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, 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

Thanks John

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

[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

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.

OK I had a go, that is way cool. Need one at every airport!

That's awesome! Thanks for that.

Any chance of getting the ATIS audio streaming through the internet as well?

Well done John - works a treat

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.

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 .......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

[GK430]

Is that Dornier 328 "Rescue" based at Essendon?
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
