Presque Isle 060618 normal speed
While the previous "timelapse" video of this event was fairly dramatic, this "normal" speed video depicts a much slower event unfold and a slow calculated maneuver.

Presque Isle departed Duluth 06/06/2018 (Timelapse)
The 1000 ft Presque Isle departed Duluth this evening with a slick maneuver to avoid getting too close to the canal wall. Whew!
Also note: this is a timelapse, the actual speed was much slower.

Hillside Cam Replacement/Upgrade Project
Update: 6/4/2018 -- 20:00 SUCCESS! We have met the goal and the new camera is on order.
Thanks so much to generous folks who donated to this and past fundraisers.
I will keep you posted on the progress of this project as it develops.
Kickoff 06/04/2018 - 08:00
The Hillside Cam is nearing its useful life. With this project, we will replace the Hillside cam with a panorama cam that will rotate to pan from downtown to West Duluth.

The panorama cams cost more than the standard but give more options.
My hope is to have this cam installed by the July 4th fireworks.
Thank You!

What is the changing number on the bottom left caption line of the video?
Question: What is the changing number on the bottom left caption line of the video?
This number is the number of video kilobytes per second streaming onto the web from the camera. A good smooth video stream is usually under 1500. With bright sun and small choppy waves, this number greatly increases and tends to bog the camera down. This number is constantly changing with the changing lighting conditions and the scene. That is why you will see this number usually increase as a boat approached and fills the screen.
There are many setting within the camera that I can use to control this number and every one is a compromise of image quality and streaming smoothness. So, my job is to keep playing with the settings to find a compromise that works for that time of day and time of year. Some days will be better than others and often the issue is not with your device.
The second # is the frame rate, this also can be throttled to improve smoothness or quality.
Hope this helps you understand why this venture is like a dog chasing his tail -- never seems to catch it.

Harborcam Replacement/Upgrade
The harborcam is four years old starting to fade at night. I would like to replace it with with a new updated model by July 4th. This will leave us with only two cameras older than 4 years (Bayfront and Hillside) The replacement model for the Harborcam would be able to cover Bayfront and Hillside if needed because it would be able to pan, tilt and zoom.
I hope to start a new Harborcam fundraiser on Monday.
Thanks,
Den
