Anacapa Island underwater webcam

Im not an island guy but i thought some of you guys might find this of interest.

EDIT: THE FOLLOWING WAS SENT TO ME BY A PERSON WHO KNOWS HIS WAY AROUND THE COMPUTER. IM POSTING IT SO YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN INFORMED DECISION

"While i dont think that specific link will make anyone computer have issues, you dont know what is in a file even if you download it from a trusted source. usually trusted sources ask you before automatically downloading something. it would probably be best if it were taken down. If there was a link to a live view on the screen that would be one thing, but this is something a tad different"

While it may be a legitimate audio and video file, i think its customary to warn people about files automatically loading onto their computers without their actual permission.

Re: Anacapa Island underwater webcam

Its a camera view that shows the vis and view from a pier at anacapa. Im not sure how it loads or anything else, Im pretty much clueless about computer stuff. Tech etiquette is not my strong suit.

Re: Anacapa Island underwater webcam

Its all good i just felt the need to warn you and other who clicks on this download. Websites that automatically downloads something into your computer are no good in my book and people should be weary of clicking on a link that does this. Despite the fact that this specific one may be harmless and go to some underwater camera, this is exactly how computer viruses and spamware gets spread.

Re: Anacapa Island underwater webcam

No biggie - its just streaming video. Same thing if you look at surf cams on surfline, etc.

Here's another one that shows the sea conditions in and around the cove:

It will - you have to have Flip4Mac installed so that you can run Windoze movie file formats. It also takes a while to load. I'm watching it on a Mac running Mountain Lion.
