Yet another reef cam

[Kevin McG]

Well I was tired of the webcam issues I was having so I went out a purchased a wireless Panasonic BL- C30 webcam. Wish I did this a LOT sooner

Here is the LINK

Be sure to click the "SINGLE" tab to display the camera and you can change setting for size image clarity etc... clicking on the image will move the cam along with the pre-settings and the arrows.

Enjoy the show....

Hi Cindy, It's real time and the camera is on from 12pm till about 11:30pm est.

Getting the cam to run wasn't to bad at all, I just connect through the wireless network I run here. The camera was $300

I am a HUGE Bruin's fan, actually I am watching the game as I type this.

Cool about playing in a womans team, womans (and men's) hockey has really taken off up here in Northern N.E..
I wish I still has the time to play but I just don't have the time I use too anymore.

Very nice, I am thinking about Xmas right now
Is there a mode were you can you take a higher Res shot, even if it's a still frame?

The camera has the capabilities of snapping a shot on a predetermined time and it will sent it to an e-mail address or even a cell phone. It will also use motion to trigger a photo if you like.

There is a selection "favor clarity" on the left and that is about as high resolution as it gets.

this is really cool. I wonder what it is like to see this camera move in your house and know some stranger somewhere is moving it and looking at the video it makes. Big brother is watching!!!haha

no big deal, it is only viewing the tank pretty much depending on how I set it up for viewing. I always have the ability to hit a privacy button right on the cam to shut it down too.

i thought the same thing.


very cool.
