New webcam on the refugium

[Ashlar]

This webcam is one of those handheld microscopes, mounted and pointing at the sand / water interface in a corner of our refugium.


If you watch for any period of time, you'll see amphipods, isopods, copepods, bristle worms, spaghetti worms, dorvilleid worms, maybe even an ostracode or two.

What camera is it? How is it hosted? Camera with ip?

This is a 'celestron deluxe handheld digital microscope' hooked up to a pc running webcamXP.

This is a kids handheld microscope for looking at stamps, bugs, coins, etc. Nothing too powerful, but just right for looking at small critters on the glass.

Now put a mandarin inside the fuge and lets watch the DESTRUCTION!! lol.. Pay Per View!

 

[Ashlar]

Well, considering that an amphipod takes up 1/2 the screen, a mandarin really would be like godzilla.

I added a second refugium cam.. click on the 'switch camera' icon to change views.

Are you using the same camera on the display tank?

Wow that's too cool. So when I click "Move Cam Left" or whatever is it literally moving the camera in your house? That would freak me out at first lol!

 

[Reef Breeders]

Cool! Love it!

No, the camera on the display is a panasonic bl-c310.

Yup, there's a little ball in the center of the camera that moves. It's absolutely silent, so I can't tell when someone moves the camera.
