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.
