vector Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 i just ordered two of these they just look too fucking cool. http://www.hsn.com/wowwee-rovio-wi-fi-enab...p;ccm=EC|ec0027 Quote
Sparda Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 When ever I see a camera that uses Ethernet for it's communication to computers I cringe for one reason mainly. Even though they are using a universal standard for the communication part, the manufacturers can and do stupid shit to brake there 'natural' computability with every OS. The most wildly used step in the wrong direction one is using a ActiveX controller for any thing. The most stupid thing they could do is require some crazy software to be installed to use it despite A not needing a driver for the camera and B the camera is running a web server any way. Quote

digip Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 bit expensive though. Would be a tad cheaper to go to radio shack, get a $20 rc car and mount a battery powered wifi camera to it, maybe something similar to this http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=1829304 Quote
wire Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Nice! Well let us know how it goes vector. We've been pestering the hak5 crew to get an internet-drivable robot in the hakhouse. Thinkgeek offers this geeky but even-more-pricey version: http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/rc/8698/ And this is going to require a bit more haktastic skills to enable internet control (like a controller board to close the right circuits on the remote control, and a video card to capture the camera) but it's cheap ... http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/rc/8698/ Quote
Seshan Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 bit expensive though. Would be a tad cheaper to go to radio shack, get a $20 rc car and mount a battery powered wifi camera to it, maybe something similar to this http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=1829304 It's controlled over wifi too, so it's not just buy a wifi camera and a $20 rc car. I've wanted one of these since before they where even available to buy, but I just don't have the money for one :( Quote
vector Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 bit expensive though. Would be a tad cheaper to go to radio shack, get a $20 rc car and mount a battery powered wifi camera to it, maybe something similar to this http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=1829304 yeah see ive been there done that already, but the specs on these are far better than any of my DIY cam cars or any that ive seen. these can operate autonomously, return to their charging stations on their own, you can log in from any web enabled device and control and or view the camera remotely, among other thing. they are pretty dope. heres a short little clip of some video i shot with one of them at an outdoor mall. http://la.gg/v/cam_car_outdoor_mall.asf Quote
vector Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 apparently you can only post so many picture links in a single post. Quote
digip Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I block la.gg in my hosts file as it comes up as a spyware site on my pc, so I can't see any of the images anyway..lol Quote
