Camera Upadate

The GLA cam has been replaced and is back up. The new camera is fixed in place and can be moved manually only. However, the camera has better resolution , clarity, color, and sound.

I will be moving it closer to the edge of the GLA building next week to get better sound and to move it away from a noisy ventilation vent. The new location should also have a bit better look at the inner harbor.
It should be a great camera for the sailboat races!

Thank you for your patience while I worked on the camera problem. - Enjoy!

Duluth Harbor Boat Traffic for 5/20/2013

Heavy fog has prevented the cameras from seeing much in the past few days.  Better viewing days ahead.

Lafarge Cam off line

Update--Power restored at 12:30 Saturday -- camera restored to service!

The Lafarge Cam, 4th camera from the left, is off line due to a power outage at the site.  The issue is being worked on, however, a strong Springtime storm will be rolling in and the work may be delayed.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

IPad user Notice !!!

Operational note for Ipad users!

On the IPad you have an option to view the mobile version of the site or the web version.

Some users have reported that they have a different format -- this is the mobile version.  If you scroll to the bottom of the page you will see a link to " View Web Version" - this should open up the standards version with the camera thumbnails.

So, if the format looks different -- go to the "View Web Version" at the bottom of the screen.

Another Camera "Live Stream"

Dear Harbor Cam Friends,
Thank you for all the comments that I have received on the new Live Streaming Camera.  I do listen to suggestions and critiques and try to make adjustments when possible.   I can read between the lines your love for Duluth and the harbor and I appreciate that, since I feel the same way.

Technology has been advancing rapidly and although not perfect, it is now possible to "virtually" stand on a rooftop or hillside and get the feeling that you are truly here.

I have now upgraded a second camera for Live Streaming. This camera, located on top of the Great Lakes Aquarium, is a high resolution view of the Aerial Lift Bridge that also includes sound.  A truly live view, with sound has been a dream of mine for a long time, and is now possible (yet not perfect). While many of us can't live in Duluth, let alone afford some "Hillside" real estate, you can now tune into these new streaming camera for your daily nautical fix.

Although there will always be tweaking and adjusting on these cameras, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.  Also,  make sure to try out the "Full Screen" feature. Click on the second image on the right to access the camera.

Sincerely,
Dennis O'Hara - duluthharborcam.com

New "Live Stream" camera feature

I am trying out a new video streaming service that may provide us a view from the LaFarge Camera that gives us a real-time view with little delay.  The new display can be selected from the "Live Stream" image at the top of column to the right.

Please take a look at the view. I would appreciate any feedback as to whether or not the service would be worthwhile for me to purchase.

If it is something that works for most of us, then I will take a look at adding it to the other cameras in addition to the existing views.

New Camera Installed

I have completed installing the new LaFarge camera.  I still have some adjustments, but, the basics are up and running.

Camera Upgrade

Lafarge Camera Location

FYI, I will be replacing the camera located on top of the LaFarge Silos (fourth camera from left on homepage) this afternoon. Expect an outage of several hours. The new camera is state of the art and should give us an incredible view of the Aerial Lift Bridge and harbor for years to come.

Camera Update

All cameras are now operational

LSMMA - Lake Superior Maritime Maritime Museum - Canal View
Bridgecam - Hillside view of Aerial Lift Bridge area
GLA Cam - View of Aerial Lift Bridge from atop the Great Lakes Aquarium
LaFarge - View from atop old Lafarge Cement Plant - this view will change as camera is rotated
Harborcam - Hillside view of main Harbor

I will be upgrading the Lafarge camera in the near future as weather permits.

Thank you for your patience this week as I did some maintenance and upgrades. Please let  me know if you run across any issues, or, if you have any other comments or suggestions.

Thanks,
Dennis
