New "Aquarium" Toy....

[CheezWiz]

I picked up one of those fancy D-Link robotic cameras, so I can keep an eye
on the guys when I am away..
(Great excuse for a new toy since my wife worries about them as much as I
do..)

Right now it is watching my Quarantine Tank. One of my clowns became sick
but is on his way to a great recovery.
Also in this tank are some snails to clean up the place and my Lettuce
Nudibrach (Slug) who had his guts sucked out about a month ago by the
overflow.. He too is recovering... Amazing considering he went from 4 inches
to about 1 inch after loosing his guts.. He is back up to nearly two.. I am
guessing that they can regenerate their internal organs..???

If anyone would like to check it out:

NICE!! I recently installed a wireless network so I might check one of
these out too...

Thats a pretty sweet camera, wish I had the $ to set one up next to mine. Good
frame rate etc, nice features. You might see more details of the fish if it
was a little bit closer.

Also, to remedy those IP changes, go to dyndns.org to get a free hostname. I
assume you have a wireless router, most of the major brands are supported by
this service ( vice versa rather). You just put it in your router's settings
and everytime you lose connection, reboot, etc, it updates your IP at dyndns.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Actually, a major trait among sea slugs and especially sea cucumbers is the
ability to regenerate their organs. If I'm not mistaken, the sea cucumber's
common defense is to extract their organs in the hope to ward off or "feed"
a potential predator. Then they just grow back new ones.

If that's the case, that is freaking amazing...!
I have been looking for some detail on these guys, but it just seems there
is little interest in them.

The "demo" account does not need a password to view. However, it cannot move
the camera..

Actually,

I use another solution to IP changes. It is a freeware program called
"KeepMePosted" that monitors the DSL modem for IP changes and then uploads
the changes to a secure web site I have..

The camera is running at 10 frames per second over wireless with 64 bit
encryption. On a local lan it can do 30 frames per second with sound. I plan
to use these in conjunction with a security system.... When I get a
house....
The software from D-Link can do motion activation and monitor 16 cameras at
a time......

This one is networked to a D-Link Xtreme router so the camera can get
22Mbps...
I am sure 11 Mbps would be fine for the frame rate I am currently using of
10 FPS...

Oh yeah... Also, I wonder how many aquarists flush the little guys assuming
they are dead...??

Good question.
In the ocean, a sea cucumber's entrails isn't so toxic considering the water
volume. How's that saying go? The solution to pollution is dillution? =)
However, in the confined space of a tank, even a big one, it may be toxic
enough to wipe out a system. Once the aquarist sees everything else dying,
they probably do assume the cucumber is dead as well.

Yeap. Beside toxic release. Also, slug or cucumber alike have tend to go
into intake like - powerpump / filter and PVC input. Using grille may not
help.
