25, 2004 The ACHA has recently integrated a web cam system to its revitalization and construction activities management. The HOPE VI Revitalization of Ohioview Acres, McKees Rocks, PA, is the chosen project for the new system. The camera is mounted on the rooftop of an adjacent 6-story ACHA apartment building, Ohioview Tower. It will be used to monitor construction progress and completion through the year of 2006. The system will be used to create a historical record of digital video and images based on views and schedules set in advance. The new web camera is a Canon model #VB-C10R, live pan/tilt/zoom controllable camera to any location that has Internet access. The camera is equipped with a high performance 16x zoom lens and provides a pan angle of 340 degrees (170 degrees each to the left and right) and a tilt angle of 100 degrees (10 degrees up and 90 degrees down). The camera system is accessible through a Javascript Viewer. The viewer gives you full remote control of the camera's angle (pan and tilt) and zoom magnification, allowing you to see far more than with a static camera. Preset camera angles (camera head aim and zoom position) are used to allow quick access from the viewer and image archives. Up to 8 presets can be stored. The viewer also allows users to snap digital pictures that can be saved, emailed, etc. The camera can be viewed from any compatible Web browser without the need to download or install any additional software.
