 Extensive list of features for Client Services members  
You will have access to a variety of live video streams all year long:Our Hurricane Outlook and Discussion is a live video briefing broadcast for our Clients Monday through Friday at 11am ET during the hurricane season. The video outlines any potential development areas and when a named storm or hurricane is active, the discussion goes in to detail concerning potential impact to land areas. During hurricane field missions (some tropical storms too), we will activate our popular HIRT Chevy Tahoe cam which provides our Clients with a live view, complete with audio, from inside the SUV. In addition to the traditional dash cam, we also have a wireless hand-held cam system to take you outside of the Tahoe when ever possible. Where ever we go, you come along too! Never miss the action again. In addition, we will create archive videos along our route and throughout the mission which can be easily accessed via the new Stormpulse tracking maps that we are employing for 2011. Our vehicle cam is unlike anything else available on other live streaming video sites- and is available only to our Clients. 
Once we determine where we will set up for a hurricane landfall, we will carefully consider locations to deploy our three remotely operated Storm Case cams. These remotely operated camera units stream live video to our Clients no matter how severe the hurricane is. In fact, the more intense the conditions, the more exclusive these cameras become since the news media have to flee the immediate coast for safety. Our remote cams will remain behind and stream hi-quality video for up to 30 hours each! Our Clients will have access to all three remote cams plus the Tahoe cam for a total of four live cams. Note: not all situations will warrant the use of all three remote cam units and their deployment will be determined on a case by case basis.In addition to tropical storm and hurricane events, we will, from time to time, stream live video of other severe weather such as coastal storms, Nor'easters and even the occasional trip to Tornado Alley for testing of new equipment. Our Clients will have access to these off-season streams.  
In addition to our vehicle and remote cam units, we will utilize our RC plane to provide extraordinary live and recorded video from above. We plan to use this aerial video before and after a hurricane landfall event when we expect significant damage. In cases such as the aftermath of a severe hurricane, our plane will be able to provide both live and archived video of sections of coastline not otherwise accessible to ground crews. We will share this video with local law enforcement, emergency management and other relevant relief agencies in the affected area at no cost to them.The live stream will originate through our "Tahoe cam" feed so that we can narrate what you're seeing in real time. We can switch from our vehicle cam to the plane cam instantly while maintaining the audio feed from inside the Tahoe. This will allow us to communicate to our Clients what is going on in the view from the plane- a truly extraordinary leap ahead in our capabilities. One important note about our aerial video: We will record our fly overs in HD video and make this video available to our Clients in MPEG4 format. You will not have to wait for days to access high-definition video of the affected area. We will upload it as soon as possible from the field, often times within a few hours of the flight. Video clips from our flights after Irene in North Carolina( raw video, lots of prop noise)  
One key aspect of Client Services is our ground based weather data. We will deploy up to three 5-meter wind towers to provide our Clients with wind speed data coupled with barometric pressure data. We use RM Young equipment and have each piece of field instrumentation calibrated before the start of the hurricane season to ensure maximum reliability of the data. In addition to live weather data, each tower will also be equipped with a camera that will upload a still image several times per minute. The interface will display the 1-minute average wind speed along with the peak gust for that minute along with the current barometric pressure reading at the site. A growing archive of the data will be available in real time as well. 
What would a hurricane tracking site be without exceptional tracking maps? Starting in 2011, HurricaneTrack.com began partnering with Stormpulse.com to provide tracking maps based on the incredibly popular Stormpulse tracking map system. We have the Stormpulse map embedded on the Client Services homepage plus a full screen version with auto-refresh exclusively for Client Services members. 
HurricaneTrack.com Client Services members will have access to a live chat box that is always active. Reserved only for our Clients, the chat serves as a great way for us all to get to know each other, share information, communicate in real time with the HurricaneTrack.com staff and much more. This is very effective during our live broadcasts and allows us to answer your questions live and instantly. During our field missions, you can ask us questions directly over the chat and we'll be able to answer to YOU live right over the video stream! The addition of the live chat feature in 2010 was a huge success and became very popular among existing Clients. We even have an off-topic chat area for non-weather related topics.New for 2012: Android friendly pages for Client Services members As we work to launch our new iPhone app, we do not want to ignore the Android and other Smartphone users among our member base.
