September 2010: After extensive troubleshooting, and just in time to keep an eye on Hurricane Earl, the MBA webcam is back online after a 3 day complete absense, and 3 months of spotty streaming service.

March 2010: MBA's brand new webcam has been mounted oceanfront in Middlesex Beach, and is available for viewing. Community Members, click here for additional info

After over 3 years of service, the privately owned one that was formerly mounted oceanfront has been moved northwest a hundred feet or so. The new one is the same model of camera (Panasonic HCM-371A, for those who care).

Viewers are again able to view AND CONTROL the new camera several via several different methods:
STILL PHOTOS: The most recent still photos can still be viewed here
  • When the camera detects motion, it snaps a photo; those are available starting here. Note that if it's raining, water running down the camera's enclosure can trigger a motion detection.
  • Recent (the last day or so) still photos are available starting here; these are numbered 1-9 in the links at the top of most live pages.
  • Archived "keeper" photos can be viewed starting here; these are numbered 88-100 in the links at the top of most live pages

    STREAMING VIDEO:
  • You can also view streaming video and control the camera via a few different pages, but no matter what you MUST first access the camera via http://live.middlesexbeach.org. This will allow your browser to download some necessary Active X software. You may see only a grey screen until you are prompted to do the download. (Sometimes you must refresh the page to get this to work right).
  • When you drive the camera, please don't aim it at the sun for too long. After 30 minutes of inactivity, the camera does return to its default position (which I do vary according to the season and where I think the sun will show up).
  • Community Members can receive special access, allowing you to see an improved refresh rate from the camera, and a slightly clearer picture. Click HERE for info.
