Camera provided by Mark Elsom-Cook at Learning Technology Services Ltd.
The cameras have now been reprogrammed so they automatically reset themselves each night. Unless there is a hardware failure, no camera should be unavailable for more than 24 hours. Please wait that long before reporting a glitch. Each camera runs on completely separate hardware, but they share an Internet connection.
Usage information
The cameras have now been running for 6 years, and have continuously grown in popularity. This has been purely by word of mouth. We recently passed 400,000 hits per month and expect to get to 500,000 quite soon. About 30% of our users are located in the region, and about 30% outside the UK. Over half the access is from browsers on mobile devices.
