Webcam Archive Update

I believe I have fixed the problem with old images showing up in the 5-minute animations at the CCM webcam archive/mirror. While I had previously split the 5-minute download script into two different parts, it still wasn't enough to run in less than 1 minute and therefore misnamed images outside of the 5s and 0s. This time I expressedly put each Perl LWP download request in the background so that the scripts could complete, even if the image download stalled. Time will tell.

Webcam Archive Updated: New Cameras Added

I have added several webcams to the CCM webcam archive/mirror this week. The most noteable were the Brasstown Mountain, Georgia webcams (highest point in the state) and the (near-U.S.) Buoycams from NDBC, that have no easy online access to past images. Because of the expense of transmitting images via satellite, they are only updated once per hour.

Webcam Archive Update: Old 5-Minute Images

After adding several dozen new cams to the CCM webcam archive/mirror this week, I have found that the 5-minute archive process now takes more than 5 minutes, and files are therefore named with times other than "on the 5s or 0s." This causes the Archive Player to show images from days prior. I am going to separate it into two scripts and see if that helps. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Webcam Archive: Dozens of New Cams Added

In the biggest update since the page began, I have added almost dozens of new webcams to the CCM webcam archive/mirror. It has now been updated to include the following new cameras, including local Instacams, NC mountain & beach cams, National Park Service cams, BuoyCams, and more.
