+ACampbell Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Check out my live nano webcam. You can see it at AwesomeReef.com It's nice to check on my tank from anywhere with internet. I'm still working on the settings. Does it work for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Yep works for me. That is too cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headless_donkey Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Dude you beat me to it. Very nice! What kind of camera are you using. I was looking into the Linksys wireless G, but I heard it was hard to use. It would be super sweet if you could take a pic of how you have the camera in front of the tank. BTW nice domain.

Thanks for the nice comments. I'm using a Logitech QuickCam for notebooks Pro. I have the poor mans webcam setup since I didnt't want to shell out $100 a month for streaming video. I have the webcam running to a laptop thats inside the cabinets to the left on my tank. The laptop is constantly uploading to my server through my wireless network, and the page itself has a meta refresh so that your constantly seeing a new image every 4 seconds. I'm still tweaking it, but overall I'm very happy. I'll try and snap a few pics soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres a pic showing the comp stowed away in the cabinets: Pic of the webcam in front of the tank: It may look like it, but the camera is really not in the way. The benefits of having it there out way not having it. Like most of us, I spend most of my day at work. So I wrote a little gadget that puts the video feed on my Google desktop sidebar, so I am always able to see my tank. I bought a little suction cup thingy that holds the camera nicely against the glass. I may use it in the future for a more condensed shot, but for now I'm enjoying the FTS.

+ACampbell Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Does anyone have some experiance working with streaming video I'm currently running VisionGS BE. I'm almost positive it's feasible, I just can't seem to get my settings right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ACampbell Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Ok, I know... I'm always talking about my webcam. But check it out. I've finally configured a streaming webcam. It's really cool. My only issue is that my ISP has been a little flaky and occasionally will block the port I use. If you can't see it, it's because your firewall is blocking outbound connections on port 8080 (witch is pretty strict) Watch it at http://www.awesomereef.com/stream.html Let me know what you think.
