My new web page - photos and webcam

sweet...

is that a streaming wedcam or recorded?

frame rate seems way to good to be a live feed.

If it is what is your setup?

also, who is hosting the live stream?
 
This is a "live streaming" webcam. I am using Windows Media Encoder software with a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 with a high quality Carl Zeiss® lens. My DSL service provider is PRTC.net, a local company from Puerto Rico where I live .

The music is in my hard disk and is a selection of "cool jazz" songs mixed with itunes. The encoder software was set to get audio from my computer instead of the camera microphone.

My only cost in this project was the webcam which was purchased at ebay used for $60.

I am very happy with the results :)
 
so you are streaming for live for no cost?

thats awesome...ive wanted to do that on my website for a long time.

Ive got the same camera i believe.

Could you share what settings you have the camera setup at?
 
Paul you have a wonderful website. Excellent photos!

I have to pay for my DSL internet service but my streaming is free because I don't pay extra for that. I understand there is a limitation of five persons connected at the same time viewing my tank.

My camera is connected to my computer via USB. For the webcam to work I need my computer on. It takes processing resources when the camera is steaming and my internet connection is a little slower.

Settings are not in the camera but in the encoder software. You can adjust brightness, color balance, zoom, etc. You can also monitor how many people connect to your webcam with time and date.

Here is a site that explains the process of downloading and installing the Windows Media Encoder.

The other thing is that if you have a non static IP you will need a free service like DynDNS.com to create a domain name and they will change the IP of the domain every time your provider change your IP.

Good lock!
 
Your feed has a high FPS. Its really smooth. Very nice. Is there an option to sacrifice FPS for better image quality? If so, what are your settings now?
 
My settings are 29.97 fps at 282 kbps. Size is 320 X 240. This is the highest fps offered by the Windows Media Encoder. There is also an alternative of 15 fps.

This setting is good for those usin DSL. I can set it up to 1128 kbps but you will need a very good connection to watch the stream.
 
funny enough, i have a logitech 9000 just waiting for me to hook it up.

I just need to find or build the PC that will stream it! :-/
 
The web cam is at the bottom of the page. It is a live stream with no controls. Just the video. It is not on all the time. Try again. Right now is on.
 
I got it working. It doesn't like Firefox apparently.. I love your Tang combo. I have the same. Beautiful tanks.
