Any chance we can get larger dates and times on these?

I'll check, but I don't think so HC, sorry. It may be possible when I finally can contract with the service my developer found who will grab the images, size them all the same, watermark them, and upload them for us, as they will likely be able to add their own time/date stamp too, but that's a ways off before I can do that. On my phone I just blow the image up until I can read it - are you looking on the computer or mobile device?

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Had to ask as I am blind and old so even in the large picture view I can not see the time and date stamp so have no idea if the camera is real time or broken.

Thanks for checking!!!

There are different models of cameras used for the webcams.

Some camera models just don't support displaying a date or time in the image.

Others will, but the font size is fixed.

There are a few that have date/time plus adjustable font size. One example is Elk Creek Fire. It's pretty big now, and could be made even bigger. I think there are a couple of others which could have larger fonts too.

One solution for the site would be to just let you keep clicking on the image until it displays in its full size, then the date/time (if it exists) would be easy to read. But the rest of the image would not display the whole picture on screen unless you zoomed back down again.

Another possible solution would be for the website to add its own date/time stamp to the photo based on the date and time the photo file was received. That would work for all cameras, but I don't know the technical issues involved in doing that.

Just some thoughts, not that I know much about what a website can actually do...
