Jericho Webcam

The Jericho Webcam is stuck on winter hours and has ended at 16:50 daily for a long time. Any chance of getting the site admin to reset the site.

Thanks, but as we are gaining 4 minutes of daylight each day could the site be reset again or even left up all night to view the ships?

At night the webcam image is just a few pinpoints of light on a black background. So we stop the camera operation before nightfall and the last daylight image remains up.
The camera operation time is only controlled to the nearest hour. I adjust this on/off time several times a year as the days get longer and shorter.

Hi All,

The Jericho cam went down on Saturday and is now 1970-01-01. I liked having it up 24/7 as the snow brightens the image and I correlate ship movements with the Westvan camera.

All the best,

Roy

We had a power outage in the neighbourhood on Saturday and then the camera reverts to a date of 1970 when power comes back on and it restarts.
It is corrected now.

Hi there
As a displaced Vancouverite now living in the USA, I have enjoyed the Jericho beach webcam for many years.
However, I use a third party cam viewer to look at the picture on my iphone and that program needs a jpg to view the picture.
In the past the following link served that purpose:
http://www.kiteboardbc.com/webcam/jericho/jwebcam.jpg
It has worked for a long time, but now that link has stopped working (403 forbidden error).
I was wondering if that could be turned back on?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris
In recent months the entire kiteboardbc website has been getting painfully slow ..sometimes taking over 20 seconds to load. We traced the problem to some cam viewing websites that continuosly fetched images of our webcams and tied up all our bandwidth. We have recently disabled hotlinking of images from kiteboardbc and this has solved the problem. I notice that some cam websites still have no problem, only those that hotlinked do.

You can simply click on this link to see the webcam

Ok thanks - appreciate the explanation. Rest assured it wasn't me overly saturating your network! I will enjoy the photo from the website. Thanks for keeping it up for all these years. Chris
