Network Changes

Webcams use a lot of bandwidth. With the kids on their iPads and us watching Netflix, the cameras had been dropping connections at times. I’ve upgraded the network infrastructure to a business class router and access points. So far, it’s looking rock solid!

Webcam Update

Image refreshing from the webcams should be smoother. Please let me know if you have an issue with the new refresh.

New Location

Although the basement remodeling continues, the unfinished mechanical area is now mostly enclosed by a new wall. I’ve moved the web server to its new home in that space in along with 12 runs of Cat 6a wire to support cameras, TVs and computers. Sorry for the downtime, but barring anything unplanned, the remodel should continue without further affecting the site. Once the basement is complete, 3 new camera locations will come online including the basement playroom, media room and fitness room.

WebCams Added

Two of the original cameras were old enough that they didn’t support the network change I made and had to be replaced. The new cameras are now on duty!
