Thought you folks would like it:lol:.

There is only one camera but they can pan and zoom. The did a close up of a Impala buck (I think they call them rams) at about 0330 our time this morning.

[Gus]

I'm not getting this to work. It just keeps playing a 23 second clip over and over. Any ideas?

[30-06]

yea..same
it use to work fine for me..now it just playes the 23 second clip..its done it to me before then it changes to night time

[Woodrow]

[3kills]

[30-06]

5-6 zebras right now

[bsa30-06]

I was just watching them.!!!I like this camera.

[Woodrow]

how long do you have to wait to see a lion eat a zebra

[Schmaus]

I watched when the camera turned from night to day then someone came and moved its view from the waterhole over to the left and zoomed in on the lions that were there. Then the camera was moved back to the water hole again.

[Byson]

1 giraffe and 8 zebras

[Undergrad]

Holly crap it took a long time, must have been noon, then as the sun set then they vcame out

Was like hunting all over again, don't stare, just glance over the terrain, and memorize it, then notice something diferent

[30-06]

pouring rain there right now

[Wildman]

Hey that is neat!

[4pointer91]

I'm not sure how ethical it would be but it would be cool to have a wireless webcam of your favorite honey hole to watch at home anytime. I don't think think technology is there yet, would most likely require radio repeater or satellite infrastructure.

If you were too lazy to get out of be you'd have to watch someone else draggin a nice one out of your spot ;-)

[30-06]

night time right now

[Woodrow]

hey its still night time there 30-06

[jakerazer]

awsome web cam! thanks. Does anybody know exactly where this is located in Africa?
thanks

[Mini_Me]

Does anybody know exactly where this is located in Africa?
thanks Nkorho Pan is a natural water hole in the prestigious Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve, in South Africa. Nkorho pan is named after Nkorho bush Lodge which gets it name from the Shangaan derivative for the call of the yellow-billed hornbill, a common and unusual looking bird from this area.

[ARC]

I see they changed the camera location this morning. It's now looking out over an opening with some grass huts in the background.

Nevermind....looks like they just had the camera spun around. I guess the watering hole sits right in front of a lodge or something.

[30-06]

lion is here...it rotated around to the lion drinking

i think the camera moves automaticly...cuz i have been watchin it and watched it turn slowly....

[30-06]

ya i v watchi it turn fast..its like in a little track.and im moves when it senses movement.

[308BAR]

Haven't see a anything big yet been watching it on and off for 2 days now, when I do I'll post up a screen shot, could I suggest to everyones who's watching this just to document it by posting a screen shot. Thanks.

[DropTines]

I have been watching it, it seems like some walked across off in the distance but nothing but birds, and the annoyin crickets at night

There was a very large male lion when I checked it when it was first posted a few days ago, but I haven't seen anything since...

Edit- 15 secs later it rotated, now showing a large herd of gazelles and the lodge.

I attempted a screen capture but all that shows up in the bitmap is black inside windows media player. Maybe someone else knows how to make it work.

[4pointer91]

looks like a herd of gazelles ...with a large building behind it. Can see a person walking along the deck of the building in behind the animals.

[3kills]

i have only ever seen zebras i watched for a long time waitin for a lion to come eat a zebra but no such luck... how do u take a screen shot? and i have neer seen it night time there...when is it night time there?

[Mini_Me]

At night time I could see a guy walk past.

[JohnS]

Lots of game there on cam right now!!8-)

[JohnS]

Lion there right now!

[308BAR]

Damn i can't get a screen capture of this as well, but yes I can confirm female lion. thanks!

OK guys I've found a way to do a screen capture on the media player.

Here are the details:



So here is the free and simple way to capture Images from Windows Media Player

Open Window Media Player
Then go to Tools | Options
In Options, select the Performance Tab
Way below you click on the Advanced Button
Uncheck “Use Overlays’
Click Ok
And you are ready.Now run your movie in any size or screen resolution. Use the standard ‘Print Screen Key’ Method (http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/2005/03/capture-desktop-images-screenshots-in-one-click/) as described and you have captured a snapshot from your favourite movie on windows media player without using any special multimedia software. Enjoy!

[johnes50]

Very cool. I haven't seen anything yet except a few flyby bugs.

I minimize the picture but leave the sound on. Sounds like I'm in the bush. If I hear something then I check the screen. My daughter was wondering were the sound of crickets was coming from. John

Just after I typed this I heard "slurp slurp slurp" and a hyena was having a drink.

[JohnS]

LOL! a spider is going to put a web on the cam......

[Byson]

just a little bump

[30-06]

lots of impalas or gazelles..and female lion.yesterday morning.and then it went to night time and there was a vehicle chasing lions

[cowboy-up69]

This is coool.

[ryanb]

This camera will swivel at times, and you can see a lodge in the background, which after some research I found out is this one: http://www.nkorho.com/

Sun Jan 21 9am here... large herd of wildebeast in the field. Camera pans and focuses on movement. No skinny dippers yet... someone is messing with the focus and manually adjusting the settings now...

I was involved in a project similar to this with Lester B Pearson College out at Race Rocks near Victoria. We set up two remotely contolled controlled video cameras that can be controlled by users on the internet. Telus and Apple supplied equipment and my company LGS group managed the project and provided technical support. This was about 7 years ago. I'm not sure who is involved now but looks like they have five cameras. check it out and be sure to use camera 5 so you can pan and zoom in on the rocks to the north side of the main island... there are ab out a hundred SeaLions there right now... http://www.racerocks.com/racerock/video5remote.htm Often see Sea Lions, Seals, nesting gulls, very occassionally killer whales etc.

[DropTines]

Yep, 9:19 and the wildebeast have gone

[3kills]

oh there is somethin there right now

[3kills]

now its zoomin in on dam flowers...

Here is another Africa Waterhole. 24 hours a day. I just watched a group of impala and various birds. Sometimes you just get a lot of bird noise. There is a 9 hour time difference.

I went of Africa for the first time in 2006. What an incredible time! 7 animals on the way home fromthe South Africa taxidermist.

[MB_Boy]

Anyone know approximately what the "daytime" hours are over there? I keep tuning in during the dead of the night and staring at what likes a big rock on the near side of the watering hole.......:sad:

[3kills]

i think some one said they are 16 hours ahead of us...

[MB_Boy]

I swear there is not a "live" animal within 10 miles of this waterhole. :confused: I have seen nothing but the odd ripple in the water from the wind.

[Fisher-Dude]

Saw a monkey, elephant, gazelles, and some other big antelope (?) this morning. I've also seen wildebeasts, giraffes, lions, what looked like hyenas in the dark, and lots of birds. Best time is about 7am PST which is just before dark there. I want to go to Africa even more now!

Yea he looks real interested in the camera. I'm waiting to see if he messes with it. Nope, he left.

And a bunch of gazelles and wildebeasts came just as he left. Lots of action today. Wildebeast just chased off the gazelles. And a bunch of Zebras showed up. This is the most animals I ever saw.
