Lambcam is Live

by Susan on January 27, 2010

Lambcam is back up and broadcasting live from the Juniper Moon Farm barn. Currently it is set up in Linda, Dimples and Jasmine’s stall but we will be moving the nannies and ewes into the picture when they are ready to kid and lamb. In the meantime, I will be readjusting the camera from time-to-time to figure out the best location and shot.

Last year, the volume of traffic during lambing overwhelmed our website server, forcing us to purchase a second, lambcam-dedicated server. We’re gearing up the live feed early this year so that we can ramp up the traffic slowly and make adjustments before lambing and kidding begin.

If you are using a Mac you will need to download the Windows Media Player here. Firefox users may need to download this Windows Media Player plug in. For reasons so technical they nearly make my head explode, Lambcam is best viewed in Internet Explorer.

LOL! Please don’t let your head explode – no need to explain, I’m sure most of us will just take your word for it.

Maybe it’s because I’m so sleepy, but it’s not working yet for me on Internet Explorer or Firefox.

Sorry to report, it’s not working for me either. I use Internet Explorer.

Is Agnes pregnant? (That’s my niece’s name.)

I see the feed fine, btw.

I see goats! Yippee!

This morning, it’s working for me on Firefox, but not on Internet Explorer. Sweet, sleepy goats – I am in love. Though this year I don’t expect to be as glued to the lambcam since I have less to escape. I am so grateful for this thing – saved my skin last year, totaly.

Erin–thanks for all your hard work getting Lamb Cam up and running–I know all the Juniper Moon Farm fans will appreciate your swan song!

I’m so disappointed. I can’t get the live feed from the lamb cam and I have IE. I see a square with a red “X” in the upper left corner and that’s it. I can enjoy the videos which are further down on the page, though. I’ll keep hoping that this auntie will
be able to see her nieces and nephews soon!

If you’d like a recommendation on an Apple-based webcam server, just let me know.
