Hyperlocal Sharing

[robpur]

In my video Wet Wipe Woman a note was left attached to the yield sign which got a lot of attention from people passing by. This started me thinking about advertising my YouTube channel with a sign, but I was reluctant to advertise the YouTube channel locally in case things didn't go as hoped. You never know how people are going to react to being recorded and put on the Internet. So I opted to set up my own video server using PeerTube which I can shut down at any time without effecting my YouTube channel. PeerTube mostly mirrors YouTube with a few exceptions. After setting up the server I hung a sign that reads "What Happened Here" and listed the URL. The sign also has old school tear-offs with the address on them. I'm not listing the address here because I want only local traffic so I can keep track of it. People have been viewing the sign, some take pictures of it while some take tear-offs.

Here's a couple of short videos that shows a couple of blonds discovering the site. This is an experiment and I don't plan to leave the server up indefinitely, but I'm curious to see what happens after people know the camera is there. The second blond is having fun with it.

Can you mount a 2nd camera next to the one you already have, and of course change the angle for a different view?

Yes, but the additional area covered would be bushes and trees. I can't see any more of the street from that location. Here's the current camera zoomed out. Even if the cam was moved to the big tree near the end of the driveway it could not see to the left due to bushes and trees. It could see a bit more to the right, but not much.
