Thinking about starting a reef cam website...

[ashtonmitchell]

Would anyone be willing to set up webcams on their reefs? I've only got 3 tanks haha. But it would be streaming 24/7 or as often as you log on. I think it would be a great way to show off everyones tanks.

It would be of course free. Just need some interest to get it started!

I have three webcams 24/7.

I just dont give out the address/pwd because the video servers only allow X clients, then blocks any new connections.

I would be irritated if I couldnt get onto my own webcam..

Other than that, my cameras are only good enough to tell that everything is still alive, not worthy of Ooohs & Aaaahhh's.

There wouldn't be any cap on how many users could view it at any given time. Well unless of course there was so much load that it crashed my servers... lol. Then I would just have to upgrade!

As for cams I could get a bunch of webcams at cost if anyone is interested.

The only downside would be it would be straight video and audio. It wouldn't bog down your own internet connection either. It would go from your house to my server and then people would be able to connect to my server and view it... Kinda like stickam.com but for reefs? maybe reefcam.com ha.

I don't know if there is a cap but my webcam is streaming now for a year and the maximum connections at any time are two or three. I don't see a problem with that.
