Get access to good enough webcam
Description
The existing bixcam would probably be good enough in terms of focused frame and resolution, but the framerate is too low (0.5 fps and less). Can we get a access to a version with a higher framerate?
If bixcam doesn't work out, find an alternative. A proposal was the top of the Kastner building, but we were not sure if the view from there is good enough (considering the trees along the Mur).
Update: Bixcam now seems to be located at Kastner, was previously on Schlossberg. Means fog is less of an issue, but the trees more.
What does such a webcam setup typically look like? Do we need to route the stream from the cam through a kind of proxy server which delivers enough bandwidth for those accessing the P4P website or is that already somehow the case?

Seems, they updated the webcam since we last looked at it. You can now speed up to ~7fps (by loosing 80% of the image quality).
Also the position of the cam seems to have changed. It is now directly across the river (maybe even on the Kastner building?) and as a resupt the lower third (half?) of the facade is covered by trees.
The cam is still maintained by Wolfgang Reinisch.
