Parrot Webcam

Postby Banksie » Wed Jun 09, 2010 4:21 am

As a bit of an experiment I set up a webcam so I could keep an eye on my sennie, Monkey. It's failed miserably as I can't view it from my work computer's browser (but, strangely, it works on my phone!) but if you want to have a look, go to:

http://90.219.63.67:8081

It only shows the top half of the cage so he can disappear from view but you should be able to see him messing about.

I've been watching him play with that most of the morning. He LOVES that toy normally. It did have some other bits on the bottom of it but he's chewed them off and it looks like he's managed to hook it over his perch - it should hang straight down....naughty Monkey.

He's SO naughty yet he makes up for it by coming over to me and giving kisses and cuddles. He really has me wrapped around his little parrot finger (well, toe)!

It's SO interesting to know what he gets up to in the day while I'm at work. Bless his heart. It just sucks that I can't connect to it from my PC here.

By the way, it looks a bit better if you hover on the image and improve the quality from the drop down menu that appears.

That's great! I'd love to set that up and watch my two just to see what they do when we are not there.

I'm pretty sure it would show Lucy chewing on her toys ... she can destroy a toy in a matter of a day.

It would probably show Jessie being goofy ... hanging upside down, swinging on his round perch.

It was really easy to set up. I am going to look for some better software as the image isn't the greatest but basically all I did was download some free software and open up some ports on my router. Then again, I probably won't bother leaving it up now as it doesn't work at work and I can't leave my phone connected to the internet all day.
