Well, we finally got the bugs worked out on our webcam (hopefully)! It can be seen at www.beaverislandrealty.com We do intend to have it pointed in different directions when and where possible. Big thank you's to Ken Slough, Rick Bucholtz and Jeff Cashman amongst others for their assistance!

It was working perfectly this morning but now I just get a broken icon and no picture on any computer I've tried.

Checking into it now, maybe its cold!!!

I figured it out....I can aim the camera up and down the street or zoom it in and out. If I do that the shot that you see which is specific and placed by the webmaster on the site gets "corrupted" and goes away. I have to reset the router to get it back on track. Have to figure out a way to correct it so we can point it toward parades and things like that. However we have to be careful, I received a phone call on New Years day from Roland Cull wondering why my vehicle was parked across from the Shamrock, so...............

I see we have a new view!

Post by **Gillespie** » Tue Jan 13, 2009 7:24 pm

We worked with the camera software today and got it to "scan", have had several phone calls that the picture is blurred but that is because the website snaps a picture every 5 seconds, so, if the camera is on the move the picture might be blurred for that bit of time. We are working on a freeze frame situation which will keep the picture in focus while the camera is moving. Hope you all enjoy the view, its 3.5 degrees here so you Florida snowbirds keep your "bills" to yourselves!!

Love the new views! It's especially nice this time of year when there isn't anything going on at the boat dock. Thanks, Richie!

The bar has been raised. This is a GREAT improvement over the static views. A HUGE thanks from all of us who need that island fix.

We cleared up the blur problem which now sends it from one point to the other without the out of focus thing happening. Now all I have to worry about is the dang thing freezing up and stripping the gears, it is rated to 0 degrees and it was 1.4 outside my window this morning!
