Just click on the image and/or the control buttons to maneuver the camera.
There is a time-out function if other viewers wish to control the system,
so enjoy the features of the camera and thank you for visiting our site.
(Also, a great big "THANK YOU!" to Brad and the staff at NuSpectra for their efforts
'above and beyond the call of duty' helping us get this system up and running!)
OrcaCam Tips & Etiquette:
OrcaCam Tips:
1. The camera is simple to navigate, and can be controlled by either:
a. using the navigation bars along the bottom and sides of the camera picture; or...
b. clicking anywhere on the image and the camera will center to where you clicked.
(This is particularly helpful making small adjustments to the position of the camera).
2. The camera may be controlled by only one individual at a time.
However, the camera has a time-out function to allow several users to "get in line"
to operate the camera. Just click on the image or the navigating bars and the camera
will revert to your control in sequential order.
OrcaCam Etiquette:
As the whales are only visible during anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours
of any given day, we recommend that unless you are skilled at navigating the camera,
you refrain from operating the camera if someone else is doing a good job keeping the
camera on the whales as they pass. Practicing navigating the camera is best reserved
for the numerous hours that the whales are not present. Thank you.
