Live Dropcam Feed Of My 40 Gallon Community

[Gvilleguy]

This is kind of cool. I was playing around with my dropcam settings and found the setting to make the feed public. So I turned off the mic sound and flipped it to a public feed and pointed it at my aquarium. Check out the feed here:

So next time I have a problem/question I can say "can you look at my live tank?"...
 
Let me know if it actually works or not. I know it will not work on IOS, as it requires flash.

Wow thats pretty neat, i like it! 

 

[bluesword23516]

It works! I have to admit, that is pretty stinkin' cool.  

 

[Gvilleguy]

Cool. Glad it works! Maybe I will just put that link in my signature.

What time do you feed your fish I want to see them tonight

Last night I realized after the tank lights went out that you could just see the inside of my house reflected in the tank. Not wanting a people spy cam, I set the camera to match my tank lights 4:30 to 9:30 PM EST. I will feed them at 5:00 today if I am in the house then...

Im watching your tank because mine is boring haha. Anyway, does the dropcam cost $199 per year or $199 as long as you want it?

Feeding in five minutes!

Ellie I bought a dropcam (not Dropcam Pro) in June. It was on sale at Amazon for $130 US. I do not need the DVR feature, which is where motion triggered events are recorded and kept on the dropcam servers. That requires a monthly fee I think. So I do not pay any on going fees and can still do the live streaming.

Blue sword are you on Chrome? I pulled the feed up on chrome last night on my laptop and it just gave me a black screen. I figured out that chrome was blocking the java popup from running and got it running finally. It worked on IE as well.

 

[sawickib]

Im on chrome with no issues... Even my add block does touch it... 

 

[EllieJellyEllie]

I was on chrome and all I did was close the tab and reopen it

 

[bluesword23516]

I am on chrome, I tried it a few times, first with just refreshing, then new tabs, then a whole new page of webbyness. Still no luck, but I will try again.
