Hi there,
I am currently assembling a barn / foaling camera system for BBF Suzie-Q's 6/22 predicted foaling. Don't want to spend a whole lot because it's quite possibly the only foaling I'll be doing for quite a while, maybe the last (that's what I said last time though in 2008
).
I have a camera which is an old 80's over-the-shoulder VHS camcorder (remember these?
) that I used for watching a mare years ago. It takes great video even in low light and can power a long length of cable ran from the barn to the house.
Last time I just watched the camera myself on a TV in the bedroom and was lucky enough to still be half awake to see her go into labor. This time, I'd like to go "high tech" and stream it to the internet.
I have an old VCR to convert the channel 3 RF signal input to composite output (yellow video / white audio RCA cables).
So now I need to:
1) Get the RCA video and audio into the PC, using some sort of video capture device
2) Stream to the internet where myself and friends can remotely watch it
3) Maybe join a marestare group or service
Any advice on what video capture device you use, what software and services you use to stream to the internet would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Daryl
