thelurch Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Thanks egluntyne for doing that, I saw the picture posting guide but unfortunately it doesn't work if you post directly from an iPhone, and I haven't got PC access at the moment.

MarkBevBen Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Wow thelurch, that's fabulous! You know I was just saying to hubby this morning how I'd love to put a camera in our Eglu to see what our girls are getting upto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Thats great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelurch Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 It's 50m of cable from the house, includes an adapter to connect to pc to capture video. Was £45 from eBay and very easy to set up. I can move the camera to the nestbox as it switches to infrared when the light level drops so will see in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I really like the set up you have given them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalia Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 OH has been promising me ChickenCam ever since our girls arrived. He bought the camera and set it up, but apparently there are "technical difficulties". Maybe this'll act as a prod to get him to look at it again.

madchickenlady Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Can I ask, what kind of camera are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madchickenlady Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Ooh How hard would it be to set that up to stream on my blog, do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelurch Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 I have no idea of how to do that, mine is just wired down to the house and then connects to tv or pc, streaming on the net is beyond me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken shack Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Wow how is that? Love your WIR also. Noisy chooks or not you won't be getting rid of the girls now you have put in all that hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Wow how is that? Love your WIR also. Noisy chooks or not you won't be getting rid of the girls now you have put in all that hard work. Sorry to be such a novice, dolt but what does 'WIR' mean. It is not on the Wiki list of abreviations.
