Live video - requires Windows Media Player 9 or later (may take up to 30 seconds to load).

Alternatively you can play the video stream in a stand alone Windows Media Player. When using the stand alone player it can help to zoom the image to 200% (right-click and choose zoom).

Viewing on a phone or tablet

If you view this page on a phone or tablet the webcam image above will be blank. You can still view the webcam though and how you do that depends on the OS of the phone or tablet. In all cases it might take a while for the picture to appear.

iPhone or iPad

You will need an app called iCam which costs about £3 from iTunes . The username is littleton and the password is sailing. (The framerate may be quite slow - probably less than 1 fps). You will initially see an array of four camera windows with the Littleton camera at the top left. Just click on that to get a full screen image.

Android

The simplest method is use the iCam app as with the iPhone/iPad. You can get it from the Google Play store. The username is littleton and the password is sailing. (The framerate may be quite slow - probably less than 1 fps). You will initially see an array of four camera windows with the Littleton camera at the top left. Just click on that to get a full-screen image.

Alternatively you can view the camera without a paid-for app but you will need to have the free VLC video player installed. Once this is installed you can click on this link and you will get a window saying "Complete action using" with a choice of video players. Choose VLC and you will get the webcam picture.

Windows Phone

Browser Compatibility

This page works best in Internet Explorer. For other browsers see the notes below

Edge (Windows 10): The Edge browser does not support the video format used by our webcam. However if you click the three dots at the top right you can then select "Open with Internet Explorer" which should work.

Firefox: A recent update (2016) to Firefox has resulted in the Windows Media Player (WMP) plug-in no longer working. To re-enable it see the instructions in this link. With the plug-in installed you should see an embedded media player window with controls. The controls can be ignored. The webcam image will eventually display but may be small. You can sometimes enlarge it by right clicking it and selecting zoom 200%.

Chrome: As of 2015 Chrome no longer supports the video format used by our camera software. If you still have an old version of Chrome it may still work.

Safari and Firefox on Mac: You will need to install the Flip4Mac application which is available here for $10. This allows Quicktime to play Windows Media streams and files. You should see a full size image in both Safari and Firefox (Chrome not yet tested on a Mac). [Note: The information given here dates from 2014 and may no longer be correct]

Linux: Linux users may require the Xine Movie Player. For help to install this try searching Google, using the key words - "install XINE" and the name of your Linux distribution; RedHat, Ubuntu, Mint etc.

Technical Details: Camera: Logitech Webcam Pro 9000. Software: Tincam. Resolution: 320x240. Frame rate: 15 fps. Bit rate 100 kbps.
