Essendon Airport web cam
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".
It will give you 20 seconds control atm, I'm still working on refining it.
Enjoy

Thud,
At home, trying to change the camera to a night setting
It will pan around to the west (the ramp is to the ENE), which is where our weather usually comes from. Except the hangar gets in the way to the south, but since it's Heritage Listed (it was Reg Ansett's first), we can't do much about it

Real time weather
Those poor little pan/tilt/zoom servos.....at least the 3 sliders only allow us to wear 'em out one-at-a-time.
So where is the 'fire' or 'shoot' button? And how long before we have live cam downlinked from the helos themselves?
Nice job Johno, what's it cost for a setup like that? I reckon webcams are brill. Met forecats are one thing but a peek at some live video at your destination or enroute refueling points is hard to beat. I log onto the Scenic world blue mountains webcam west of here & if I can't see the cable car for cloud then I know I ain't gettin' over the ranges today.

R22Clipper:
Above the Start Control & timer, what looks like an elongated rectagular target sight
Click on that, and a panoramic view will allow point and click "snap to" of the camera, when you have control. It allows up to 50 users, so when there is a queue the 30 second limit comes in, to give fair goes all around
I'm setting up some preset camera angles for the thresholds, etc.

I must admit, not seen that anywhere else before! Nevertheless, its a brilliant idea. 
Why can't all operators at airports around the world have a webcam like that?? Mind you, for some it could be seen as a form of "espionage"!
