Gaelyne's Webcam Info
Click HERE to Return to the Webcams
The following NOTES have been updated on 15 July 2007
- The webcam page is more dynamic and uses Ajax to refresh only the images and date, time & temperature. To avoid situations where someone leaves their browser on the page and forgets about it, after ten minutes, the webcam page will time out and come to this page.
- The top left image (Cam #1) is from our office at VCSWEB, and usually has Gaelyne sitting at the computer.
- The top right (Cam #4) is a 'fly's' view of our office showing only the working half of the room. The other half is a lounge area. The camera is mounted on the top of a bookcase.
- The bottom right (Cam #3) is our Doorcam. You'll see our car and maybe a person coming to the door now and then.
- All images are updated every 5 seconds.
- If we are offline (our servers are always online but our own personal computers are not always online), you will now see a 'webcam currently offline' image.

- [WAY Cool] South Australia police cams These cameras include Adelaide city areas, Glenelg, Heneley Beach and other areas. You can move the cameras around and wow, it's pretty cool. Here's another from the same site: Flower Shop
- Video for Linux Resources. LOTS of interesting stuff here, and it's where I found what we are currently using for both our cameras.
- Motion. This is the software we're using for both cameras. It has many features and seems more robust than what we had previously. For instance the camera pictures don't lag so far behind. It has a 'webcam' option, but I've found the 'lastsnap' options to be just fine for our purpose. The door cam still has motion detection - a dog barks when motion is detected, and an mpeg movie of the event is captured. All with the same software while having two camera's connected to the TV card. (Cool!)
- Linux: xawtv Homepage. When I watch TV using the card, this is the software that I use.
