Sharing your Webcam

[Laura Boivin]

Hi all,

Would anyone be interested in sharing the URL so we can see your webcam?

I hope it's ok to do this, because I would like feedback on what you see & possibly have suggestions for improving things.

Thank you,

Laura

Not a bad idea.
Maybe you/*we should add the times your cam will be available.
Like DrYooper said the error "This page can not be displayed ....".
I presume your PC is switched off.

[Laura Boivin]

oops

I am on Eastern Standard Time.

The cam is on from 8 am to 8 pm EST

Will write that on the Index page.

Thanks

Has anyone tried to use a digital camera instead of a webcam?

Depends on the digital camera you use.
You can use it as a webcam (connected to your computer via USB port).
Then there is nothing different from what i already explained.

Of course if you have a camer that not can be used as webcam via USB
You have to connect the cameras SVideo output to your computer.
And not all computers have such connection.

[Laura Boivin]

OK...thanks for your response.
I will do some experiemnting.
I think I have the hardware needed for this.

I think I would get a better picture with a digital.

Thank you so much for this.

I am trying to understand how you have uploaded this.
Do you have a website & is the webcam running off of it or is it running off your PC?

I notice your link has ftp in it....I have tried the ftp without much success.

Please feel free to PM me if you don't want this information made public.

thanks again..........Laura

I actually setup my computer on DynDNS.com. This will allow you to run software on your PC that will update the DHCP address with DynDNS. Their site associates it with serveftp.org. You can create your own prefix to the link which is nice. I then edited the html to add all the other things onto the page.

Check out - DynDNS for more info. It's free.

I try to. You never know what you will see on there. A deer, a bear or some people drinking beers.
