How to Use the Bulldog Cam

Mounted high above the Hunsaker University Center, the Bulldog Cam is capable of capturing a wide sweep of campus landmarks, from Armacost Library to Currier Gymnasium. Web users can individually control the camera’s movements for two minutes at a time by following these steps:

Step one: Take control of the camera

Click the “Start Control” button to take control of the camera. If someone else is already using the camera, you will be placed in a queue until the camera becomes available.

This icon indicates that you are in the queue waiting for control of the camera. The running clock displays the time remaining until your turn.

This icon indicates that you are in control of the camera. You are allotted two minutes, and the time remaining in your session counts down in the lower left-hand corner.

Step two: Use the camera

Use the left scroll bar to tilt the camera up and down. Use the bottom scroll bar to pan the camera left and left.
Use the scroll bar with the tree icons to control the camera's zoom. Scroll up to zoom in and scroll down to zoom out.
Click the backlight button to toggle backlighting on and off.
Click the snapshot button to capture a still photo of the current video image (the picture will be displayed in a new browser window).
Click the data capture button to quickly reset the camera's focus to a different area. The camera will focus on the point that you select with the yellow target box.
