Almerimar Life WebCam Update
May 8th, 2009 - Chris MarshallI finally got round to sorting out a outside power source and a permanent fixing for the WecCam!
I had hoped to set it in three different positions to try and give more variety to the view, but the option of the roof didn’t work as the WiFi signal wasn’t really strong enough to stream reliably from so high up, and I really didn’t want to add another WiFi booster to the equation. The right hand side of our balcony would have given a great view over towards Guardias Viejas but when it panned to the left it picked up too much of our balcony to be a practical option.
That said where it is now facing out the front of the balcony is about perfect! We can pan round to the nature reserve almost, and pan down to our street!. This last one has already proved very useful as earlier I glanced at the WebCam on my screen and saw Sands returning in the Jeep. I them remembered that when she left she told me to clean the kitchen up ….. saved by the WebCam as by the time she got up to the apartment I had tidied the kitchen and put the kettle on!
With the new position we should be able to leave it out in the wind which will hopefully give some interesting views of the stormy sea, but we will still need to bring it in when it rains. For now though I have programmed in a number of positions that the WebCam can automatically pan round so hopefully you will see a little more than the same old view that it has been showing recently.
I know how many of you enjoy the WebCam so hopefully this will make it an even better feature of the site for you!
