turtle cam (local)

[mudboy dave]

one of my dads buddies lives on a lake in burlington county and loves watching the turtles on this log when they sunbathe, so together they decided to setup a web cam near by, they are still working out some flukes but soon you will be able to watch the turtles 24-7. here are some still shots. They aren't the best quality since they are just frames. once the live shot comes up i will post a link.

Mudboy, do you know what kind of camera he is using for that? I would like to adapt a camera like that for watching certain areas for illegal activities.
Thanks for any help.

Both cams a great idea. What kind of turtles are these?

Those are red belly turtles. Probably the most common turtle in the pinebarrens. Large and aquatic.

Pretty cool webcam. As I launched the site, a big red belly climbed on to the log. I did have to tweak my IE's Active X settings to allow it to work first though.

It requires IE 5.0 or better, so I can't view it on my Mac. I tried Safari and Firefox and they won't work.

unfortunatley it wont work on Mac. however they are getting ready to switch it over to Ustream which should work for anyone. sorry to hear this.

Thanks, Jeff.
I'm looking forward to watching them--but I'll have to wait until it works with Firefox.

hmm doesn't work for me either, even after installing the active x control

 

[mudboy dave]

well I'll let everyone know when it goes to ustream. should be within the next week. once again sorry. it probably has something to do with the secuity settings on the PC.

 

[mudboy dave]

up and going on ustream. should work for everyone.

It would be cool to set up a camera like this somewhere in the deep woods. It wouldn't be as active, but who knows what might show up.

Jeff

On the other hand, it would compromise the solitude of the area it was set up. yeah, maybe that is a bad idea.
