(Web cams are best viewed with Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher. AOL Users, please use the Internet Explorer browser to view our Photo Version Web cam images.)
From time to time, our users are unable to see the Live Web cam images on their computers. There are several things that might be causing this.
A. When a user first arrives on a live Web cam page, they will be prompted to either install an ActiveX Component that will enable the photo version web cams or to install Windows Media Player to see the Streaming web cams.. If the user denies either installation, then that user will not be able to view the images.
To install the Axis ActiveX Component, please download and install the following Axis Communications File.
AxisCameraServerControl
Streaming Web cams are now on Windows Media 9 Player. To install Windows Media 9 Player, You can ether down load and install Windows Update for Media 9 Player or go to Windows Media Player and install Media Player 9. For Mac users there is a Windows Media 9 Player at Windows Media Player also Mac users need the most current Stuff It program to open the downloaded file to install it. There is a free trail version here Stuff It
B. Our Web Cam's depends on quite a few "links" beyond our control, such as the Florida Keys Power Grid, our internet connection (Bell South), and the dozens of links and hops between us and you. If there's a hiccup at any one of these links, the Web Cam's may not work.
C. The Web cam images may not work can be caused by the security level set in the users browser. To verify that your security settings will allow the streaming Web cam images, please follow these steps (when using Microsoft Internet Explorer):
From the Tools (IE 4) / View (IE 5) menu, select Internet Options Click the Security tab. Make sure that the security level is set to Medium or Low and click OK
D. Another reason why the Web cam images may not work, is that we do change the web cam pages from time to time. In order for you to get the most current pages, you need to set your browser to not cache any web pages, and also you need to delete your temporary internet files from time to time.
If you have completed these steps and are still unable to see the Live Web Cam images, please complete the following form to report your specific troubles.
