New SDHGPA Site & XC Route live Camera Page - Beta release

8/25/2014

3 Comments

 
We just released a new weather page to our website under the "What's Happening" navigation tab. 
SDHGPA Site & XC Route Live Cameras page

This is essentially a new interface to the HPWREN project cameras and others to make them easier to view and know where they are in relationship to our sites.

At the top is an interactive map were, you can scroll through the 360 deg tower images if you like and a link to the camera tower page. View the interactive map on the page, or you can expand the map to full screen. Then scrolling down the page is a round up of the most recent live images. These are grouped to views useful to specific sites. Links to the original Camera pages is also provided to view images full page in higher resolution.  Note that most of the images will be black if viewed at night unless there are city lights in view.

If we find that it is too slow loading due to all the images, we may break it up to smaller site specific pages.

Let us know what you like and dislike about the page so that we can fine tune it to how people use it.

Any way to show which direction the camera was pointed? It would be cool to see a compass bearing or even just N,E,S,W would be helpful.

Good Idea.

However, we have limited control over the images in that they are loaded from the live updates directly. Will need to double check, but most of the images were loaded in to the Map so that they sweep from 1=North, 2=East, 3=South, then 4=West in a Clockwise motion. Mt Woodson sweeps in 8 steps.

However Palomar looks like is not in the N, E, S, W order.

Will add a key the the info section below the images.
