Webcam Moved Outside

Well it's taken a while but I finally relocated the wx webcam to a spot on the post that supports my Davis Weather Station.

There's still work to do in setting up all of the presets but you can try many of the features at Belcak Weather Station or go directly to IPcamera .

As usual, I'm open to comments or suggestions.

Thanks

Webcam PTZ Working

I updated the webcam page on the site....now you can control the camera with pan, tilt and zoom.

New Webcam

This week I upgraded the web cam to a new Panasonic BB-HCM735A IP Network Camera. The camera has PTZ and zoom capability. Shortly I hope to be able to add that feature to the web page and let the viewer control the camera. The camera looks to the southeast onto Swan Creek and in the morning it works hard to deal with the sun and reflection off the water.

This time of year we have lots of geese who make Swan Creek there home. Enjoy the view and let me know how it works for you!

Web Cam Problems

Well I'm sorry to say that my webcam has failed again.....it looks like this time I'll need to get a new one rather than trying to keep making this one work.

Not sure when a new one will be back up and running.

Watch the Blog for any updates.

Thanks

Tide info added to cell phone page

Had a good suggestion to add tide info to the Cell Phone page - take a look at the data page wap.belcak.com and right after the Solar info I have inserted the daily tide info for Swan Creek, Rock Hall, MD
Hope you find it useful.

Crab Traps

4 more for the pot today.....

Crab Traps

Later than usual, but today I put out 2 carb traps off the dock. Hopefully we'll get our share for the season......I'll let you know how we make out!

Live Webcam turned on!

Today I started to serve a live feed from a JVC TK-C700U color camera. The view is south across my backyard and onto the upper part of Swan Creek in Rock Hall, MD.

The camera is an old video surveillance model that feeds to an ATI Radeon 7500 video card. The capture software is Image Salsa .

The camera is operational from +/- 60 minutes of sunrise and sunset and it's presented on my web page using Adobe Flash.

The feed has a 5 minute timeout to save on bandwidth and requires a page refresh if you wish to view it longer.
