Any live cams out there???

I think I am going to setup a live stream of my tank to watch at work... SHH!!!!! I was wondering if anyone currently has one that could recommend software to do so. I have the camera and freeware, but I am always up for suggestions.

I'm running one through my slingbox. www.slingmedia.com which also means I can watch TV at work too... You can buy slingbox for around $200 at any Best Buy, Circuit City. Easy to set up. No subscription or service fees. Only downfall, only 1 person can be attached at a time.

Here's a screen shot, right now I'm just getting the tank going its a 56 Tall, FOWLR with a couple firefish, a orchid dottyback and a cleaner shrimp. The camera angle is looking from the side.

Nice. I have looked into the slingbox before. Pretty cool thing. But, I doubt my wife would accept that the $200 would be justifiable. So, I am going with the web cam/VPN solution.

I've had one for the last 5 years. You won't be able to see much until the main lights come on in an hour or so but here it is:









I'm using an iSight camera and EvoCam
