Another webcam bit the dust this week. It decided to show the world in black and white which I guess it was trying to reflect the way society is going these days.
Whether it's because we are right on the coastline and the salt air is a slow silent killer, but it's about the 3rd camera to pack up in around 8 years (There are two in operation). I've got to the stage of keeping a spare on hand. The one that lost its colour is a Westmile brand and from memory is cost around $50 on Ebay freight free. The replacement is an identical one, so it will be interesting to see how long it lasts. They run 24 hours a day, so I guess one can't really complain if they only last 2-3 years. I've just bought another spare of the same brand for $35 freight free on Ebay. My cameras are directly wired to ethernet, so are a bit cheaper and reliable than wireless ones.
