What happened to the Sonoran Spa live cam ?

It used to be really cool to check out the beach from the live feed. Anyone know what happened to it? Or, if there are other live cams in RP ?

Kind of funny that they have an old recorded version from 2014

The live version looks like this

I believe that's the live cam at the Sonoran Sky you're talking about. I don't know why it's not working right now. You could email Jim Ringquist at [email protected] to get an anwer.

It's been down for quite awhile now. I don't think getting it operational was very high on the to do list.
Sadly the camera lens was always dirty and whenever it was really windy the camera was usually pointed elsewhere rather than the beach.

Someday when I'm down for 6 months of the year at a time, I will install a HD webcam (that will be cleaned regularly) that will always show
my view from Cholla, always a great sunset.:)

And when will that be?

It was up for about a day recently. I used to check it daily but gave up.

If it's something you all used and enjoyed, why not email Jim and ask him about it. Maybe it's an easy fix. Could be the solution to the problem.

Brokenwave--Having one in Cholla would be great too. It would be fun to watch those sunsets when we can't be there. Hope you get it up and going sooner rather than later.

It should happen in the next 2 years, finally got the wife to ok getting Internet next trip down, then I will start shopping for a camera to mount with a good vantage point and where it won't get stolen, pinto point is pretty isolated in the summer months and have had a few things disappear when nobody is there July to October.

Hey Broken, did you hear about the guy that went missing scuba diving this past Sunday by Pinto Point?

PlayaPerro, Sorry, I even spoke with my local friend yesterday (Monday) he didn't mention it.
I went back to Phx. a week ago. There had been people diving around Pinto Pt. every day I was there, May 23- June 2nd.
Sad to hear things like that happening.

Nice shot, I have never been that high up on the mountain, was that from an Ultralite fly over?

Guess I don't need to look at that ever again, must have forgot to tell the maint. guy to wipe off the lens cover.:eek:
Having a blurry fogged up video image is not the best way to show your product.:confused:

Humidity gets it. Better than nothing, but not much.

Looks like I'm going to have one up and running by mid October this year. Probably a 720P version so the quality will be pretty good.
I really want one that will pan and zoom, bit pricey to have hanging on my outside wall, just tempting some bandito.

GV, I am not sure about better than nothing, but agree not much.;)
And, I will have somebody wipe the lens cover off whenever it gets dirty.

This might fit the bill for an outside HD cam http://www.homemonitor.me/cameras/homemonitor-hd-pro/
But I'd be sure to get the Power over Ethernet option which would mean just running one cable when doing the install.

What ever anyone gets make sure it is not the Belkin one Costco is selling....bad....
