OK, everybody grab a broom, hosem scrub brush, etc!
Time to get the trailer washed out!

Don't forget...if we are doing 5 seconds or 10....if we lose a signal, the cam will be stuck at its last image before we dropped signal. LOL

I am thinking that the blank images, etc are due to the browser not being able to load the new image in time for the next cycle to begin (or perhaps your connection speed). I have had the same webpage open, and it misses about 1 out of 50 or so frames....no difference between 5 or 10 seconds other than new images faster. The real question is......are MORE blank or partial images happening at 5 seconds rather than at 10???

My two cents worth: Firefox cycles every 5 sec. but never any picture.

IE: all I can see is about 1/16th of the top of the frame but never any picture.

I have dial up, so I thick perhaps that is the problem.

How did it do at 10 seconds for you nancy?

It does the same 5 or 10 if ie is used there are more black screens at 5 or 10 seconds. I open from my home page. The problems are on this side not BRS's.

I need to find a happy medium. I kinda figured there might be a problem going faster since the viewer's computer may not be able to complete the image before the next one tries to start.....it all depends on the viewers connection speed, and actual computer speed.
:( I think 10 would definately work better.

Im getting half a picture and when it finally loads the whole picutre it goes to the next one... I dont have time to look around at the big picture lol thats what is happening here

Perfect picture the last 20 minutes BRS has a strong signal. A strong signal is the key to everything. When it is lost black screens. The OS doesn't make any differance ie brings to your computer a weaker signal.

BRS - have you put it back to 10 seconds? I never got chance to see what 5 secs. was like when you were driving.

BigRigSteve said...

Yes, I just now did. it seemed alot of folks cant get a complete image before the next one starts....

connie said...

I'm still getting half picture then the whole picture. i have DSL wireless highspeed internet using IE.. hey its better than nothing but sure wish the big picture would just popup to begin with..
Thanks Steve for all you do for us.. your a super great dude..lol

connie said...

Don't want to jinx anything but it is doing great now.. dont know what you did but it worked on my end... thanks

BigRigSteve said...

It's ok on IE but no picture at all on Firefox. Pity about the 5 secs! Thanks for trying.

Right now I have 3 machines open. A 17" laptop with Windows 7 BRT opened on bing. A 15.4" laptop with Vista BRT opened with bing. A 22" PC Quad with Vista with BRT opened on ie. All are showing full screen. Best picture is the 15.4" on Bing and the worst on ie. The same amout of black screen 5 or 10 seconds. The operating system you have makes no differance. When BRS get his new quad laptop his processor speed will be fast. He will be able to use any seconds he wants too and do things much faster. The older the computer the less you can do with it. The signal BRS receives from the tower makes the picture we see. Strong good picture, weak black screen and everything inbetween.
