The webcam may not be on all the time (it crashes sometimes, and doesn’t auto-restart) - but if it’s working, you should see a live video-feed in the window below. It’s a cctv b&w infra-red camera, connected via my video to the pc’s tv tuner/capture card. Faces out across the back garden to provide night-time vision (hopefully) when Webcam 1 is finding it too dark to see. If all you can see is glare, then it’s because currently it’s sat inside the window, instead of where it should be, outside, and the IR leds are reflecting in the glass...
It *is* fairly bandwidth intensive, so click the link to the left for a ‘Lo-fi’ version - timed ftp upload. If you only see a blank box, then the cam is offline, OR you’re behind a firewall that is blocking the ports needed for it to work - the timestamp on the lo-fi version will give you a clue which one’s the problem.
