Webcam update (again)

by Brian Dorey 23. July 2012 16:09

2 of the town webcams have failed.

We didn’t want to have 2 broken images on the site as this generates on average 30+ complaints each week when the cameras are not updating.

We have had a number of complaints already about the missing or broken webcams but as they are owned and hosted by the business owners who have them in their shops we do not have any control over the cameras or when they will be replaced.

The IP cameras cost on average £200 each plus the cost of the business broadband line for them to upload their photos 24/7 and so it is an extra cost each business who chooses to host a webcam has to cover.

We will add the webcam images back to the site if the business owners replace their cameras.

Local Directory Abuse

by Brian Dorey 17. July 2012 16:04

The local business directory is getting several new submissions every day from companies who are not based in Swanage or the Isle of Purbeck.

We will not add your business if you are not based in this area so please dont waste your time and ours adding your details as they will only be deleted.

We are sure that there are not multinational businesses with huge warehouses located in Acton!

If anyone can translate this into the top Indian languages: Hindi, Bengali,Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya it would be helpful as the Indian submissions are the most numerous.

The lower high street webcams are now back online now the phone lines/broadband have been fixed. We have also updated the webcam page to make it load faster and allow you to view all 4 webcams on your screen without scrolling. The full size webcam images can be viewed by clicking on the smaller web cam images.
