During periods of extreme viewer interest in certain one-off events like hurricanes and new ship arrivals, you may experience difficulty loading our webcam websites or be presented with "content not available" messages by our video players. Unfortunately, we have finite viewer capacity and it is not economically feasible for us to provide an infinitely scalable video service. We do provide some dedicated resources for our subscription services and they should provide you with a much more stable viewing platform during these events.

Maho Beach Cam and SXM Island Cam

Update Jul 21st, 2024 : Maho Beach Cam is now operating reliably after last week's installation of a power backup solution.

Update Jul 13th, 2024 : Both cameras OFFLINE indefnitely or for long periods. We are working on replacing damaged or power outage insensitve hardware and installing power backup this coming week.

Thursday Jun 13th, 2024 : Both cameras are suffering from power supply issues on the island.

Maho is going OFFLINE for 1-2 hours each day due to utility load shedding. Unlike many other locations on the island, ours has no backup generators. However, we are planning to install some backup power in the coming weeks.

SXM Island does have generator backup but our camera did not recover well after a recent outage with both utility power and backup generation. Currently OFFLINE. A site visit is required to diagnose and fix.

Fort Lauderdale Webcam

Update 1/28/2022 : Cameras have been removed from the Pier 66 site today. We hope to return them once construction work is completed, possibly 2024, and have been enthusiastically invited to do so. In the meantime, if we can find a temporary home for an elevated view camera then we will.

Update 1/24/2022 : We have been advised that as construction work is intensifying, power supply will be very erratic and we will need to remove/shutdown these cameras for possibly two years. Not wholly unexpected but nonetheless disappointing to lose the great views from Pier 66. Final removal details and date still to be determined.

You may see periods when the cameras are OFFLINE due to construction work at Pier 66 reaching our tower roof location. We have worked with management at the site to prolong our camera availability and thank them for their continued support and co-operation. However... there are no guarantees that we will be able to maintain 100% uptime.
