Harborcam and Hillsidecam are now streaming from Youtube
Update: 10/30/2019
Harborcam and Hillsidecam are now streaming from Youtube -- You don't have to go to Youtube to find the cams, they are still right here, embedded into the regular duluthharborcam.com pages.
I have moved Harborcam and Hillside to Youtube, my hope is that the videos will stream better and also give you an ability to quickly scroll back on the timeline to view the past hours in case you missed something.
I plan on moving Bayfront soon and than pausing to see how things work out.
It costs $300/camera per year to stream from Angelcam, the cost to stream from Youtube is a one time license purchase of $300/camera for the life of the camera.
As the cameras come up for subscription renewal over the next year, I will decide which platform is best for that location.
As always, I really appreciate all the support from you guys.
