Perch webcam is working- As far as the Flagpole, it seems to be leaning a little toward the water

Nope, flagpole is straight. Must be the angle of the camera.

Thank you for the report! We'll be seeing it in person in nine days!

Not only is the camera down, but it won't be coming back up....ever!

Sunset is going to have they're own camera soon. Link posted on another thread.

Good morning everyone. This is Lou Gnandt. I returned to the US from Sint Maarten late last night and have been reading all of our viewer's posts this morning. Thank you for your support and the overwhelming compliments on our Maho Beach/ SXM Airport broadcast. As many of you have noticed, our live stream was constantly being disrupted due to power outages. We shipped a battery backup to the island last year and had it professionally installed. The outages continued even with the battery backup (and being we take great pride in our high quality broadcasts), I flew to Sint Maarten 2 weeks ago to conduct an onsite analysis to pinpoint the issue. Not finding any problems with our equipment, I installed a remote monitor/alarm to alert us if our power cable was disconnected from the battery backup. I also installed a brand new camera at that time. As soon as I flew back to the states, we started receiving alerts from the newly installed monitor/alarm indicating that the main power source of our equipment was being tampered with. I jumped on a plane and showed up unexpectedly on Sunday afternoon. When I discovered more tampering took place (in addition to the power cord being removed), it was an easy and instant decision to remove our equipment box immediately to secure our broadcast equipment. The cabling and camera were removed by me personally before the sun came up on Monday morning. The equipment will remain on the island and is being stored in a secure location with a very trusted friend. Now the good news! We are working on securing a new location for our equipment. Please don't ask because I am not at liberty to discuss any of our future plans at this time. I will say that we LOVE the island and people of Sint Maarten/Saint Martin and will do everything in our power to restore the high quality broadcast to which we spoiled you with. Our broadcast quality bar is set very high and we realize anything less would be a total disappointment to our viewers. Again, thank you for your support and stay tuned to PTZtv. The best is yet to come! Lou - wonder if sunset beach bar and grill have an explanation for this? Better be a good one

Already another long and informative thread going about this.
