Badger Cam North East England

Infra red garden camera with motion sensing revealing the night time habits of a wide variety of animals.

Weather-Cam Bochum, Western Germany

Tiger CAM, The fattest cat on the Internet

8 Live video lines. Cameras all around my house, including one for my cat. 4 cameras have Pan and Tilt. LED sign Shoutbox. Line 7 (Front Door) cam uses Motion to monitor who goes in and out of the house.

Amthors Garden Cam

Colour CCTV, attached to a cheap BT878 4 input Card (Grandtech or so) with motion on SuSE 9.2. Actually, we have three cams, two CCTV on two cards (for the framerates sake...) and a net based web cam. All with motion 3.2.3, doing snapshots, timelapse and surveillance. To manage this, I've just created some jsp's to maintain the files and a streaming servlet to proxy everything thru port 80 of the web server. And of course, the good old cambozola. When I have some time I'll dig in to that, more then 4 fps is killing my desktop.

Candy-Net Cafe

4 live video cameras (but sometime cam3 or 4 has offline), use 1 card video with chip BT878 4 input (Fly Video EZ) with motion 3.2.9 on Ubuntu 7.10, server spac are Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1500MHz cache size: 256 K, RAM SDRAM133 256 MB, HARDDISK 80 GB x 2, ADSL 2M/512 Kbps, Dynamic DNS (Custom DNS), this system is in the small internet-cafe name "CANDY-NET" in Bangkok THAILAND.

A suburban webcam

A webcam in a suburban residential road in SW London, UK. Using motion on an old PII box acting as general server (web, mail, etc). Dynamic DNS, so may be slow to respond on occasion.

Blender Defender

Using a network camera, a computer running Motion, a blender, a strobelight, and some X10 devices, to teach a cat not to eat the plants on the kitchen table. This one is a good laugh.
