I hate focusing webcams! I finally decided I must be looking at a live image while I focus. Or there must be two people, one focusing and one watching and yelling..
Thanks. Think next time I'll have someone manning the laptop and yelling, beats dropping that off the ladder too.

I'll try that. There is some cleared land and guy anchors below the current view, I didn't think its very interesting. However, a snow stake with graduated colors might be informative. Over the last decade of winters the max snow levels have ranged from 1.5 feet to 5 feet. Hoping for some of those lightening shots hitting Red Hill... or any spot but this one

I got the cam with a extra wide angle lens. It didn't give me the picture that I wanted to see, so I screwed on the standard lens. I believe one was a C and one a CS, and I didn't have that spacer ring. In any event, the time the cam takes to process the image before displaying it makes the whole process rather long. Maybe there is a way to look at a non processed image?
