Webcam Basics

Choose one of the web cameras and watch the new James B. Hunt Jr. Library take shape on NC State’s Centennial Campus. Careful though—it’s surprising how addictive watching building constuction can be.

Camera One Mounted west of the site on the Partners I building. A great vantage point to view the north end of the site. Camera Two Mounted west of the site on the Corporate Research I building. An especially good view of the construction on the south end of the building facing Lake Raleigh.

A couple of hints:

Take control-You can move the camera to survey the site, so be sure to experiment with the controls under the photo to survey the site for interesting goings on.

Hit the “Home” button before you start-The person who controlled the camera before you may have stopped while looking at a roof or parking lot, or zooming in on a random tree. So hit the “Home” button (located below the image to the right of the controls).

Enjoy the Experience-Each viewer gets to control the camera for 60 seconds. If you aren’t first in line, you can see at the bottom of the web page what number you are in the queue and how long your wait will be.
