I've taken over the streaming of the North cam at Harrison Mills to see if it will work any better from my computer than it has been from Ken's. We don't really expect that it will, but maybe....

I am still streaming French Creek on my desktop computer so have Harrison Mills on my laptop - and so far that seems to be working, though the wireless connection from the laptop is somewhat slower than what I have on my desktop.

Tech note: "taking over the streaming" means that I've set up a connection similar to what the zoomers use between my computer and the cam, and use software on my computer to convert the feed from the cam to the format YouTube uses and then send it to YouTube so everyone can see it. I could also log into the zoomer link and control the cam - but that would take additional resources, so I'm not likely to do that. :)

I may still occasionally do some zooming at Surrey Reserve, and can log quickly into the other cams to make sure they are working - but will try to avoid doing things that use lots of bandwidth, at least until I know how my system is handling this.

Thank You so much Judy :grhug:

Ken is at Harrison Mills now. He says there's moisture in some of the connector boxes which is probably part of the reason we've been having issues.

They will be working on the North cam first - it's streaming now (I just restarted the stream) but may go on and off as they replace some of the parts.

He said he'd try to let me know when they get ready to start working on the South cam. I have several older laptops floating around - I may see if I can set one of them up to stream the South cam in case he gets it up and running.

You're welcome - and I'm afraid the news about the South cam is not so good. Here's what I just posted on the HM thread:

1:20 pm
I'm afraid the news about the South cam is not good. The connection box for it was dry so water wasn't the problem, and Ken replaced or temporarily bypassed pretty much all of the components, and replaced the ends on the cables, and everything he and the person he was working with could think to try (the other person was also an IT professional) - and his professional opinion is that the cam is toast. :(

He's sorry and I'm sorry.

I thanked him for trying.

3:31 pm from Delta, the east embedded cam has gone offline. Message is: This video is unavailable. Now as I am typing, the west embedded cam is going offline with the spinning circle. Then went to video unavailable.

Ken's doing updates - cams will be back in about 20 minutes.

He did try to call my in advance and sent a text message, but I only just saw that he'd called and got back to him.

I'm going to reboot the cam and the laptop I'm using to stream it - everything should be back in a couple of minutes.

Thank you Judy!

The laptop is installing updates - may take a little longer than I'd expected, but useful to get them installed.

Good night. :offtobed:
