📌 ARCHIVAL NOTICE: This node operates on a fully autonomous 12-hour cycle to permanently archive continuous visual data as Video-On-Demand (VOD). This ensures that researchers, scientists, local government units (LGUs), Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) teams, and the community always have uninterrupted, high-quality historical footage available for review and research following any significant volcanic activity.
🌋 TOPOGRAPHIC TARGET ZONES
• Mi-isi Gully (South): Primary active channel within our optical FOV. High probability zone for routing lava effusion and incandescent rockfalls.
• Bonga Gully (Southeast): Secondary active channel. Frequently tracks pyroclastic and rockfall events visible from the Daraga viewpoint.
• Basud Gully (East): Eastern drainage perimeter. Continuously monitored for flank activity and structural overflow.
Welcome to MayonStream Lab
This is a continuous, real-time autonomous visual monitoring node targeting Mayon Volcano in Albay, Philippines.
What started in 2023 as a bootstrapped hardware experiment has evolved through endless trials and volcanic events into a resilient, 24/7 monitoring station. We are constantly pushing code and upgrading hardware to build a better disaster-monitoring tool for the community.
DEPLOYMENT ARCHITECTURE & ROADMAP
[ONLINE] IMX-V1cam: Mid-range view utilizing a custom-coded Raspberry Pi pipeline.
[ONLINE] IP Camera: Full FOV equipped with an Auto-IR hardware filter for night vision.
[ONLINE] ircut-v2cam Summit: Crater close-up utilizing an auto IR-Cut sensor and telephoto machine vision optics.
DATA PIPELINES
Upper-Air Meteorological Data
Our pipeline uses raw PAGASA Legazpi balloon soundings to calculate precise wind vectors and ambient air temperatures at the 2462m altitude level.
⚠️ *Note:* This data reflects the surrounding atmospheric conditions at summit elevation, completely separate from the active crater's thermal heat.
GNSS/GPS Hardware Syncing
Network Time Protocol (NTP) lag is unacceptable for volcanic observation. This station is hardwired to a local USB GNSS receiver, locking our video timestamps to the atomic clocks of the GPS satellite constellation. This allows geologists to perfectly correlate our visual data (degassing, crater glow) with their own seismic instruments.
THE HARDWARE & SOFTWARE STACK
It is a custom edge-computing project engineered specifically for this node.
Capture Node: Raspberry Pi 4
Sensor: IR-Cut Sony back‑illuminated CMOS sensor
Optics: IR-corrected telephoto Lens.
SYSTEM STATUS & KNOWN ISSUES
Bitrate: Streaming at a highly optimized 14 Mbps. We recommend locking your YouTube player to 1440p (2K) to experience the full optical clarity and prevent YouTube compression artifacts.
Visibility: * White/Grey: Heavy rain or cloud cover (Stream is not frozen).
Black: Nighttime with no active crater glow. Check the telemetry clock overlay for stream health.
Hazy: Thermal distortion or suspended volcanic ash softening the focal plane.
DATA AGGREGATION & SOURCING DISCLAIMER
The telemetry overlays, weather sounding data, and volcanic alert statuses displayed on this broadcast are autonomously scraped and aggregated from publicly available government endpoints and public domain releases.
Volcanic Activity & Alert Levels: Sourced from DOST-PHIVOLCS.
Meteorological & Radiosonde Data: Sourced from DOST-PAGASA (Legazpi Station).
Disaster Advisories: Sourced from NDRRMC.
System Note: MayonStream Lab operates strictly as an independent data aggregator. We do not generate this telemetry, nor are we affiliated with, endorsed by, or employed by any of these government agencies. This monitoring node merely collects their publicly available data and syncs it with our independent visual feed to provide a unified dashboard for situational awareness.
OPEN DATA LICENSE (Non-Commercial)
This node is an independent, self-funded DIY hobby project driven by a passion for electronics and IT. The live stream, footage, and telemetry data are free to use for public safety, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), education, and scientific research.
(Strictly NO commercial use, unauthorized restreaming for profit, or monetization of this footage without permission).
