Welcome to the reincarnation of the TridejaCam!
My web cam has been in service off and on for about 10 years, and has been offline for the last few. Since I moved to Regina, I thought it would be fun to get it back into action so people can see what crazy weather we're getting here in Regina, Saskatchewan.
The camera is pretty unique as it is a completely self contaned server, running a version of the linux kernel, a web server, and flash disk for the operating system storage. It has a dedicated processor that handles the 100Mbps network connection, and high speed JPEG compression.
The camera also has a serial port, which I used in years past to provide webcam updates to the internet via my mobile phone with no computer in between. Of course, everyone can do this now with camera phones! |
