It looks to me like the camera is firing when an object is in the center of the field of view. Not only that look at the image times and intervals
9:04
9:35 (31 minutes)
9:51 (16 minutes)
10:06 (15 minutes)
10:36 (30 minutes)
10:51 (15 minutes)
11:07 (16 minutes)
11:38 (31 minutes)
11:53 (15 minutes)
Not exactly machine like interval times which suggests that the image is event driven.
Now that is an interesting addition to the camera and I do not know if that provides useful information for the person looking for information on driving conditions. It does however make the images more interesting. I am guessing we will see lots of images of snowplows this winter.
As for the new MRDC cameras I gotta say that while new cameras are a good thing twitchy new cameras is a bit aggravating. The Dubee and Magnetic Hill cameras have frozen and the Magnetic Hill camera has already been taken offline.
While I am on the blog I gotta say that the people in Beaver Harbour have once again changed the field of view for their webcamera. It has a better view of the harbour and promises to be interesting if it stays on this line through the winter.
