Beach Cam

Hi Daniel H I know you had trouble with the beach cam from the storms this past month and finally got it replaced. The new camera seems a little blurring and hard to see. Is there some way you could re-focus. Thanks.. | -------------------Re: Beach Cam

Not a new cam but some new stuff. It was working great yesterday, but then last evening I changed the CAT5 cable from a short cheap indoor one to a long good outdoor one. I bought a tool to cut the long cable down to the correct length. I decided to try it first on the cheap cable and found it to be an almost impossible task. The long cable is too long, the computer can't power the cam and it keeps dropping the connection, so I have to either learn how to use the tool or get another cheap cable and go back to what was working. Little by little. | -------------------Re: New camera?

Learned how to use the tool and shortened the cable. seems to be working ok now, time will tell. https://www.lamanzanilla.info/web_cam.html If you don't like the white board / bird bath left click on the cam and zoom in a little, you can move the screen around with your mouse. You can get rid of all that crap on the screen by clicking tghe gear and turning them off. They just made that change recently and I don't like it, it would be better if you had to turn them on. Next thing to do is to find it a new home. Its on a ladder now and its old home the Tequila bottles aren't coming back to the beach. | -------------------Re: New camera?

Your welcome Mike. I'm glad you enjoy it. Only thing left to do is to find it a home, which will probably be very close to where it is now. First because I kinda like that view with the bird bath and second the USB wire is not any longer | -------------------Re: Beach Cam
