murraysovereign Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 It's located on the northwest corner of the Squamish Terminals building, so it can't view the Chief, but you can pan and zoom over a pretty good range from the Smoke Bluffs, past Garibaldi, to the Windsurfing Spit, in real-time. If someone else is already using it, you'll have to wait your turn (watch the timer count down to zero), but click on the "take control" button while you're waiting, and it secures your place in line. There are presets already programmed in for Diamond Head and the Smoke Bluffs (see the little drop-down list below the picture), or just shoot it straight down the Sound to see what sort of weather is approaching. Apparently windsurfers and kiteboarders have lots of spare cash just lying around in piles, and they're always looking for new ways to spend it.

murraysovereign Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 i just get a black screen Well, yeah... that's the thing about "live" cameras - they work best when it's light out. Try again in the morning, say around sunrise or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelle Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Murray - I thought this was going to be about some new webcam you installed on the roof of your store or that had been mounted on the deck of the Brewery. When is that going to happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Either it is foggy today or the telephoto lens is crappy, or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
