Summary
In June 2013 Powers Do It Best Hardware reported that its webcam was offline because of power-supply problems and a defective replacement. Later forum users said the new camera worked well, and a June 28 notice announced a faster-motion streaming trial in time for the Fourth of July period. In December 2017, the operator promoted the webcam’s listing on Lookr.com, including time-lapse views.
Evidence limits
The forum preserves operator and user reports of restoration and a planned streaming trial. It does not establish continuous uptime, technical quality, or that the trial remained in service.
