For the past few days it appears that both the Wolfeboro Bay camera and the Flightcraft Weirs Beach camera are off line. Anybody know what's going on with these?

The Flightcraft camera (https://flightcraft.lakehost.net/index.php/webcam/) is not offline, just the Youtube streaming isn't working. You can still view the live still view and time-lapse.

I've been trying everything to get the streaming running again so far without success. Right now I think the problem is with Youtube. I manage two Youtube cameras (Flightcraft and Anchor Marine) and both of them have gone through periods when they just wouldn't stream to Youtube. Usually at some point they just start working again.

The Wolfeboro camera is the same as mine and sometimes has the same problems, often at the same time as my camera(s). When I see that Wolfeboro is also having trouble I usually just wait for a few days and it starts working again.

Youtube live streaming is a great and free service for us webcam operators. It's not perfect and I do struggle with it occasionally.

Update: The problem is with the camera and a replacement has been ordered. I hope to have it installed early next week.

I just finished installing the new camera. I still have to do some tweaking but it's up and running at 720p:

For stills the camera is also outputting a beautiful 2048 X 1152 image:
