DevHouse Webcam!

Move it around, watch us setup DevHouse!

Page will not be the same after devhouse starts.

 

Purpose:

  • prevent people from "fighting" over the pan-tilt camera
  • allow people to see webcam images from the internet without taking a hit on bandwidth at the event (single low bandwidth stream of uploading images)

**I've got some colo'd machines we could use to offload some images or video. --jonathan lassoff

  • create cool time-lapse video of the event

 

****Pan-Tilt Project: ideas...

  • Pan camera to pre-defined locations and snap a picture
  • Cycle through pre-defined locations taking pictures at each one
  • String photos from each fixed location together to show low frame rate video
  • View one of several streams as if it were a fixed camera
  • String locations together to make an out-of-sync video panorama
  • Push panorama to colo server for off site hosting (save bandwidth @ devhouse)
  • colo server creates string of panoramas and breaks panorama into individual images for single location viewing.
  • wiki links directly to colo hosted webcam stream for high volume live viewing of devhouse camera(s)
  • Come up with creative ways to view 8 spherical snapshots from one camera


 

Hardware: Panasonic KX-HCM270

  • 60 degrees pan left and right
  • 60 degrees down
  • 3 degrees up
  • 8 pre-defined target image locations (selectable via url request)
  • mjpeg viewable from camera itself. (ideas for offsite hosting of mjpeg?)

 


 

Hardware: Intel Pro Video PC Camera (CS431)

 

  • Can be used to point at a stationary object (i.e. entrance to house)
