[bueller]

i want to be able to view my reef when I'm not home to see whats going on.

i'm assuming u wanna broadcast your video stream thru the internet. there r software like these. however depending on your upload speed, resolution n frame rate would b limited.

With a TV tuner Orb says you can access it from anywhere in the world. I have not tried it. But you should check out the site.

i had many issues with firewalls n upload speed suck also. i click on firewall solutions n solution from them was "coming soon.." lol.
i assuming i need to open a port in my router firewall n configure it to forward it to the pc in my network.
this seems like another "go to my pc" programs.

I bought two of these off ebay for $75 each to watch my baby from work. Was going to move one of them to the tank. Real easy to setup, can be wired or wireless, up to you. Built in webserver so it's totally standalone.

 

[bueller]

thats looks like what I'm looking for, I don't use a linksys router...does it matter? can you use any router with it?

And watching TV at work, what is wrong with that. I have a SLINGBOX it rocks, i watch it on my Treo, so TV with me all the time, unless kids are home, and then i have to watch Dora the Explorer or the High School Musical...

Orb I think lets you operate the tv tuner card in your pc independently so you can change the channels.
