Do to the bandwidth...
I am feeding the cam to a free server, and thats the only way to keep it free. Otherwise there is a subscription fee to take adds off. My ip cam has a built in server, but if I give you direct access to the camera page, it will give you your own stream and everyone else there own stream. This...
Before i installed the light in the coop. egg production went from 14 aday to 2 aday when the days started getting shorter. 4weeks ago i installed the lights and timer set to turn them on at 6am-9am and then again at 5pm-11pm. within 2 weeks they started producing eggs again. they do get to...
My coop had to be buttoned up for this storm of the century thats going to hit tonight. I stuffed insulation in all the eve vents to keep the wind from kicking up in the coop. Also I isolated one hen that has been canibalizing the eggs. Lets see how she does with 2wks of confinement...
Well...looking at my live chicken cam, I can see that she is the one breaking the eggs open, and a couple others just bite into the treat. She's in 2wks solitary confinement now. Lets see how it goes.

The range of the foscam cam really stinks. Ended up using my old wifi router and running it to my garage just to get to the chicken coop. Luckily, when I ran more power for a welder to my garage, I ran a telephone in the same ditch a few years back. Turned it into a ethernet line to the router...
I bought the cam from buy.com. Its a Foscam and after reading about foscam from there site, they said the cameras on amazon and ebay are most likely copies and not actually foscam. Therefore not warrented. Buy.com had the best overall price. $103 total. Took a little figuring out. But after...
My live chicken cam been online for a few days now. Still working out some bugs. But I think I'm on the down word path now. Now, I I can only find an IP cam driver that will stream with audio. Still looking. But still cool to watch even with no sound.
This cam is just temporary untill the wifi cam comes in the mail on thursday. What i'm using now in my android phone on my wifi network. My ip cam I will be able to pan and tilt from my phone or computer. Very easy to install. Just need a wifi network and a wifi camera. Oh yea, and a broadband...
