Hi Everyone,
I know there are lots of threads about webcams and which are the best. For 15+ years I have been using Axis cameras. I think they are one of the best webcams out there.
They come with a high price, but they are broadcast quality with a built in webserver. I just got the newest release and wanted to get some thoughts from those accessing it across the web, because that can be a very different experience than accessing it from my home. Both cameras are full PTZ, so you should be able to move the camera to chase the fish of your choice around the tank. The original camera has a 20x Optical Zoom the new camera is a 30x Optical Zoom.
The original webcam is an Axis V5915, if the image stalls on you after 15 seconds goto the gear in the bottom right corner of the screen, click on that and choose MJPEG instead of H264.
The link to the original webcam is o2manyfish.com
The new camera is an Axis V5925, this has better Auto White balance compensation and from my testing a working H264 Codec which should mean better quality and smoother video.
The link for the new camera is o2manyfish New
I'm curious if people are seeing a difference in picture quality, smoothness of the video, responsiveness to the PTZ commands and a better look at the tank with the updated Auto White Balance correction. Please check both the h264 and MJPEG Codec on the new camera.
So far I have only played with the camera using Chrome.
The lights are on starting at 4pm on weekdays and 11am on weekends - there is about a 90 minute rampup that is very blue before getting to a much whiter setting. The lights are 12 Radion G6 Pro XR30's.
Tank is 750g - 10x4x2.5. There are about 130 fish in the tank.
Thanks for taking a few mins to look at the webcams and let me know what differences you see. I apologize for the mess around the tank but we are putting new floors in our house this month and we have crap everywhere.
Thanks
Dave B
