken all the hassle and difficulty out of it. Thanks for being there for the Chaser community. This is an excellent service!

"Kudos to the guys at SevereStudios. This is a killer service and they've done an outstanding job I think. A new door in chasing/spotting technology has been opened. I hope that in addition to it's appeal as entertainment, the NWS, SKYWARN, and media will embrace it as a new tool (of the many tools they use) in the public warning and verification/ground truth process."

"I would like to thank you for alerting us to your location and live streaming video earlier today during our severe weather. Your reports helped out, especially in our not-so-populated areas."
