watching printers from home with internet camera

[ddarlak]

I bought some internet camera's years ago to watch my printers from home. I was unsuccessful trying to set them up until now.

the activeX doesn't work, use the java to stream video.

at one point i had my cnc router hooked up in my warehouse and could watch it via remote camera from my laptop and i would have someone load a new sheet on the table and i could send whatever job i needed to the table in a period where i didn't have anyone trained to run the machine. it was a very archaic setup compared to today's technology.

i've got one client running a router with a self loader remotely and countless clients running printers from their phones..it can be a great tool to increase productivity and quality of life not having to watch a printer run.

Cool. You'll have to hire a hot chick to handle your printing if you want me to return to your site, however.

good for you! I've thought about this many times but never got around to trying it out.

the manual to set it up was a joke, every time i searced the internet all i found was people asking the same question i was. finally someone came back to a forum and posted what they had done to solve the problem. it's great when someone takes the time to go back and let everyone know what worked for them.

all i had to do was set the gateway on my camera to the same as the router's IP address for anyone else who may be having problems...

now i can spend more time at home with my kids!

You need to load the next job, it's sitting still. Time is money, chop chop, get a move on, hurry up every chance you get, what are you waiting for, and all those other wonderful motivations sayings we all love to hear

I will give you my web cam address so you can watch me write your check. Then watch me cash it and keep the cash too.
