Check out the big family group of baboons! http://www.wavelit.com/?ch=Wildlife&sh=africam# (in case someone on the planet still doesn't have it :)) Joyce >Check out the big family group of baboons! > >http://www.wavelit.com/?ch=Wildlife&sh=africam# >(in case someone on the planet still doesn't have it :)) > >Joyce Oh, that's great!!! I just checked it out and nothing much in the way of animals but the bug sounds really got Lucy's interest! She was checking around the back of the monitor to see if there were any interesting buggy things back there. >>Check out the big family group of baboons! >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > checking around the back of the monitor to see if there were any > interesting buggy things back there. I've yet to see any animals, other than a couple of turkey vulture looking birds. The bugs sure were noisy just now though. (4:19 Africa Time). We need to get an AfricaCam hotline going so I can see something interesting. :-) >>>Check out the big family group of baboons! >>> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > need to get an AfricaCam hotline going so I can see something interesting. > :-) I saw a water buffalo lying down the first time I looked (several days ago), and once there were some birds. Other than that, I haven't seen anything either. Joy > I've yet to see any animals, other than a couple of turkey vulture looking > birds. The bugs sure were noisy just now though. (4:19 Africa Time). About this "Africa Time" thing. (I know you didn't make that phrase up - it says that right on the home page.) What's up with that? Africa is a huge continent - I'm sure it must have more than one time zone! > We need > to get an AfricaCam hotline going so I can see something interesting. :-) LOL! I have a friend who absolutely refuses to go out and watch for shooting stars during comet showers, because "I never see anything!"

Maybe here, Africa is short for South Africa, which I think has only one time zone. I love watching it, even if there are no animals in view. Just the fact that the sun is shining. Finland is in the same time zone, but it's still pitch dark here at this time (6.30-ish), while the sun is shining down there.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

That must be pretty weird. I love to watch and listen no matter what is or isn't happening on the screen, too.

I think it's probably just so we would all know what the local time was in that location and not have try to figure out which time zone it actually is.

(5:12 a.m. Africa time; 9:12 p.m. Central Time) MaryL > Lots of giraffes right now! (5:12 a.m. Africa time; 9:12 p.m. Central Time) Hey! 9:12pm Central is the same as 7:12pm Pacific - which was *four* minutes ago. So I quickly went to the site - but no giraffes. Those guys move fast! Joyce > > Lots of giraffes right now! (5:12 a.m. Africa time; 9:12 p.m. Central > > Time) [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Joyce They are still there. Look at the trees at the back of the screen -- the giraffes are very small from a distance, but the camera will probably move in for some closeups.

Using Safari on OS X Tiger, I had to download the latest Flip4Mac from the M$/mac website and this will then cause the cam stream (which is WMV-compatible only!) to be auto-loaded in QuickTime Player when you visit the Nkorho stream page. It took a while to load up and for images to start streaming but it got there eventually. HTH Deb.

I am using Win XP-home edition. I also have a couple of "players" installed (Windows Media and RealOne).

Have you tried going to the http://www.africam.com/ site and clicking on Nkorho Stream on the left? I like that interface better than the one at the link originally posted. I don't use a Mac, though.

Under Windows XP, Firefox gave me the audio, but no picture, only the "initializing media" message. Internet Explorer gave me both the audio and the picture. SignatureJohn F.
