Webcam experiment

[tfp]

only had a few minutes to get this thing online (smack dab in the middle of landscaping our frontyard and my daughters 4yr bday party in an hour). i tried using the camstreams media but couldn't get it to connect after trying everything .

anyways, i have it setup on my yahoo messenger for now. my userid is: air_plaza for those of you with yahoo IM installed. lmk if you can view it...

best viewing times would be from 12:30-3:30pm. thats when the closest MH is on.

double post... sorry

I tried to view it but got a message saying your web cam was not on line
I'll check later.

auntbeez, give it a shot today. i was trying to troubleshoot stuff around that timeframe and had to re-boot a few times.

what sucks is that i have to add every request to my yahoo IM initially to allow viewers. so there may be some delays.

Hey Tim

This stuff all get much easier if you have a public IP address. Your ISP will issue you one for around $5/month.

:thumbsup: Its working today. It is a little dark, but very cool none the less.
Looks like you have a ton of fish...or they are hyper. Mine only move that fast at feeding time.
Good show.

Tim - yeah agree with Brian. If you don't have a static IP address, just use a service like no-ip.com or logmeinhamachi.com ; and they are FREE.

I have my Aquanotes hanging off one and soon to be adding a 4-channel webcam as well.

e.g.

the following URL

http://eplankton.no-ip.org/aquanotes

port redirects the to my webserver on 8080:

http://68.123.4.228:8080/aquanotes/index.asp

No webcam yet....coming soon.
