Monitoring snakes

Anyone else monitoring their setups with some sort of a cam? I did setup something for me to use while away or at work or any other being absent from my love :snake:

I've recycled old android phone for now that streams video on interwebz for my viewing while i'm away, over a cell phone, or just via any browser. It allows me to use LED on the phone itself for "night vision" so i'm not limited to daylight or in house lightning:rofl:I also have a surveillance monitor to notify (email/sms) me about any activity and specially if thermostat fails ;)

Didn't know where to put this topic so it's in General BP. Couldn't really agree with BP pictures and housing :P

P.S. Thinking of getting me a HD, 360 rotatable and tiltable IP camera with IR so i can monitor more tanks at once and with more precision. Also a zoom is a nice option. Call me crazy but i like to have eye of good option :love:

Oh how did you go about setting up an old smart phone to stream video?

I am both impressed and rather perturbed at the same time...:confusd:

Quite simple actually. Installed a software that supports http video streaming on android. I've used IP Webcam which runs on boot. Phone stands on cheap tripod and is always on charger. And that's about it ;)

Then for monitoring on the go i use tinyCam Monitor (pro). And while behind laptop/PC i use normal web browser. The surveillance setup is a bit more tricky since it requires constant monitoring which means 24/7 running PC. Also needs it some fiddling around with masking the motion detection and event triggering. :)

This what I see on my phone:

At work i abuse a web browser:

And this is surveillance software setup :) It also allows for IP cameras to pan/tilt/zoom

I believe i haven't left out anything important ;) Probably the same thing can be done with iCrap devices :cens0r:

The same can be achieved with cheapo IP cams ranging from $50 on depends on what their options and video capabilities are
