Title: Web Cams
Post by: KWC on December 05, 2014, 13:10:07 PM
I like taking a peep through this web cam in particular to see who busy and what the true weather looks like.
Especially when sitting here looking out of the office window and the cold outside.

This is the one I use in El Cotillo. There is usually washing on the line opposite so I can even see what the wind is like.

The Rene-Egli one isn't working for me, but the El Cotillo one is good.

Woe it works every time for me, but hasten to add it takes a minute to open up.

The other doesn't open for me though  ???

The René Egli seems fine for me in both Chrome and Firefox. I think they're using a java plug in (cambozola), which may be the issue.

Talking of webcams, anyone know if Azurro is having works done? Just before it went offline there was a JCB in the shot....  See it is back :-)

Strange, I cannot get rene-egli to work with firefox or chrome. I must be missing a plugin or something

Do you get a 'Application Blocked by Security Settings'?

It is most likely due to Java running (rightly) with High security set. You can either change this to medium (not recommended) or add a site exception... or just skip this webcam!

I more or less use this cam most days just to make sure that our next years holiday destination is still there.....

They both work fine on Safari. Incidentally, Safari now do a bolt-on called 'adblock' which works just great. Download it, pay a piffling amount and, bingo, no more ads for those who loathe consumerism.
