Experimental- Back on... try it!

[Mel]

ok guys... you're now our little guinea piglets...

We have achieved getting my underwater TroutCam live online for the first time but it's temporary! The way you view it is alittle complicated but it's the best we can do without a couple more pieces of equipment.

It's going to be online for just a few hours today, then offline while we reinstall some cat5 line for our computers here at the resort (wireless just isn't doing the trick).

So bare with us.

Here's how you view the TroutCam-

Find Windows Media Player. If you don't have it, you can go to http://microsoft.com and download it. To find it, go to Start/All Programs/Accessories/Entertainment/Windows Media Player.

Go to File/Open url

In the box type (copy paste) http://208.180.97.140:1200

It will take a bit to buffer and load. You should see the picture. Note- there is a small light in the camera itself so the image will darken the later in the day we go. At night, the camera will be turned off.

Let us know what you see and think. I will be able to tell how many are viewing and the bandwidth used. That's what we're interested in seeing.

I enjoy it and after showing to family members they thought it was great too! I must admitt I am having trouble finding my way around this site. Finally had a young one show me the way to reply. Sure hope this works out, it can raise your fishing fever a notch or two. One of my questions was answered in a post; located at cleaning shed. Which way is camera pointing and how deep is it?
