toastedblue Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) as we're trying to hatch Cream Legbars thought I'd mess around with a webcam so the (minded) kids can watch from home have set it up to stream continuously, max 4 connections, until they hatch (fingers crossed) then I might put it in the brooder, which should be more interesting to watch can you kind soles test it for me... if you can't connect it's probably because the "max connections2 has been reached... http://www.mumsaway.co.uk/cam.php let me know what the quality and frame rate are like you can change them by placing your mouse pointer over the image to show the menu thanks Edited July 29, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey Lucy Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hi, Looks good to me. (I spent longer looking at your website rather than the eggs You're not far from where I grew up - Bridgend) Are the children seeing it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susiepoos Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 how exciting!!! I can see it clearly - no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toastedblue Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 thanks all... does the time at the bottom of the image run on time, as in does it seem to keep time in real time ? I know it's not very exciting to watch at the moment but when they hatch and are put in the brooder for a few weeks it should be way more interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 That is sooooo Yes it does keep real time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toastedblue Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 when I say "brooder" I mean a cat transporter box that I'm in the middle of converting... will post some picks when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Wow, that's great, lovely clear pics and very smooth picture movement, not jerky and intermittant like some i've seen. Sorry that wasn't a very technical description Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I can see eggs but you already know that thats a funky device you have there isnt it - I wish we could hatch eggs, it must be really exciting - but prudence lives here at the moment. I know, it hatch virtual eggs from your webcam yay cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGirlsMum Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Even I can see it and I usually can't get through to this sort of stuff. Mid August seems ages away but time will fly. Weve got chickens and quails due 30th July and Im dreading being away this weekend. Fun starts Sundat evening when we stop the turning cradle and up the humidity.

toastedblue Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 just to be a bit technical and nerdie... the web page and image you see are actually on my laptop, not on the internet as such (although technically they are), so you're taking the image directly from me and eating up my bandwidth... UKOnline, my ISP, wil probably have something to say about it no doubt the software I'm using is so simple to use and FREE, you can even set it up with a password if you wanted to restrict access to parents/family/friends etc. only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I was wondering how you got that set up, personally I would buy some web-space and set up a FTP . Image won't be smooth, but you get to have loads of people watching at the same time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toastedblue Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) Can't see it. sorry Ubereglu, windows decided to install an update and reboot so I've disabled autoupdates for now I was wondering how you got that set up, personally I would buy some web-space and set up a FTP . Image won't be smooth, but you get to have loads of people watching at the same time.... if I lower the frame rate and quality slightly I could allow 20 or more connections... might try that later just to see how slow my connection gets Edited July 25, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toastedblue Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 I can see it !! Clear as a bell and it's a great idea. I'm hooked !! I think the "brooder cam" will be way more interesting... that will be weeks of (hopefully) at least 2 chicks doing their stuff until they're big enough to survive in the great outdoors fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toastedblue Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 bad news... candled the eggs in the incubator last night and 2 are unviable. they showed all the signs of early death, the 3rd doesn't look promising either so here's hoping the 2 under our broody Sussex are doing better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
