I use IP cameras with a squid server to handle the traffic. For just you to watch any IP camera should work assuming you have a home network already. You do have to do some port forwarding in your router.

Here is the cameras I have been using. http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ip-400...nce-ip-network-camera-with-night-vision-15974

This weeks hatch are starting to hatch..... These are the ones that were only a few days along when the tornado hit. They spent several full nights without power an the days were heated off a truck battery running a LG with a total of around 10 or 11 dozen eggs crammed in it. Still seem to be doing good an I still expect a good hatch.

Very cool, was wondering why the egg boxes are at such an angle? Great site indeed!!

I tilt the cartons both to make the eggs easier to see on camera an to put the eggs in a more natural position. (on there side)

Thanks so much for posting this. They are so cute! One doesn't look like he is doing too good though. Been flopping on his side since around 7pm.

I hope he makes it.
