Our first online webcam is currently accessible for testing. http://www.albufeira.com/webcam" rel="nofollow - http://www.albufeira.com/webcam The camera is fixed and showing part of the «Strip» (Rua da Oura). We're not sure how it's going to behave if we have many visitors at the same time, so you might get an error message or very slow motion. If this works out satisfyingly, we plan on placing other webcams in other locations in Albufeira. Maybe around Fishermen's Beach and Peneco Beach. You know what to do to support this project ;) ------------- Albufeira.com Admin |

You can try to refresh the page after a minute or two to see if you can access it. I just did and manage to view it as simple user after one page refresh. ------------- Albufeira.com Admin |

Whip Woo excellent, well done  . I wasn't even asked for a password either. I am on internet explorer on main computer and when it refreshes the picture goes blank and then reinstates itself. Maybe it will be better on my laptop with firefox & Google Chrome

I'm on Google Chrome but I suspect now, here at work, it's some security setting on our server, I'll get I.T. on the case! In the meantime I'll have a look from home later tonight. ------------- Andrew |

Neither can I.
Loaded Google chrome instead of Internet Explorer but it still didn't work so went back to internet explorer. (At least I can still get the Hollandaise webcam without any problem).

Admin - whatever you do - don't change the location!! The cat is pretty much outta the bag - the place we should be buying next Wednesday is the old Destination Football shop on the left of the pic and the big round sign will soon be saying The Cottage. Brilliant!! -------------

Regarding the webcam, well done to all concerned. I intend to use this regularly. Pete, I'll miss the old version of The Cottage, but the new location will be more convenient for us to use anyway. Good on you and all the team. I hope the deal goes through smoothly this time. |

Yes there is some progress. We should have the location confirmed soon, somewhere showing "Praia do Peneco"...! It's
now a question of choosing and acquiring the equipment and making the installation and some testing. I won't give any date since it's not completely depending on us. You know what to do to support this project ------------- Albufeira.com Admin |
