Badgercam back on line
I have replaced the broken PSU and the badgercam is back on line every
evening from around 8.00pm. I still get a drop of signal which seems to be caused by the street lamp outside our house. The telephone lines are also sharing this pole and cause a surge which shuts me down, briefly. -- Dave & Viv are living happily ever after in Pembrokeshire. http://www.daviv.com Videos of badgers and foxes on our patio and bluetits in their nestbox. |

It was certainly showing on the monitor, here. Do you have java installed and enabled? Is there any error message? What do you see where the picture should be? There were two badgers last night and both were right at the feeding bowls which are about 18 inches from the camera. Is anyone else having trouble? Any feedback would be useful. I am switching on at about 8.00 but they are not arriving till around 9.00 for the last couple of days. Once the food has all gone, I switch off as they don't stay around for long with no grub!

I have "scripting by Java applets" enabled, but there was just a blank frame with a cross in the top lefthand corner - no error message. It may be something to do with my firewall settings, so I will investigate, but if someone can suggest anything else that needs changing, it would be very helpful, as I _would_ like to see Dave`s badgers in action.

Same problem here, no picture. I don't have Java runtime environment installed or Microsofts Java Virtual machine installed either so this "maybe" the problem. Java can be downloaded from Sun @ http://www.java.com/en/download/download_the_latest.jsp This may cure your problem. HTH Craven |

Admittedly if I connect and see empty bowls I switch off too, but it would be good to know that the picture is just a stale one and not updated. The time-stamp hasn't been very reliable as an indicator of whether things are working. Mike. -- If reply address = connectfee, add an r because it is free not fee. |

Last night, they were not too keen on the stale Hovis Granary bread and left most of it. It was on around 8.00 pm and I turned it off just before 10.00 pm. Dave. |

If you look now, it says "OFF LINE" ;-) They ate everything before 9.30 and there were 3 together for a short while. Dave |
