Could somebody try this for me .....

Hi everyone,

I've just got my Birdbox cam setup again & it needs testing.

Could somebody click on the link & give it a quick check for me, it should have a Great Tit in there sitting on 6 eggs

birdcam


When it's sorted I'll put a link in OOF so the twitchers can watch

 

[Dave450]

Works for me.

Would you mind sharing how you do this?

Groovy, Paul.

 

[Grayman]

Works for me too!

It's a cheap & cheerfull B&W mini video camera fitted in the roof of a DIY birdbox.

Video goes into a USB convertor plugged into an old PC then it's streamed using WebcamXP

 

[Dave450]

Thanks for that, off to investigate WebcamXP thank you!

 

[mrgubby]

Thanks for the testing, I've now posted it in OOF for general amusement

[Lynton]

trouble seeing it here, through Windoze 7, moxilla........... :-(

 

[Dave450]

Great thing about the software is that it gives you html code so you can embed the stream into your own website.


TP staff room I think

 

[D_Fivehundred]

Wow, impressive

 

[mdollan]

WOW!

It's fast asleep too - lazy!

 

[Janice]

Venomator has one too.. she laid her first egg a couple of days ago.. so looking forward to lots more!

Yours seems to have used lots of nice soft dog-hair, Brian!!

[gumbo-67]

never seen a bird sleeping before

 

[Dave450]

How long are the cables between the camera and the pc?? Is there a length limit?

I'm guessing it's a wireless cam Dave.

 

[mrgubby]

I'm guessing it's a wireless cam Dave.

Its a wired camera on the side of the house with about 20ft of cable to the pc

 

[RobC]

That's so cool !!

I saw a Birdbox in the garden center yesterday with a camera in it, could really justify paying 50 quid though



(I'll just watch yours instead)

 

[STARRIDER]

[Dave450]
