      Thanks, yeah something happened when they were working on the clock tower. Unfortunately the webcam is hard to access and might need a lift or a ladder on the top of the stairs at the tower. I need a local helper with a ladder or lift.

        Are we allowed to bring a ladder up there?  Do you need an assistant or someone to do the job.  I can help anytime.  The lens might just need a wipe, could do that with a long pole?

          I'm not sure. The top level of the clock tower is open to the public. It has to be done safely. Maybe check it out when you are there next and see if a ladder off the top level with a safety harness would work. It might need cleaning, but to me it looks like the manual focus dial inside the housing has moved. I do have a new camera that live streams to replace this old one, or we could stick with the old one and just do still pics.

          Here's a pic from the top level of the tower:

              I stopped by the clock tower yesterday.  There's a lookout deck in front of the camera now.  Which puts the cam about 16ft up.  I have a ladder and harness that can easily access it, but I would prefer some sort of permission.  Who do we contact?  The cable coming off the cam also needs to be stapled back up.

                Thanks, I’ll see if I can get a contact. The equipment is all ours so it’s just getting an okay to put the ladder up and be there for prob less than an hour. I’ll PM you when I find out more.

        It's not showing any wind right now, so no
