Does anybody agree with me that the random panning of the camera is a bit frustrating? I think it switches view too often and too many views. I think it could be better with only about three or four views and stay on each one a bit longer. I shall be there in less than three weeks and I did know the nice computer man. I certainly intend to visit him, at the very least to thank him for doing it because it is such a great thing to have. If many of you agree with me about views, I might mention it to him. (If just ONE of you agrees with me I might mention it to him! ).
I wish I could persuade him to allow a priviledged few to have access to the PTZ features (by "a few" I mean me of course!!!!).

I also think it changes view to often, now that you come to mention it!!

I wish I'd thought of this ... I could have gone onto my balcony when I was at the Water and waved to myself via the webcam!!! What a missed opportunity

OOOOH ... you can see a clear view of the queue for the Covid testing - that would have been useful, too!

Well Kate, apart from I don't know where to look, I can't see any sort of queue anyway! Or is this hypothetical on account of how I thought they weren't doing it on Saturdays?

I agree Dennis and greatly appreciate your efforts in the first place. It would also be good if the sequence was in the same order, rather than random. I doubt the camera would have been replaced without your “persuasive “ visits. I think that the housing also needs a clean as there appears to be few blemishes on it. At first I thought it was smoke at the far end of the Paralia. Thanks again for all your efforts. Bob

It looks very peaceful at the moment.
Maybe because it's c.7:00pm Greek time - the daytime shoppers gone, those seeking an evening meal not yet arrived.
This will always be "Dennis Cam" to me.

At first I thought it was smoke at the far end of the Paralia. Thanks again for all your efforts. Bob Thank you Bob. But to be honest, I really don't think my efforts persuaded them, unless one of the councillors raised my urgings at a meeting - I'd like to think so, but do you really think anybody in Greece would take any notice of an old man's words from afar?
Yes, I agree, same order every time, but I think that "random" was a feature offered in the settings and happily selected by the nice man - he seemed pleased about it when he demonstarted the camera in Beta to me. I guess he doesn't watch it like we do and doesn't have an interest like ours, I bet he just looks from time to time to be sure it's still working.
As for cleaning, I have that on my list (which I haven't written down, so it depends on my fleeting memory). I decided it was too far off the ground for me to reach, otherwise I would have resolved to force myself to brave the altitude, steps, climb etc to get up to the clocktower and give it a quick wipe. Maybe I'll ask if he's got a stepladder handy up there that I can pull out to do a wipe (and with luck he'll think he can't let this old bloke do a dangerous (to himself) thing like that and get a bloke to do it).
Whatever my memory does for me, I am determined to go thank him for it if I manage nothing else. It has been such a great pleasure and solace to me for the last two years. Perhaps I'll remeber to look at this thread before I go to see him!

Don’t go taking any risks Dennis. We don’t want to have to hear about any injuries again. The last time was bad enough! 😄

Hardly “the last time” Bob - that was SIX holidays in Skiathos ago! Mind you, I’ve still got the scar and it plays me up summat rotten when it’s cold.

My reference to last time was the last time you were injured, not the last time you were in Skiathos.
