I recently set-up a completely ridiculous guppy cam in my office. Web cam software has come a loooong way from when I first used it. From start to finish it literally took 15 minutes to get set-up (including the 5 minutes to purchase and register the shareware). It feeds the web server a new image every few minutes - for complete, up to date guppy excitement! I could stream video via the included Java applet, but that seemed a little too far over the top (even for me).

I used Active Webcam from PY Software which I found on Downloads.com. It cost $29 and seems to be extremely full featured. I can definitely vouch for its ease of use.

Anyway - wanna see the guppies?

Next up? Evidently it should be a new camera.
