How is it possible to put up a 1000 dollar camera on a live broadband
connection for a view like this? |
A camera has been installed at the Pajala-Ylläs airport (ESUP)! |
You should inform viewers that the camera will shut down during aircraft movements! Or, If you are so afraid of disclosing aircraft passengers (or their companies), why not raise and turn the camera towards the landing strip, or post a nice still picture with an aircraft instead of an empty apron? |
I am really annoyed when writing this! I have spent more than 20 minutes just to get a nice snapshot of the 10:55 aircraft when the window goes white, on both computers at my desk simultaneously! It was no fuzz with my connection, the camera was shut down but not the connection! Please, correct me if I'm wrong and I will promptly delete these my comments!
