Web cams

[Sirota]

OK. I guess I'll kick-off the annual thread. 23 days and counting. Anyone (Todd) have a projected day for the web cams to go live?

[Tom Steber]

I was gonna start this thread up but you beat me to it!

[Mike Kitslaar]

I know I'm ready. Seems like in the past they were up and running much sooner. It'd be nice to have the year round cams at pioneer back as well.

[krw920]

They are put up as soon as the volunteer crew that puts them up has the time to get on site and do so.

[FlyingRon]

And of course, they're not very interesting until whoever raises the pylons gets them up as well.

[Wrongway Feldman]

In past years the towers usually get raised around the first week of July.
The cameras go online shortly after the towers are raised.

So I would say sometime during the 2nd week of July.

[Sam Oleson]

Hi everyone, we're estimating the web cams will go live in mid-July. We'll have a more precise idea next week.

[FlyingRon]

Actually one of the recent years had the camera live on the pylon while it was still lying on the ground. Like I said, it's not very interesting that way.

[CHICAGORANDY]

Oh Lord...grant me patience..... and I want it NOW!!!!!

[Jeff Point]

Uh, the whole show is going live in mid-July :)

12 more days and counting. Any News on when the web cams will be up and running?

[ssteve1]

I want my webcams and I want 'em NOW!!!

Here is a quick look at the show grounds. July 8 2019 at 3:32 PM
I guess it was Live and at 7:40 into video he says he will be Live again around the same time on July 15 2019.

[Sirota]

I hope this isn't a sign there's a problem that might effect having web cams at all. I've been peeking in for years and if I remember right, they're usually up by now

[Sam Oleson]

Rest assured, we will be having web cams this year. We're simply waiting on our volunteer web cam team to get them in place and up and running. Thanks for your patience!

[dwmmg08]

I’m checking on the webcams too, I’ve been checking several times every day for several days now!

They were up on the 16th in 2018.

[Wrongway Feldman]

These are Live but at the moment, like watching paint dry.

Don't know who the narrator is or what the're driving, but when they, gooched it a little, it sounded pretty good. :thumbsup: BTW, I thought there would be a lot of aircraft there already, oh well. What does Camp Scholler look like at this time ?

[MEdwards]

Wondering about Todd Ritzman, the volunteer who has been so great about keeping us informed about the webcams for several years.

[Sirota]

For years I've enjoyed watching the planes arrive and all the tents and buildings spring up. I really miss it. The rolling tour shows the way finder towers are up so that's no longer a valid excuse. I'm willing to bet the web cams have gone the way of the museum cameras that would be "right back" 4 - 5 years ago.

If so, that will be very sad indeed.

[ssteve1]

Next year when the EAA comes schlepping around for my money to join their organization, I will ask them when the webcams will be up.

[wyoranch]

Disappointed.

[dwmmg08]

I have faith they’ll be up, although I am surprised it’s this late- but as the video posted yesterday shows, there really isn’t much to see yet. I just checked again and they’re still not up. One surprise from the video yesterday was that I think I saw the big homebuilt tower thing they’re normally on up already, so maybe we’ll see something soon?

To all those here lamenting the fact that, with only 5 days left to the start of Oshkosh, the webcams are not being erected or close to operational, doesn't it seem curious to you that no EAA staff member and /or monitor has provided an update on the the issue as promised since July 12. To date, they are silent and gone dark.

In the absence of an updated informed response this close to start date, one might feel reasonable and logical to conclude that the webcams may not be this year. The mind conjures up all kinds of disparate thinking and opinions in the void of any real, truthful information.

[Bill Berson]

Staff update here was July 12.

[ssteve1]

"doesn't it seem curious to you that no EAA staff member and /or monitor has provided an update on the the issue as promised since July 12."
------------------------
There may be one or two EAA staffers that actually listen to this forum (titled EAA Forums), and probably fewer than those two who care or can actually influence change, so, why would "they" speak up.
As my wife says, "It is what it is."
Sad, but, we keep giving them our money.

The cameras are now up and running. The links on Airventure's website don't seem to be correct.

[Sara Nisler]

The website is now updated, we can all breathe a sigh of relief: https://www.eaa.org/airventure/eaa-airventure-news-and-multimedia/eaa-airventure-webcams

[bmckinney]

Thank you EAA staff and volunteers for all that you do! For those of us that attend Airventure regularly, we recognize the massive amount of work and resources that goes into making this event so great! I was out there this past Sunday/Monday in Camp Scholler. I saw a total of 3 planes, all in Vintage (assume they are volunteers). As mentioned several times throughout this thread, nothing too interesting is occurring right now, so putting the webcams task towards the end is completely understandable, plus it reduces the wear/tear on the equipment and other maintenance requirements.

We are headed back out Friday, flying in, and will be volunteering this weekend to hopefully help with plane parking. Safe travels to everyone who will be attending!

[Kyle Boatright]

Drilling down to the webcams through EAA’s website doesn’t work unless you choose the watch through YouTube path. It would be good if the main link took you to something that worked.would be mice

[dwmmg08]

Hooray! Thank you for getting these up and running and fixing the website links, we all appreciate it and all you do!

Seems to work correctly now. Thanks to the folks behind the scenes.

[CHICAGORANDY]

A sincere THANK YOU and kudos to the team of folks who make these annual webcams possible. I'm 70 and continue to marvel at all the digital wonders that we all can have at our disposal and at our fingertips that simply did not exist a scant few decades ago.

Anyone else grow up with rotary dial pay phones and needing to go to the library or hope the parents could afford to buy the Encyclopedia Britannica to learn about the world?

[robert l]

I'm with you Randy, I'll be 73 in a couple of months. My first recollection of using a phone was, when we picked up the receiver, the operator said, number please ! Small town, we only had two operators, one during the day, and one at night.

All 3 cameras worked for me yesterday. This morning I wanted to see how bad the storm was that is currently rolling through and the Vintage camera is solid black. I've tried both IE and Chrome with the same results. The Ultralight and Warbirds cameras are working fine.

Is anyone seeing anything on the Vintage camera?

[GeorgeP]

G’day Brian, I’m currently in NYC and did not have any problems yesterday with my HP mini using Firefox. This morning, I can get ultralight and warbirds but not vintage.

[glider90]

Rewinding the Youtube feed it appears a flash of lightning strikes behind the camera (there is a flash anyway) and it stops panning then goes black. That was at 5:20 AM.

[Sara Nisler]

All, you may have to update your bookmarks for the webcams. They are now under EAA's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/eaa
You can also access them here: https://www.eaa.org/airventure/eaa-airventure-news-and-multimedia/eaa-airventure-webcams

[CHICAGORANDY]

Vintage seems to be back up and running fine. 10:30 am Chicago time

[Wrongway Feldman]

They moved the webcams to the Main EAA YouTube channel. (https://www.youtube.com/user/FlyWithEAA/videos?view=2&flow=grid)
They also have added live ATC audio, it seem they are testing the audio at the moment, Audio comes and goes.
Alternately you can listen here LiveATC.net KOSH (https://www.liveatc.net/search/?icao=kosh)

The buffer in the players has not been enabled, So you cannot back up in the stream to look at the past video.
This is a bandwidth saving feature.

Here is the previous EAA AirVenture Live (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2OolgSNdCByWPNvcxN657g/videos) YouTube channel.
That channel no longer has any live feeds on it.

The links on the EAA website (https://www.eaa.org/en/airventure/eaa-airventure-news-and-multimedia/eaa-airventure-webcams) have been updated.

Obviously they are in tweak mode.

[SteveCostello]

Major thanks to all who are involved with the live cams. Lot of work there. I like seeing the stuff getting set up... and it just feeds the excitement for me actually being there in [checks watch] 30 hours!

The live cams kept me sane last year when I couldn't come. Actually, it was a mix of sanity, jealousy, and sadness. But I liked that they were there.

Thanks, again.

[GeorgeP]

What I should have also said in my previous reply was congratulations to the webcam team. :thumbsup: Nice work with the cameras. Is it my eyes or does this year’s video feed look much better than last year’s?

Only two sleeps to go before boarding my flight from LGA to ATW. Woohoo! :rollseyes:

[GeorgeP]

Vintage webcam is up.

[Mayhemxpc]

Love the addition of the the tower radio to the webcam. Thursday evening and amazing how busy it is...and how clueless some of the pilots are.

Makes me a a little sad, though, as I can’t fly my plane in this year. First time in ten years.

[wyoranch]

The tower chatter being added is an incredible addition. I truly feel bad about my childish ‘disappointed’ comment a few days earlier. Thank you to all who have made this available.

[krw920]

My only complaint, petty that it is, is the Ultralight cam has two channels of ATC, and it is hard to follow at times as there is so much cross talk at time. But other than that, GREAT JOB!

I couldn't make it to A/V this year but I sure did a lot of watching on the web cams. A great big THANK YOU to all the people that make this possible.

[PaulDow]

I’m still baffled on how people can complain so much about the air show feed when we tell them we’re just watching a raw feed that isn’t intended for direct viewing.
i’m also surprised the the three live cameras show a few hundred people still watching.

[Mayhemxpc]

My only complaint, petty that it is, is the Ultralight cam has two channels of ATC, and it is hard to follow at times as there is so much cross talk at time. But other than that, GREAT JOB!

I found out something great when I got back home. Live ATC does stereo. When listening to the feed one frequency comes over the left speaker and the other over the right. That was neat. Now, if I could figure out how to do that with my plane's audio...

[N3kf]

Thanks to the volunteers that put up the feeds. Very much appreciate it. I suspect they will disappear shortly (warbirds seems gone), but even though looking at them now is sad, it let's me daydream a bit about a great week. Thanks again!
