Web Cam
I am
currently testing a new camera. Expect it to go wrong!
Pictured on the left
is the new camera, with the old one just below it. They are mounted next to the
grills on my front balcony, located low enough so that they can't see the road.
It takes a picture on every minute that ends in a '2' and displays it here
fourteen minutes later.
The temperature probe is very accurate, but rather
exposed so it does jump around a bit and will be in direct sunlight in the
evening.
In case you don't know, the work in the foreground is the new
and long promised sports complex, under
construction.

The camera is looking out from Playa Paraiso over the Mar
Menor.In the foreground, you can see the corner of the Salinas de Marchamalo and the path from Playa Paraiso to the beach. If you are lucky you will spot some flamingos, or even a twitcher.
Beyond the salinas, the bank that you can see hides the wide beach.
Beyond that is the Mar Menor and the Isla Del Ciervo.
Thanks to the less than 100% reliability of the Telefonica ADSL connection, the camera will occasionally freeze. It is reset automatically every morning at 1 am. The problem is that once there has been a failure, the video server freezes.
