I've also noticed the same thing with the SA Rivermouth cam more recently. Several of the crew have also said the same. Cam not clear any more - is there any explanation as to why?

There's a roof line in the cam view (bottom left) from the neighbouring property that we can't frame around (the roof wasn't an issue until a few years ago when they upgraded and extended the balcony). Occasionally the auto-focus gets stuck on that roof line (just a few metres away), which puts the surf out of focus (500-600m away). We tried to fix it - unsuccessfully - last year, so the only option is a camera upgrade with a different lens so we can zoom in a little more.

love these behind the scenes insights @thermalben. i'm sure there's often pain-in-the-arsedness associated with them, and I appreciate there's probably a lot of delicacy around arrangements, but are there any aspects of what happened to the WR cam in west vicco back when that you might share? seemed like it stayed a 'maybe' for over a year too..
Hey there
I've noticed that the Rivermouth camera isn't very clear anymore, seems like to focus is off.
Even the roof/gutter in the bottom left hand corner is out of focus, I swear it never used to be,
Is there anything that can be done to improve this?
Cheers
