You will have to accept an activex component from the camera and then select Single to drive it around |

However, I'd get that ladder put away if I was you, and your grass needs cutting. |

Hmm - not working for me, but as no-one else seems to have had any difficulties that looks like the problem must be my end rather than yours. It didn't ask me to accept anything from the camera. |

After that first connection it will be much quicker |

The pan buttons seem to have disappeared but you can still move it with the mouse.
Theres a bit of reflection of the house since you put the window on, this might be cured with the rain hood though.
Other than that.....Top Effort |

I tried it earlier and got nowhere.. have just tried it and although I couldnt see anything other than an occasional blob it was clear that the camera was panning etc according to my instructions.
I forget Kev. Are those bays on the east or west of the island. I used to live at RAF Valley.

It works okay for me, but it would be better if it was not dark outside
Is this cam in a different location to the last one I tried (from a previous thread)? I thought you lived in Gloucestershire?
