    Hello,

    My son is visiting there and we enjoy being able to look for him but I cannot seem to be able to use guest1 and mauimanakai to log into the webcam. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  2. admin says:

    Guest has asked that the web cam control be turned off. Control will be resumed on Saturday Jan 9th.

  3. John Elson says:

    Looks like somebody gave the camera a good knock or something. The presets are more interesting now, but I can’t say much for the home position, curtains aren’t my cup of tea!

  4. Steve says:

    It would be nice to have a live chat room for people viewing and/or controlling the cam. Or is there one already?

  5. John Elson says:

    seems a bit more to the left than it should be can’t see the pool at all

  6. John Elson says:

    It’s way too far to the left now. Not the end of the world I guess…

  7. Doug says:

    We are flying to Maui Monday morning! Hope all goes well and the tsunami is smaller then predicted.

  8. Paul Roos says:

    Thanks for the webcam. We’re able to share it with our friends around the world. We’re up on Keonekai Rd. Can you move the webcam to the left a bit so we can see more of the beach? Much Mahalo.

    My prayers are with you. My brother sends his best wishes. (since he’s an atheist)

  10. Dave says:

    My folks are staying at the Mana Kai. They were woken up this morning at about 5:15 local time and told to evacuate. They are currently at the ‘Safeway eating muffins’. Thanks for the camera. I’ll be able to report to them from Colorado.

  12. Curt says:

    How big are they predicting the waves to be?

  13. Jeff Vincent says:

    Here in northern Maine on the border with Canada doing work for border patrol. Nice job running this site, looks so lovely there!!! Keep up the great work and thanks :)

    Mahalo for sharing your beach cam with all of us! Your cam is by far the BEST beach cam I’ve seen yet!!

    I can imagine what the view is like in real life sitting there….my goodness! What an amazing view!!!

    Aloha and Mahalo!!!

  15. Dave says:

    I’m unable to log on to the camera controls with the supplied log in name and password. Has it been disabled?

  16. admin says:

    3 problems. 1. Firefox has will not let me set the left and right ranges. That had me baffled. Perhaps when I set the password back in Firefox, that didn’t work either. But Safari works fine. 2. Current guests keep crawling behind the curtain and turn the camera. 3. CNN picked up the feed and thousands are watching so my control is very slow….

    Its working now!

  17. Dave says:

    Thank you very much..looking for my parents.

  18. Bruce says:

    We have stayed at the Mana Kai in Jan/Feb in 2009 and 2010. We love the web cam: it keeps memories alive, especially since we live in Edmonton, where the palm trees don’t wave.

  19. Lee says:

    What happened to the other view? Much more interesting.

  20. admin says:

    Despite being told I’ve tried to limit the viewing to public place, guests decided to unplug my network with out asking. Additionally they refuse to answer phone or door. Worst case my view will return next Monday when I am there. .

  21. R.A. says:

    Just figured that all the tsunami viewing traffic overloaded the server.
    Any way you can “padlock” the hardware? What inconsiderate “)(&(*&*$” messes with other peoples equipment? Hope the security deposit was not refunded!

  22. John Elson says:

    Some people are just paranoid! They think you are looking at them when you’re looking elsewhere. Maybe a certain minimum level of zoom would do the trick…

  23. craig says:

    Hi,
    Can you please restore the contols …we’re looking for those sunsets
    and to see how windy it there..
    thanks!

  24. R.A. says:

    Still can’t get to use interactive cam. Get ‘address not found’ ‘can’t find server’.

    Tried various user/pw combinations without success. Just getting the upper level view down on the beach refreshing ever minute or so.

  25. R.A. says:

    I should learn to read the crawl line and check my e-mail, really!

    Sorry!

  26. Bruce says:

    What has happened to the web cams? The every 30-second one is no longer updated, and the full-motion one is not available at all. Quote: ‘…Safari can’t find the server “mauimanakai3.viewnetcam.com” ‘

  27. admin says:

    Up Now. The Scientific Atlanta modem went to lights out… but roadrunner could still ping it.

    Never happened before.

    We had to reboot.

  28. Jennifer says:

    I’m sorry but this is getting ridiculous! I come to this site often…varying from once every couple days to several times a day…and it’s CONSTANTLY zoomed on women or certain parts of their anatomy! I come to the site to see the scenery and people having fun because it’s my HUGE desire to visit Maui soon. But the camera is zoomed so closely that you can barely see the sand around them…or it’s zoomed on the 3 certains parts of their anatomy. Plus, it’s been zoomed on little girls A LOT! I’m not exaggerating…it’s zoomed on females 75% of the times I visit (which is often).I DON’T CARE that we could see the same thing if we were at that beach…because if we saw a pathetic pervert staring at women and little girls while at the beach…we’d say something. It’s getting to the point that I don’t enjoy the site anymore cause it’s turning into free soft porn for losers…and not a way to enjoy BEAUTIFUL Maui!

  29. Bruce says:

    Sorry. Just saw the notice re May 25th.

  30. John Elson says:

    I guess they wouldn’t settle for “locking” the controls?

  31. John Elson says:

    Tomorrow is the big day, (crossing fingers)

  32. Lesa says:

    I will be visiting the Mana Kai next month. Everytime I look at this website it shows zooming in on women. Its ridiculous and scarey that people are using it for this purpose. Im hoping this is not the case while Im on vacation. It is very sad that it can be used for this when its purpose is to view the beauty of Maui. Is there not a way to prevent this?

  33. admin says:

    The cam recenters to a home position every 30 secs. So if someone if so rude as to want to stare…They have to work real hard to do it.

    You can also take control of the cam and move it yourself.

    70% of the viewers are women. Which surprised me too!

    Once it was focused on an infant. People cried issues. Turned out it was the grandparents.
