Actually one of the Mount's owners just emailed me a few days ago, to ask that same question. They said they've been thinking of having a live cam but they wanted to know how to make it happen. I told them about Verizon Wireless Internet which runs off the same signal their cell phones do. I learned about it last summer when a friend (a Verizon employee) showed me how he was getting 3 bars on his laptop in the middle of the lake. It's about $60 a month for all us non-Verizon employees.

Once you get the mobile internet connection, the rest of the project is just like setting up a live cam from anywhere else.

They seemed interested so keep your eyes on the Mount to see what comes of it...
