Many people ask about my webcam. Im using a Linksys wireless webcam. You can find the camera info here:

Always happy to post mine...

This is a Panasonic C30 wifi webcam with hosting provided N/C by Panasonic. Works well enough provided my WIFI network is working. Resolution isn't great.

Make sure you click on the tab called "single".

Where are all of the cams???

I have a Canon VB-C50ir camera which is web enabled, but I haven't posted the link until I set up the access restrictions so that you don't pan and catch my wife in her panties. I leave that privilege to myself <grin>. It is a KICK *** camera, with wonderful features and it zooms in close enough that I can inspect individual polyps on sps. It's a heck of a machine. I have a picture of the camera posted on one of the last pages in my build thread (click the red house). I'll post the link to the camera and pwd soon enough.

The VB-C50 has a built in web server and 26x optical zoom. The software is awesome. For example, I have a dozen or so presets and I have pictures taken of each of the presets at regular intervals. It then automatically downloads them to a folder on my computer and I'm going to use the pictures to do time-lapse photography so that you can see my favorite frags grow into huge colonies in a video. The only part of that the software doesn't handle is the making of the video from the stills.

The video is at 30fps and is beautiful. Great camera.

Cheers!

Have you done any of those time lapse videos yet Los? I love the idea of the camera remembering it's position so that you can still use it for regular panning and zooming while not losing your long-term lime lapse ability. My biggest issue with time lapse is that I usually have to sacrifice my camera for the period of the time lapse or else I'd never get it in the same position.

Thanks, Eric. No I haven't put any of them together yet. If you happen to have a recommendation for software to do so, I'd appreciate it.

Los, your tank looks really good. I was impressed with some of the ideas

 

[scaryperson27]

Sfiligoi owes you a new light... They supplied you those clamps, right?

 

[Los]

Thanks, Scaryperson27. The pegging and the water change system (which I'll post more details on soon) really make life easier. As far as the accident with the light, that wasn't Sfiligoi's fault. The bracket was something I came up with. I did buy replacement parts for the parts that broke, but they weren't the right parts and they didn't work, so I ended up putting in an Icecap - which worked perfectly. The original problem was my fault though.

By the way, I got the idea to set up the camera after seeing Untamed12's setup. Brad has one of the nicest tanks around.

 

[scaryperson27]

I misunderstood. Sorry Sfiligoi.

Thanks for the link. The speed of the video is really good.

Your fish seem pretty active when the lights are off.

I have a Panasonic BL-C1a. I believe I finally figured out how to embed the video on a webpage other than the cameras. Should work in most new browsers.

It did not work for me. I am using Firefox with XP

 

[gbreynol]

Is it a new FireFox version? Panasonic cameras use MJPEG to stream video. Safari supports it, IE does not and requires a plug-in. I will do some Firefox testing tomorrow to see if it does.

If you can't access the video on the homepage click on the Web Cam link to go directly to the camera and see if that works.

Very cool, Gardiner. I see that your interests are gadgets; it shows.

Are you using an AquaController? I'd love to set up a webpage like yours. You did a really nice job and I love how you can see the stats from the AC. Nicely done.

 

[tbar]

Got in now. My son the teenage tech wizard said the dash in the first link made it a non-existent domain. Looks really good.

Use this link if you dont want people playing with the controls or if you want to embed it into a webpage.
