Update 24th April: Get ready - we think one of our eggs has already 'pipped'. Hatching seems imminent! Check viewer comments on this post for the latest updates from our keen webcam watchers.
We're pleased to be able to announce that both of our web cameras can now be viewed on all iPhones!
For the last year or more, old iPhones could display NESTCAM 2, but not those with modern versions of Safari or other browsers. It seemed ironic that my ancient iPhone5 worked OK, but not my recent purchase of a modern iPhone SE. This all came to a head whilst we tried to adjust the position of NESTCAM 2 whilst dangling on an abseil rope without being able to see how our changes were actually affecting the view!After finally investigating the issue, our webhosting supplier, Streamdays, appears to have resolved the issue. Thanks, too, to Tim Unwin from Derby City Council. This is a screenshot taken today on an iOS 17 device. Whilst only NESTCAM 1 has sound, it's great that mobile users can now watch either camera.
(Eagle-eyed viewers might already have spotted that NESTCAM 2 is lagging an hour behind. We'll try and fix that next time we're up inside Derby Cathedral tower.)
Please let us know by leaving a comment if you're still having difficulties viewing either webcamera, but make sure to describe what system you are trying to view them on.
