Popular Post IT_Ninja Posted March 9, 2016 Popular Post Posted March 9, 2016 Fancy watching and welcoming these hatchlings to the jungle... Live camera setup feed to watch the birth of a small army of cuteness. 2 down and 8 more to go Lady Margaret School, a CofE academy for girls aged 11-18, Parsons Green, London - Beyond the classroom More videos and highlights to follow. Good way to kick off Science week. 5
Tricky_Dicky Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 That's brilliant! Need to convince our teachers to get one of these setup.
kidpressingbuttons Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 The timing of this thread is incredible! We are currently looking at building a chicken coop onsite with indoor and outdoor live cameras. Mind sharing how you've achieved yours?
Arreks Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Stream's a lil' bit jumpy (just me?) but they are adorable and I want one.
listen2blacksabbath Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Would love to know the technical details on how you did this! great work!
FN-GM Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Stream's a lil' bit jumpy (just me?) Its like that here as well
IT_Ninja Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 Will add details later... IT-ing ATM. For now enjoy Las chickas and chickos
Arreks Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Are you waiting for them all to hatch out before moving them?
IT_Ninja Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 Yes sorry, they all hatched the same day save two of the eggs that thankfully hatched the following night. The eggs have an 80% hatch rate and so was a little worried they might not make it but now they have all hatched - yay full house!! They've all been moved into the brooder box. Feed has been updated...
IT_Ninja Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 Sorry for delayed reply ... Setup for live stream needed some equipment: IP camera (AXIS M1025 Network Camera). Software encoder - Cam Streamer (this costs 199eur - trial available but only allows for low resolution stream) Dedicated NAS drive - Camera recording over network to NAS drive. Plus internal storage card to record locally as required - motion detection, backup etc. Fairly contained solution but the camera struggles to currently stream at high quality (720p) and record at high quality (720p) hence the jumpy stream, can reduce the recording quality to compensate but not worth it as we want our own HQ video stream. Setup has been changed to stream using OBS on a computer to make the best of both worlds and produce a high quality stream and HQ recording. I know it kinda defies the point in having the IP camera but for now it resolves the jumpy issue. All in all a good project still some config required but for now yay adorable little fluff balls ... Any Q's just ask
IT_Ninja Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 Ours are hatched! godolphinandlatymer.tv Gorgeous fur-balls, we've sent ours home over the weekend - feed will resume Monday. Are yours staying or going cause they need to be tended to over the weekend?
seustice Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Gorgeous fur-balls, we've sent ours home over the weekend - feed will resume Monday. Are yours staying or going cause they need to be tended to over the weekend? Not sure, I think there's someone going to be on-site.
