Also typically you can only watch the video from that computer. Unfortunately the camera has to remain indoors and close to the computer (maximum length of a USB cable is 5 meters). These cameras are generally used for video conferencing and video instant messaging, but instead of pointing the camera at you, just point it out the window. The easiest (and cheapest) solution is to buy a web camera and attach it directly to your computer using a USB cable. There are various solutions depending on your budget and just exactly what you are trying to accomplish. (You’ll see why if you can wade all the way through.) Therefore, this post is written by my IT Guy – who deserves a big round of internet hand-clapping from everyone.
I honestly have no clue how it all works, and I get all woozy when Steve tries to explain it to me, so the details have yet to sink in.

My chicken ip address how to#
I often get queries asking for advice on how to set up a system like The HenCam, after all, doesn’t everyone want to be able to keep an eye on their chickens when away, and share the fun of their animals with others? However our system is not easy to replicate – it’s technically challenging (I know because my IT Guy/husband is frequently working on it), nor is it inexpensive to run.
