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.

SXM Island Cam

Thursday Jan 26th, 2023 : We are expecting to be OFFLINE for a week starting tomorrow, Friday 1/27 due to maintenance work on our local Internet connection.

Friday Jan 13th, 2023 5pm EST : Camera has been OFFLINE again since around 9:45pm local time Thursday evening. Believed to be a chronic problem with RF interference at the site (heavily populated antenna farm). Our Internet backhaul is also wireless. No ETA for a permanent solution.

Tuesday Jan 10th, 2023 7pm EST : Camera went OFFLINE just after 7pm local time (6pm EST). Investigating...

Port Nassau Webcam

Wednesday Sep 7th, 2022 : Long-term chronic problems with the local Internet service have again surfaced in the last few days, typically in the hour before ships start departing. The problems can last for 10 minutes or for over an hour. They may manifest as pixelated or smeared video on some devices or as stuttering/jumping video on others. Engineers with our local ISP are investigating.

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.
