Cook Street Webcam Archive

The Cook Street webcam pictures are saved every minute and you can check them out for a week at a time here.

There are 7 days of images with Day 0 starting on Sunday and Day 6 ending on Saturday. When you click on a Day it shows a page divided up into hours. The top row shows the hour 6 to 19 (6am - 7pm). There is a picture every minute.

The images get overwritten every week. So if you are on the water and want to check out if the cam got you, check here.

Don't worry thats not too stupid a question :lol:

The only way I can think of to make a movie is if I download all the images, run it through a jpeg to avi converter then repost. It would be a big file (10-20 MB) and it would probably have to be resized to 320x240. I could do it if it was an epic day or something. Maybe there's an automated script out there that will do it on the server. not sure.

The webcam archive thumbnails are slow to load since there are so many of them and it has to generate them on the fly. So its sort of meant as a way of looking at a particular time of day if you know you were on the water.
