Camera Cold Weather Operation

FYI,

With arctic temperatures moving in by the weekend, the cameras may experience occasional cold weather shutdowns to protect their electronics, intermittent operation, and frosted lenses.

While I expect these mainly to be in the overnight hours, with a high of -5F by Christmas day, there may be other issues.

I plan on running the cams straight through the offseason the best I can.

That said, some of the most beautiful scenes of the year will occur when the temperatures are below zero, so, hope for the best.

Troubleshooting camera operations!

12/15/2017 -- UPDATE on troubleshooting cams.   A viewer has reported that using the PUFFIN Browser has fixed his issues with the cams.  I downloaded and tried it and find it a very fast and efficient browser to use, in fact, I may make it my main browser.  So, if your having issues viewing the cameras streams, this may be a good answer. They have versions for mobile devices and Windows.


With companies like Google and Microsoft trying to tighten up browser hacking, some cameras may get caught in their filters. 

I will post on the front page if any cams are not operating, otherwise, assume they are and the trouble is on your device.  This is not unusual as things get updated and buffers get stuck.

Try some of the troubleshooting suggestions on this page, hopefully, something will work.

Many of the boats are now taking the northern route accross Lake Superior to stay protected from the winter winds!

The Aftermath!

The fierce storm today showed the raw power of the Lake Superior. Waves up to 18ft ripped parts of the Lakewalk apart, leaving boulders and gravel in place of the walkway.
I stopped down this afternoon to take look at the rollers still coming ashore.
Here is a gallery link to more photos.

Camera Fundraiser!

The purpose of the current camera fundraiser is to pay for the 2018 internet access and streaming service.

We currently have 9 cameras that cost 360/year to stream, plus internet service to the hillside location where there are currently five cameras accessing the web at a cost of $1080/yr.

So, having the internet services paid for 2018 (total $4320) will cover a significant part of our 2018 operating budget.  Additional camera projects and upgrades may require another fundraiser when the time comes.

Thank you so much for your support in this effort, visitors to this site are very generous, and every cent donated goes into operation and maintenance of our cameras.

Happy Boat Watching!
