Camera Update!

Just a note on camera operations.   In the lower left hand corner of the display is a number that is constantly changing. This is the kbs stream flow and is an indication of the amount of data that the camera is streaming. The amount of data is very dependent on the scene. Generally, if this number is below 500, you can expect a fairly good video.  If this number is over 500, you can expect some choppiness and stalls on the video.

The upload capacity of the Visitor Center cameras is between 2000 and 3000kbs for both cameras, so it tends to get backed up when there is a lot of wave, people and boats in the scene.

Eventually advances in technology will improve this situation, but for now, I'm doing the best I can.

Thanks

Foggy Arrival - Lee A Tregurtha arrived Duluth 05/15/2015

Dense fog greeted the Lee A Tregurtha as it carefully entered the Duluth Shipping Canal. Watch the seagull at the end of the video!

Grounded!

Hay you, so when is this fog going to lift? I heard there is popcorn over in in Canal Park.

Harbor Cam - Eye in the sky!

Just finished the final checkouts on my newest photocopter.   These camera systems are remarkable.  Hoping to get it in the air once the weather clears by Saturday!
