We are now broadcasting live video of our cat live on the net! :D

Come and take a look :
Cat-Cam (http://192.117.117.172/cgi-bin/wcs/links/skin.cgi?ID=447&PAGE=index.html)

At the moment Kfitzi is sleeping there... not much action...

We will keep this going when we go on vacation so we can see them (if they will be in the room of course...) cool idea right? Till then I can watch them at work!:D

No matter what I click, or where, I just get a test pattern. What am I doing wrong?

Sara, I had that at first too, had to wait for a while when I went to see it at the first time....

we are now playing with the program, so you might not be able to see it now...

Lachesis - we are using a program from an Israeli service for web cams, and we pay for the service.... I'm sure there are services like that all around. I have no idea if you can do it alone.

I like this idea! I had a friend in college that had a web cam set up, so I could see if he was at his computer at any given time of the day! LOL LOL Usually if you get a web cam, it will come with the software to let you put it online:)

Look at this cutie sleeeeeeeepin'!! LOL

The camera does come with some software, and we used to talk to Ilan's brother in the state using Netmeeting or stuff like that, but This service stays online and on the same link as long as we are online... it's only 10$ a months, I think it worth it

Ok, who's upside down? :rolleyes:

This is so cool. :D

Lachesis - do you ever get "pop-up" advertising while on the net for an X-10 camera? From what I understand, that's what you want for this. Next time it pops up check it out. I get them all the time. I only know about this because of work. One of our customers wanted them installed (in a nursing home) but then couldn't do it for some reason, so we have a ton of them laying around here. I've never installed one though, or worked with one so I don't know anymore about them.

Efrat - this is the neatest way in the world to keep from missing your babies while you're on vacation. Now if there was only sound involved, you could talk to them too so they don't miss you too bad. :)

We went to the kichen to have some dinner and everyone came with us... Now Ilan will sit here probably and hopefully the cats will come too... I'm going to take a shower ...

:( :( **pout** At home I get an error message and at work my computer crashes while loading. I'll try it again when I get home. Maybe I was too impatient. It sounds neat, and I think your cats are adorable...

I have a camera :D Im just not sure how to set it up... ;) This is just too cool...

Phooey! It crashed me too! And I'm out of here this afternoon for vacation. I just love those kitties and want to see them.

mad: :mad: :mad:

Every time I try I get the black screen (and I have to restart.)

I am beginning to think the same thing.... Well, you know cats, 'The more expensive the Toy, The less inclined they are to play with it.' ;) Great Bean Bag though, Efrat! I wouldn't let Gucci & The Brits read the post Big Trouble in Little Kitty town... They might start the next Frat Party!;) :D

AmberLee

04-10-2002, 02:25 AM

:D :D :D We have achieved CAT! I was looking at a beanbag chair? and a cat toy and suddenly, there was a good-looking gray cat on my screen.

Cool! :cool:

Efrat

I can't see anything! :( :( :(
I'm at work, and all I get is a black screen now... :rolleyes:
Maybe it's only my connection here... :mad:
I'll try to play with it!

I think it's Kfitzi anyway - jumping around back and forth onto the beanbag, over the neutron toy. back over....how fun!

lynnestankard

04-10-2002, 05:39 AM

I've just seen Kfitzi!!! Sooo excited!!!!

Getting carried away with myself there for a moment - but how great is that Efrat - the best :D
I'll be in and out of your lounge all day now!!

I was home for lunch, Kfitzi and Milki were both playing there when I arrived, and Kfitzi was sleeping there when I left...

I can't watch it here at work... will try to talk to the company who provides the service to see if they can tell me how to fix it...:rolleyes:

Yesterday, I could see the empty couch, but today, I just get the frontpage (I think) of the site. Are you in the process of changing something?

A great idea, though! ;) At Cambridge university, they had a webcam in the kitchen, so people could see if there was any coffee left in the machine. :D How lazy can you get??

Efrat

04-10-2002, 09:13 AM

it's working now... and Kfizi and milki are here...

What a wonderful idea. Kitty was looking out of the window this morning. Thank you for sharing!

WOOO HOOO! I saw Gucci's Kitty Butt. Isaw Gucci's Kit-TY BUTT!;) :D Great cam Efrat! We have it bookmarked and check-in often throughout our day!

yumyum6970

04-10-2002, 10:20 AM

I see both of them looking out the window now!! :)

This is so cool Efrat. Wish I had one so I could watch my kitties during the day. :D

Hope you are where it is safe..they are talking alot about Israel on the news here :(

Just seen Gucci peering out of the window - he keeps looking round at the camera as if to say 'Why are you all looking at me?!!' LOL.:D

Efrat,

I enjoyed the kitty cam so much I not only bookmarked it, I'm gonna tell my husband about it so he can check up on the kitties too! Like yumyum, I hope that where you live is far removed from all of the trouble...
