Why do some of the people operating the camera seem to make it more difficult than it really is!?!? Someone is on right now and is bouncing back and forth between two boats because he can't center it on the girl sleeping on the boat that is in between the two he keeps bouncing back and forth on :mad:
Seriously, it's not that hard!

It's easy, if you're zoomed in you need to move it slowly, baby steps. Rather than using the slider bar, tap the arrows up/down/left/right.
Better yeat, click on the image where you want the camera to go and it will go there. Zoom out, adjust, then zoom in. You've posted some great pics :D thanks for the eye candy....

True. I think with so many people logged on it's VERY slow to react, and my java keeps freezing so I don't get good video.
I'll have to rely on 27 awesome cat to keep posting jems he can pull off throughout the weekend :D

Ok had more time to play with it. Click on the cam to run it, shows a time.In the bottom pic of the lake and bridge area, it shows a blue or yellow box. If it is blue that time tells you how long before it's your turn to opperate it. When it's yellow and the dude above the time is lite up you are in controll. Right click on the yellow box and drag it to the location (in the bottom pic). To zoom in you use the up down arrow thing to the far right and just above the time box. So the bottom pic is where to drag the cam to the area you want to see.

You can also click on the actual live image and it will move the camera to that point. In other words, say for example, you have a "boat" in the picture, but you want the center of the picture to be...oh say...the registration numbers (:devil: ) simply click on the registration numbers and the camera will center on them. Then use the "zoom" buttons (right side of the screen - show an image of 1 tree and 3 trees) to zoom in.
FYI, it's always easier to pan and tilt the camera with the image zoomed out, then zoom in on the target.

I agree. Trying to find a subject after zooming in on it is a biatch. Better to be slow and methodical.

That was close. That blue boat must have been inches away from hitting the parked one.
