All cameras are operating, but, expect some intermittent operation today.

Important Notice: The camera streaming company is moving the cameras to a new and "eventually" better streaming platform.  During this period (about a week) you can expect slow, intermittent, and sometimes unstable operation.

I am working with the streaming company during this time and once complete, the system should be better then ever.   Thanks for you patience and understanding during this process.

--------------------------
The cameras at the Maritime Visitor Center have been having quit a bit of pausing and stuttering this year.  I need the get this fixes, and have tried everything I know that might be causing the issue.

The next step is to hire someone to come in a look at the network and see what can be done to increase the speed so the streaming is not interrupted.

Our goal is to raise $500 in order to find out what can be done to improve performance.

Thanks for your help and patience on this issue.

Cameras Down!

Reply from camera streaming service in regards to our camera outage this morning:

sorry about the issue, it was our fault, we were adding a few more servers to your region (as a follow up to a yesterday's attack on our servers) and a configuration problem caused some of the cameras to become offline. We have only discovered it after the first ticket arrived. Please accept our apologies for this, all cameras should be online now, but if you are still having some issues, please let me know.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,


10:30 - Update -- All cameras restored -- problem with streaming service has been resolved. I apologize for the interruption.

06:00 - There appears to be a problem with the internet streaming service based out of Europe-- I am checking into it!

Harborcam Upgrade in progress

Our new "Streaming" Harborcam installed. --- While I have some tweaking left to do on the new harborcam, it is up and running.

Comment:  Many thanks to those of you who donated to fund this camera. It is hard to believe that from December 3rd to today, the 12th, we raised the $1500, order the camera, and have it installed.  WOW - All I can say is thank you so much.

About the new camera view.  While the view seems a bit distant, I tried to include as much of the harbor as possible, so that the combination of the Bayfront Cam and the Harbor Cam will just about give us full coverage.

I will continue to adjust all six cameras that we have now and hope that you enjoy the different  viewing options.
