Yesterday saw the return of our favorite cam, which we have dubbed SkyCam. The camera is once again in its rightful place atop the roof of the BB&T building downtown. If you look up at the southeast corner of the roof, you will see it hanging over the corner doing its thing. The install is currently about halfway done. We’ve got the camera hardware installed and configured, but the back-end infrastructure that allows us to stream it to you is not in place yet.
However, we do have a limited view that can’t handle a whole lot of concurrent connections. This is using the built-in server on the camera, but unfortunately it isn’t up to the task of serving out live streams to a large number of users. It also requires Quicktime, so if you have it installed, you can head over to the SkyCam page and see if you can grab the feed. No promises for now, though. We’re still working on getting the feed to you in a reliable manner. While you’re there, you can check out a gallery of pics I took of the install as well as some great shots of the downtown area I got while I was up there.
