A couple years ago, during our trip to Myrtle Beach, we adopted a collection of hermit crabs for the kids. As these things happen, they became the pets of the wife instead, and over time, various things were added, including at one point a streaming webcam with the intent to record and review their nightly activities. Unfortunately, this never really worked out – the software to stream and record wasn’t very stable, and the interest in watching hermit crabs faded.
The hermit crabs are still going strong, but I have re-tasked the camera for other efforts instead. Right now, it is showing a live stream of my house exterior, specifically focused on the weather and one of our backyard trees. Except for the window screen (which shows up remarkable well), the video is decent, if rather dull.
But, if anyone is interested in viewing the current weather, or watching a tree grow, here you go…

If you have other suggestions on a use for the camera, post some feedback and let me know.
