About ScooterCam
ScooterCam is a live weather and camera project on the Lake Michigan shoreline, covering the South Haven to Saugatuck stretch of coast in Allegan County, Michigan. It streams live shoreline images, publishes sunset timelapses, and provides hyperlocal weather and marine conditions — all built and run independently, not through a big corporate weather service.
The project is operated as ScooterCam Worldwide LLC, a small Michigan company, and it exists because the person who built it loves this stretch of shoreline and wanted a better, more local way to watch its weather and sunsets than anything available off the shelf.
