First look at the new combined Encounter Player – feedback / bug reports appreciated!
SnapIT would like to announce a major upgrade to the Encounter online webcam player.
You will notice:
- Quality has improved
- Significantly faster load times
- Faster and smoother menu
- Better memory management
- Integration of the 360 degree cameras
- A new better date format
As this is a pre-release beta demo, the old date format is still visible under the new date format.
Also, these are test images so are not live.
Really keen to hear back from you regarding any bugs or issues - or any other feedback.
The player will work on Android with flash installed (no longer available) but we will have an app ready for download soon, as well as an iPhone / iPad app also.
This player will be going live across all our platforms.
Test it out here:

SnapitHD Camera has many applications, here is just one.
My name is Alex Sims and I am an MSc student at the University of Otago. I am lucky enough to be conducting research in one of the most stunning and inspiring environments in New Zealand; the Southern Alps. My research project is looking into groundwater movement in the Southern Alps, and in specifically in the rock that lies adjacent to and above the Alpine Fault. Most of my work is in and around the Tartare Tunnel, a 300m long tunnel about 1km eastwards of Franz Josef.
Rain and snow gauges are usually very scarce in mountain regions, so HD timelapse footage from SnapitHD cameras in the Fox Glacier area allows me to better establish when snow fell and how low it settled. An invaluable tool in my data collection. This research will contribute understanding to a variety of other projects, including the behaviour of the Alpine Fault and groundwater resources on the west coast of New Zealand. For any further information on the research pleas contact:
