Tell me what you think...

Cool stuff; I've been meaning to do this for a while. Then again, maybe I should wait until after the cyano is under control :\ What are the black lines in the foreground?

The image doesn't display in Firefox but works fine in IE. Go figure. Might be good to change the IMG tag to use "/" instead of "\". Also, the clicking from the five second refresh has driven me a bit insane(r).

Are you using an IP camera or capture card?
 
The black lines are my 12+ inch urchin. Right now I have a webcam using capture software. I am not too impressed with the webcam. I am working on the java script to refresh just the image and not the whole page. I will update when I get it done. I was also going to try and stream video but I will have to run a network cord to my fish tank since wireless is unreliable.

Thanks for the Input KEEP it coming.

Ok the page should be better now. No clicks :) Let me know if there is anything else. I will redo the page if I decide to keep it up :)

Please more feed back..
Thanks

I need to play with the camera settings. I did it for 30 mins last night and that was the best I could get out of it.

It is a
Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000

Maximum Still-Image Resolution 1280 x 960
Sensor Type CMOS
Built-In Microphone Yes
Camera Design For desktops
Maximum Video Frame Rate 30 fps
Maximum Video Image Resolution 640 x 480

I believe the still image is unconverted.

I am also going to have to move the cam up some so you dont see the urchin all the time. That is his new daytimg spot.

Yea I am trying to work the color thing out. I am not to impressed with the camera. It may be that i have 720 watts of light right above it. I am not sure. I dont know if i have time this weekend but i am going to work on it. Also going to get up a streaming link but connections will be limited due to bandwidth.

Will let you guys know.

Ok I know posting this will probably bring the computer down but i got the stream going. It's a little ""stop and start"" due to the computer is not being able to handle the encoding. I will fix this eventually:-p

Open windows media player- go file- open url

Type in

Well over the last 2 days i have scraped my front glass free of all coralline. Look at that reflection. I am still looking for a little beefier computer for the web stream. What do you like better the Streaming video or the picture that updates every 5 sec. I would like to do both but until i get a little better computer it is one of the other.

Let me know

Mike
 
Hey Mike,

What are you using to stream? Darwin, Windows media services or something else?

I vote streaming video, as long as your bandwidth doesn't suffer too much :)
