Just found another webcam from Holland house. It's the first webcam I have seen that seems to be controlled by a person instead of being steady. http://www.portstmaartenwebcam.com/Now that would be cool to have such one at Maho beach, following the planes as they land.

BEST WEBCAM EVER!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> I just spent 10 minutes watching it. This is very dangerous, as I could sit here and watch it all day!!

It depends on when you're watching it. A while ago, the camera panned all the way both ways down Great Bay Beach, and then it panned all the way past the Sonesta Great Bay and then all the way over to the Divi, and up to Fort Amsterdam. That was SERIOUSLY cool!!

Hi. I made this it's own thread. Really cool webcam, especially when they move around to different views! I was watching people get off the water tender a few minutes ago, watched a couple get stopped by what looked to be a timeshare salesman. Funny as crap, watching the woman snatch at her hubby's arm and say "let's go!!"..

I could be wrong, but I 'assumed' that there is no way to control this web cam.

It's been pointed at the beach for quite some time now. Wish they would move it around again some. I had my speakers muted before and just now discovered there is sound, although I'm not sure if it's actually coming from the beach, or it's background noise they have attached to the video??

OK, that's kind of what I thought. Guess one would find out for sure when one of the ships was leaving, blowing their horn.

I tell you, this is a very BAD thing, as I'm going to be watching this thing for hours on end!

Went back to the site and after watching the ship disappear behind the big hill it panned back towards the beach. It would also pan forward for close ups too. Someone is controlling the camera live. Not sure how long they will keep this up as it take someone to do this. Even min wage will add up.

SXMWendell said: Have you gone to the speaker at the top left of the streaming window and turned the camera volume up?
SXM??? Wendell Didn't so any volume control but opened up a window with a lot of other cameras on it to choose from.

SXMScubaman said: Wish there were more of them of that quality around the island. You could sit in your room in the morning and decide which side of the island has the best wind or sky conditions before you set out. Wish Orient's camera was that clear and fast. And with a smart tv you could put it on the big screen, fix yourself some drinks, turn up the heat (if you happen to be in a cold climate) , and get that sand gravity feeling whenever you want.

Cool! There's a ship in again today! Will probably be watching a lot today! Can't imagine what it's going to look like come high season when there are six ships in!!
Interesting, though, the RCCL ships last week backed in and the ship today pulled in forward. Wonder why the difference?
