A Better Live Cam on The Village Dock Posted Monday, March 08, 2010 at 9:57:24 PM     Alexandria Bay, NY 1000 Islands  Comments  Unique Views 2892/Total Views 3010

You know, I keep getting email after email asking me to improve the quality of the live cam on the village dock. Mainly, because people want to watch the progress on rebuilding it.

Anyway, today to my surprise I was able to double the resolution via some firmware modifications, but it still isn't that great of a view.

See link below for the new resolution.

So, for all you folks that want a better Live Dock Cam.. I'll tell ya what.. Donate the money to do it and I'll get on it.. This stuff is expensive and right now the live cams project is barely breaking even. I can't spend the 500 bucks or so I need to buy better camera hardware for that location.

So, if you want to make it happen go to http://www.1000islandslive.com/paypal_donate.asp and click on the donate button. If enough cash comes in I'll order a bad-ass camera that can zoom in like nobody's business and get it running ASAP.

Otherwise, it is what it is.

SO FAR $290.00 has been donated... we are more than half way there..


Ohh, one more thing.. I can't shoot from Cavs Pizza because they turn off internet and power for the winter.. that's why the top of the bay cam goes offline this time of year. I have to shoot from the Skiffs building unless a better location becomes available with the things I need to get a cam online.
