Very nice! Can you explain how you embedded the video? I also use a mac so I should be able to do it the same way.

If you are not so techie. I just bought a panasonic ip cam all I did was put in the disk click setup and done. Got all the port forwarding stuff done automatically

lvpd186, There are a few ways to embed it.
1. The easiest way is to use Dreamweaver and set the SCR to your camera address. Mine is

2. Use iweb on your mac and create a text string, then make that a hyperlink to your address. Mine is the same as above.
I have dreamweaver, so i used a combination of both. I made the website using iweb, then i opened the page in dreamweaver and set the SCR.

Thanks Rouselb, I'll have to figure that out without using dreamweaver.

ok, i got the same web cam for my father that luisgo has (Logitech pro 9000). To set it up, we will either need to get approx. a 16 foot extension usb cord, or buy a usb wireless connecter. Im thinking it would be worth the few extra dollars to get the wireless. Has anybody ever used something like this?http://www.google.com/products/cata...&cid=6706243103814026128&scoring=p#ps-sellers

bubbles I use an active cable extention, It is necesary because of the distance from my computer to the camera.

Let me know if the Linksys wireless adapter works for you. It sounds like a good idea.

I actually looked into the extensions earlier today, it seems like it might be better for the price. The fish tank is adjacent to the office so it shouldnt be a problem to drill through the closet wall. We may purchase the linksys wireless in the future if we set up a second webcam.
