Picture Framer Cam!

[Grahame Case]

I would like to announce the launch of Picture Framer Cam.co.uk

http://pictureframercam.co.uk/

watch the chaos ensue in a busy (sometimes) picture framer and Gallery in Edinburgh.

Hi Graham,

What a good idea!
I tried the link - got 2 pics - but they dont change.
Went and made a coffee - came back - still same pics??
Summat needs tweaking.

[Grahame Case]

yes, slight technical hitch at this end, should be sorted for the time being,


need to investigate that tonight though

[Grahame Case]

after further investigation, i have discovered my coding is horrendously bad.

(couldn't live test over the weekend as cameras were off)

http://cart.madaboutmounts.co.uk/index. ... _id=webcam for the fixed version


will update the pictureframercam site tonight to reflect this.

Not wishing to rain on your parade but you may get a spot of bother with the cam in tha shop. This link is for guidance to a fire brigade but the data protection points are valid to everyone.

cheers for the heads-up Pat,

we use this camera and also our hardwired camera systems for the purpose of security surveillance, and are registered under the data protection agency as a registered data keeper, the images are only kept for 30 seconds at the most, and are instantly deleted.

We have signs up stating that security and other cameras are in constant use on the premises, and any queries should be directed toward the management.

i think this should cover us.


most of the time it is either myself or Grahame on the gallery camera anyway, as he is usually piloting the CMC, and the camera tracks him as he is near it

[The Crofter]

Sounds like you are way ahead of me, nice one.

[Grahame Case]

hoping to add in a similar camera to the one out the front in the workshop - so it tracks the action as it happens,

worth the outlay, i do like my gadgets

[Grahame Case]

New motion tracking high quality camera added through the back.


also if anyone wants to appear in our "friends of" page please PM me,


all we ask is a reciprocal link in return!

That's a real bad hat Grahame.

[The Jolly Good Framer #1]

Careful, or you won’t get a link on the friends page!

[kev@frames]

its a lovely hat.
Who is the lady wearing it?



teriffic quality. is it a webcam or a cctv type camera?

[Bill Henry]

I certainly don’t know the laws in the U.K., I tend to agree with Pat in that I’d be very careful with this. (I didn’t look very hard, but I couldn’t see anything in the link that Pat provided that addresses this particular issue.)

While you certainly should have the right to save data such as this for security purposes, placing images on the web might be considered publishing “data” freely.

If these periodic events were newsworthy you probably could show these images to your heart’s content, but they might be considered “commercial entertainment” at which point you may need a “model release” for every customer whose mug appears in the camera.
