About The Blue Ridge Webcam

The webcam typically rotates to preset positions on a timed, sequenced, schedule. The still-image cam uploads a new video grab every 10 seconds. Javascript must be enabled on your browser for the still image to refresh automatically every 10 seconds.

This cam is equipped with internal nightvision capabilities. However, unlike the lake cam, external IR lamps are not required thanks to dusk-to-dawn lighting.

The video cam streams motion jpeg images. The streams are meant for high-speed connections. To conserve bandwidth, the stream usually only plays for 15-20 minutes, then you'll have to refresh the page to restart the video stream.

Can't See The Video Stream?

The best browser to use for the live video is Firefox; the video should play in Firefox without any modifications:

In Internet Explorer, if you cannot view the video stream, you're most likely lacking an ActiveX component that needs to be installed. There should be a light yellow bar at the top of this page:

http://www.blueridgewebcam.com/video/

It should say something like, "This site might require the following ActiveX control 'Axis Media Control' from 'Axis Communications AB' Click here to install...".

Click on the light yellow bar, then choose "Install ActiveX Control...", then click the "Install" button when you get a pop-up window and you should be good to go for IE.

Javascript must be enabled to view the video streams.

Currently, the stream does not work in the Opera browser.
