Live Streaming Webcam

[doma25]

Due to the fact that i have to be at collegel, for 9 out of the 12 months, i naturally miss my tank! So my brother for my b-day, set me up a live streaming webcam to always look at my tank. It really is awesome! It was 7 dollars for the website, maybe a 100 bucks for the camera, which is small price to pay due to the fact that i can now stare at it for hours at a time!

If it wasn't for my dad, this could not be possible, it got the point where once i graduate he said hes keeping the tank!

here are a few pics of the tank fromthe website. its a side view of the tank, were still figuring out how to be able to put in in the front of the tank.

what web host are you using for $7 and how it the video in terms of lag?

I'm guessing the $7 is a yearly fee for the domain name? You can actually have a free domain name from dyndns.org.
The $7 is unlikely to be a web host because, well, its a streaming video camera from his home network, not stored video..

he said he hosts it or something he said as "host gator" and he bought the website off of go daddy.com. It is an annual fee. The lagging is not bad, the camera is controllable to go up down etc, and the video is choppy but pretty nice, def not streaming but it is very good.

Can we get the link to it?

bluehost.com does hosting for $5 a month. That's who i use.

As for the cam, im sure you just need to install some software on your pc that FTPs or whatever java live streams it up to your site.

Looks like a DLINK cam, but i could be wrong.

as for the link to my website, right now i can't give it out because it is in my moms office and the controls for it would be an invasion of her privacy.

however, i have some cool pictures of my hippo tang going in for a nice cleaning from my shrimp. I sniped the pics from 300 miles aways!
