Essendon Airport web cam

[John Eacott]

We've a new web cam showing the ramp outside our office at Essendon Airport, and able to be controlled remotely. Click here, (http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/) and in the menu at the bottom of the page, select "Camera".

No view to the South West (hangar in the way!), but otherwise fairly useful for real weather views :ok:

Great fun to play with, but, 30 seconds is just not enough!!!

BSB

[John Eacott]

BSB,

30 seconds should only be when others are queued to use the control: otherwise it will stay with you as long as you need :cool:

There are also three pre-sets available: RW27, RW17 thresholds, and the City, which are on the drop down menu at the bottom. Snap to is available by clicking the rectangular box above the camera control, which opens a panoramic view. Click anywhere on the pano to pan the camera.

Well done John - works a treat :ok::ok::ok:

Stay tuned because another airfield close to Melbourne will also have a user controllable webcam! Possibly a couple to choose from! The Internet link has just been upgraded to make it happen.

[Ultralights]

are there webcams like that set up at other Aussie airports? one like that at KSA would get a workout..

[Dogimed]

PAF.

Put the mouse down and go outside and play.

[GABLUES]

Thanks John works a treat

[OZBUSDRIVER]

What an amazing toy. John, you haven't scrimped on the quality of the camera. Leaves other fixed webcams for dead. Excellent!....now if only I can get it to myself, I was enjoying a particularly nice sunset view of the CBD and some bugger stole the controls.

[FOD-Boss]

Thanks John :ok: .......now i`ll never get any work done!
Great quality streaming webcam and a cool assortment of aircraft and goings on to look at. You can even tell when its windy too ;)

Great view at dawn this err no, Monday your time.

John,

Does the camera have an archive? I was tracking a Blackhawk doing touch and goes (if a Helo does that) at around 4pm today. Top camera. Well done.

Cheers
