Do I go through thevillages.com or is there another way?

Go to this link and click on the temperature in the upper right and the webcams will pop up in a smaller window.

I was told you needed a program to run the live web cam. Is this true and if so where can I get it.

Thanks for your help-

Yes, it's true. The web site will install it. Depending on which browser you use, you might see a message (which probably includes a warning) that asks if you approve the installation of the program. After you approve and the program installs, you can see the feed from the cameras.

No fuss no muss.

For some reason the underscore between cam and lsl isn't appearing here so this link doesn't work.

If you are using Internet Explorer version 8 or 9 from Microsoft you may receive a blue notification bar at the top of the browser window that Active-X needs to be installed. There is a problem with TV web site so you need to change the web cam to the one at Spanish Springs by clicking on the Go To: Spanish Springs Town Square under the picture. Now again you will see the blue info bar at the top of the window and this time say yes to the Active-X install. You will then be able to view both web cams.

Thank you!!!! I was unable to load Active-X and didn't know why, it said my computer wouldn't allow it...when I switched to Spanish Springs I was able to do it.
