I stopped into Trask’s today and investigated what’s up with the Milo Webcam.  Turns out the ethernet cable that runs up the building to the camera got hit by something, and one of the wires broke.  We either need to replace the entire cable (not fun), or find a way to splice an ethernet cable properly on the outside of a building.

Anyone got suggestions or want to help??

The new webcam is all ready to go. After all the fiascos with getting it together it works fine.

As soon as we get a nice day of weather, I’ll get it all installed and running. Cross your fingers for sun!

I guess it was supposed to have the stuff I’m missing in the box. They’re gonna send me another one that’ll be opened and inspected, and have me ship this one back. Blah….

Sometime next week I’ll be installing the new Schoodic Lake Webcam.  I’ve got the camera, just waiting on the outdoor housing to get here.  This new camera is an Axis 211W, our first wireless webcam!

It will be on the south shore of Schoodic Lake, in Lake View Plantation, with a gorgeous view of the lake and Mt. Katahdin.  As with all the other TRC webcams, it will update every 5 seconds and archive every five minutes.

Should be an interesting install….  We’re putting the camera on a boathouse, and it will be right up over open water.  Just pray that we don’t drop the thing in the lake while we’re setting it up…  far too expensive for that.
