Hi the camera set up is a Logitech PRO 9000 webcam which is looking through one side of a 10 x 25 binoculars and i think the frame rate is about 25fps.

Cheers Ian.S

Wow good cam, not very busy but very clear. It would be amazing to have something like this at Heathrow!

Wow! were looking very forward.
But will there still be the option of having the pictures of previous aircraft saved?

Yes. Plan is to add a dedicated page that shows the stream. I also want to build in a feature to show video clips via thumbnails so you can replay ones you've missed during the day.

How can the photos be taken with such precision and clarity?
What kind of camera/software are you using?

It seems impossible that the camera can take pictures of each passing plane directly in the middle of each shot!

Hi there. I've created a thread with the set up details.

An absolutely sensational site, James! Thanks in advance for all the fun I expect to have here.

Almost done with server change and new details feature so video is next up! Nothing ready to go yet. In development.

Watch this space.

You might want to reset the home setting. It's currently north of Northolt, showing nothing of Heathrow at all.

DOn't really understand your problem, the cam seems to be working fine today.
