I am never without cams. That is not true if you are using V2 on every hit. On V2, you are basically presenting what is in the api return, no api return, no cams. I am sure there will be workarounds to handle that but using it as intended, there is not.

If you're using v2 to pull into a database, what IP do you use? The server IP?

I notice a distinct delay on my webcam page using API v2, of about 2 seconds or more - and I'm only getting a list of 40 cams. I want to eliminate this by going to a database driven approach, only trouble is my site is aimed more at UK and European visitors so those are the cams I pull out of the API, but my server is in the US. So that's not ideal.
