The Pond Cam is a waterproof, B&W/Color IR CCD Camera submerged in our little Fish Pond. The camera was installed 4/21/01. The composite video is run through a Snappy 3.0 on the second Parallel Port of the old Pentium 60. My daughter thought the water was too cold yet, so she removed all the Goldfish and put them back in the tank inside the house. She missed one though and no one new till we saw him on one of the snaps at night.
Managed to catch him on 4/26/02. Now the camera is out of the water and just scanning the surface to see who drinks the water! When it warms up some, the fish and the camera will go back in.

The BackYard Cam is
in the basement window overlooking the barn & backyard. Look
for chickens, squirrels, and a cat or two. The picture is from an
MDC800 Digital Camera whose composite video is run through a
Snappy 3.0 video capture device running on a old, reliable,
dedicated (this is all it does), Pentium 60 hooked into the home
network.

The Bird Cam is
in the basement window. The picture is from a Sony Hi8 CamCorder (from Ebay) whose

Before Noon, you can see Nut Hatches, Chickadees, and Tufted
Titmice feeding.
