All NEW WEBCAM
The hardware, network connections and software for the webcam have all been replaced and updated. We have had a couple of problems since, but these were not at the camera end. One was a power cut and the other was an attack on the servers in London that host the images. There are now 2 cameras running on separate hardware, so here's hoping you can always get an least one live image.
As usual, all constructive comments welcome as emails to waves@tynemouth.org.uk
For those who want to know a bit more, the previous setup was an 8 year old machine with 256Mb RAM running the original release of Windows XP (no upgrades) and using an unbranded wireless network card. The current setup is a brand new machine with 3Gb RAM, latest Windows 7 and a shiny new Belkin N wireless card and router.The software has also been changed to the very neat Yawcam
