Web Cam Down
 

The web cam has been down since yesterday afternoon.:(

That's right, thanks for reporting.

You know how it works with computer stuff - every once in a while, you have to reboot it.

Well, that can be a challenge when you don't have physical access to the device to actually do it.

Hang in in there, we're working on it.

Stay tuned, I'll post when we get it back up.

I have a couple of large hammers you can borrow to fix the camera if you would like to borrow them Adi!:viking:

So it wasn't a conspiracy against me. I feel so much better now.

Stopped by the shores launch a bit after 2:00 PM.

It was gloomy, but there was not a dash of wind, hardly any swell. The water was flat like a glass.

I spent some time trolling for LJSH IT guys and finally tracked them down...

They let me in the reboot the damn thing – it came right back up.

There's your report from me... :)

How long will the concrete barrier last? The cones are gone.lol

I passed the cones on my way in this morning...

I can snap pictures, but don't get the streaming video.

Is there a way to find, and download Active X for the video?

I'm using a Mac w/ Safari os.
-----------------
BTW my Mac laptop didn't have this trouble, it worked fine from the beginning.

I am really not sure about Macs, not my ball game. From what I gather, ActiveX and Mac is no go...

But then I think some Mac folks responded and said they can see the video? I hope some of the Mac gang chips in.

I have a mac and have always been able to see the vid. I never even installed Active-X:stupid:

Thats the way it has been for my MacBookPro Laptop. The video played straight away, without installing any software.

Its my I-Mac desk top thats giving me the problem. I set the preferences to the same as the laptop, but I still can't view the web-cam from it yet.

Still trying :)

I just bought a new computer that has vista on it and am unable to get the cam to work. Like another user earlier in this thread I can snap a pic but can't see the video. I tried lowering my security settings and telling the system this is a trusted site. The message I get is:

"Axis Media Control
The AXIS Media Control, which enables you to view live image streams in Microsoft Internet Explorer, could not be registered on your computer."

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

exact same senario...
new computer...same message...
snap shot works....but...
I'm getting the same message on my new computer...

"Axis Media Control
The AXIS Media Control, which enables you to view live image streams in Microsoft Internet Explorer, could not be registered on your computer."

help...

Same problem , Just got vista and it didnt work , I downloaded firefox and Now Im able to see it :)

Same problem same message. Got vista and couldn't get it to work.

I haven't seen the webcam for months now.

Is going firefox the only way? Did the Vista issue ever get solved?

There are no compatibility issues with Axis driver (webcam) and Vista... There are issues when it comes to getting anything work on Vista, if certain Vista security features are in place.

Try this - http://www.axis.com/techsup/faq/inde...324&artlang=en

Adding www.bigwatersedge.com as a trusted site in your browser settings ought to do it. If it doesn't work, try adding 66.160.198.117, BWE's current IP.

Make sure your security software is not in a way - that's the most common reason for troubles.

For what it's worth, I can view the streaming video just fine....but I'm not running Vista....

Got Vista, got IE, no el streamo...

Got Vista, got Firefox, no problemo...

:D

I've got IE and Vista Ultimate on my laptop and it works fine. For those folks having issues are you running 32 or 64 bit vista? You can check by going to the SYSTEM icon in the control panel, or right clicking on COMPUTER and select PROPERTIES. Mine is 32 bit, but I know that many new computers from Dell and Sony preload the 64 bit version and there can be issues with a few programs and drivers.

32 bit operating system.

Added http address, didn't help
Added IP address, didn't help
Lowered security level, didn't help

The web page prompts download as normal. Install go as normal until error message come up as:

Axis Media Control
The AXIS Media Control, which enables you to view live image streams in Microsoft Internet Explorer, could not be registered on your computer.

I don't mind getting firefox to watch the cam, but it seems like there has got to be a way to fix it.... Vista/IE is only getting more prevalent, more and more new systems sold now can't run properly on XP and some hardwares don't even have drivers for XP. (Not that I am a fan of Vista by a long shot).
