Actually, its been so for about ten days now, fed to every TV in the school via in-house cable.

What has been working best for us is an older color camera with no UV lights hence no night vision. its 200 mA transformer though seems to handle being broadcast through the school better than the later crop of 150 mA powered day/night visions cameras.

This year we have it mounted on a Supergourd lid, and the colors of the adults with the sunlight shining in from the side has been astounding.

Here's couple of pics, though our digital does not pick up the image quality of the TV screen very well.

Scully,

What a wonderful education you are providing these students! Teaching them to care about nature and wildlife will be one of the most valuable lessons they learn.

I applaud you, Scully! 8) You are doing a great service to the PMs by educating the next generation of landlords. May God bless you abundantly!

Hey Scully,
I had a couple of teachers like you! Wow! What a difference you guys made in my life. -- Mr. McQueen. He was my 9th grade history teacher. He would start each class with the book then go off on rabbit trails that led us to "REAL LIFE". I learned so much in that class. Keep up the good work!
What subject/grades do you teach?

Thanks for the kind words folks 8)

Spreading martineering is sorta like being a missionary, one labors on and gets a convert now and them... :???:

I will say that in the age of the Discovery Channel many folks are less impresed by such things as nest cams than they would have been at one time. Now we take extraordinary footage for granted.

Going online with the nest cam is not feasible at this time, issues of band width and district policy.
