<P>A camera looking at our living room, an ISDN line, a capture
board, a light-weight HTTP server and what do you get? A family's
home on the Web!</P>
<P>Welcome to our living room. People seem to show up in the evening.
Send us email and enjoy relaxing at our house.</P>
<P>The image is updated about once a minute. I've started leaving a
light on at night so the people on the other side of the planet have
something to look at besides black.</P>
<P>Our living room has been <FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Christmas</FONT>
<FONT COLOR="#40FF00">Cam</FONT> for two years. You can check out
ChristmasCam 1995 and ChristmasCam 1996 pages. In 1995, we even
caught Santa Claus (video, about 600K) .<BR clear=ALL>
</P>
<P>People have been complaining that they don't ever see anyone in
our living room. So, I have captured some videos of activity in the
living room. The first two AVIs were created by adding a frame to the
file when "activity" is noticed. So they aren't "time lapse". They
are more "dead time compressed". (I've recently changed these links
to point to my FTP server. Email me if you have any problems.)</P>

<P>Our family's normal home is on Teleport. Check out The Adams Page
and especially the Adams Trip Around America.</P>
<P>If you can't get these images and files, either my home machine is
turned off or the kids are playing a DOS game -- all the fun games
don't run under Win95.</P>
<P>The hardware and software that makes this work.</P>

INCLINED:</FONT></B><FONT SIZE="-2"> our house has an alarm (door and
window sensors and motion detectors) and we live in a small town
whose cops actually show up in five minutes. So, save us both a lot
of trouble, and don't even bother. </FONT><BR clear=ALL>
