Ok, we have changed trailers, and are ready to go.

Just a word about the new camera software.....the actual camera image did not change. EVERYTHING is the same. The only thing that did change was the ability for me to stop partial frames from showing on your website page. If you think the camera is out of focus/low quality, remember, it ALWAYS is on dark, cloudy, rainy days and at night. This is a small webcamera, and it does take light to work the best. No way will it ever look as good on dark/cloudy times as it does during the day. NO webcam can do that. I can't make the sun come out every day, I can't make the webcam perform better than the technology allows. LOL

Ok, let's head out on Interstate 80 and go West across Nebraska!

Ok, Steve, I understand. I was not complaining. Just wondering. Be safe.

And here comes the sun. It's going to be a good day to drive around and enjoy the scenery!

I have gotten several emails from folks saying the cam last few days was bad....so was a general explanation since we have been under clouds last few days. LOL

As far as upside down, no clue....somebody send me a pic of it.....never heard of such a thing. lol

Sorry to hear that people have been complaining. Now I feel bad. Didn't mean to sound like I was. Glad it was not me sending you an email about that. I do really enjoy riding with you every day. Sure wish I have a laptop so I can take it to bed and watch. I can't sit all day because of my foot. :(

BRS - Like lindaw I wasn't criticising - just trying to be helpful. If I get anymore up side down images I will save them.

Haven't been following this video quality thread - but I'd throw in my 2 cents.

BRS the screen resolution here once you added widescreen was OUTSTANDING. You could read the MMs. But in the last few frames I've seen today I can detect a degradation. Don't know why - (windshield, dirty camera lens, using lower bandwidth?)

But the view is still good.

Thanks for the ride . . .

Just a curious question; wouldn't the camera picture be a tad fuzzy anyway since you are moving while the camera takes a picture? Gratefully, my pictures are just great and so far no upside down ones. Maybe everyone should move to the west!!! lol, lol

Have a GREAT day Steve we love and appreciate all that you do to make this better for us. REALLY!!

I'm sending more Christman cards today. What a wonderful idea.

Well, Steve has decided this software is not so good. Thankfully it is on a trial basis, no money into it.
He has some tinkering to do as well. He says hold on. It may be a few days before he can make improvments. (This upside down pic thing is just stupid)
CANNOT go back to old software, it definitely crashes the computer.
He will get it all worked out--he only asks you to hold on.
He does not see your opinions as complaints.

Yea, the picture is fuzzy. The camera and program are shooting wide open. There is no depth of field wide open. If you can close the aperture the pic will be better.

Hold one, please. Please. Please.
He knows.

Thanks for info TL and thanks to BRS for working so hard to bring us a good image, we really appreciate it.

Dottie said...

Well, he did ask for our opinions! Quite frankly, losing the hot pink will help a lot.
