A live feed question

[Bradyloach]

So I'm very intrested in making a live feed for my sav. But how would I do this?
I would get an hd webcam. But would I need to have it hooked to laptop and a server? How much would it cost me! Anyone care to help?

Haha, same here lol. Sorry I am of no help to you either

Bhaha oh your silly! My new cage will be ready in a week or 2! I'm going to drop the deposit soon yahhoooo

Its relatively simple. Preferably you would want to dedicate a computer to the feed though, as 24/7 video processing wont allow you to do much else on said computer.

old laptops work well, though a nicer computer will obviously run smoother.

that said..

Setting Up A Streaming WebCam

USTREAM, You're On. Free LIVE VIDEO Streaming, Online Broadcasts. Create webcasts, live stream videos on the Internet. Live streaming videos, TV shows

Use Skype w/ auto answer (so it turns on when you want)

Get an actual security camera

Also google live streaming software, definitely plenty of options there.

and now the response I wanted to put in..


Let me google that for you

My enclosure would have costs that if I had to buy everything..

5 sheets of 3/4 inch thick plywood = $150
2 sheet of 8 foot by 4 foot aluminum = $250
22 pressure treated 2x6 boat dock planks = $400
Safety glass door = (estimated) $100
hardware & wiring = $100
Fiberglas insulation = ???
support columns to hold up reptile room floor $100

Pickup truck full of topsoil = ???????

Keeping Monitors is not cheap.

On to of all this, if I ever wanted to move the cage, I would need a forklift or small crane.

[Bradyloach]
