Darren Kitchen Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 We're shooting today and thought it might be fun to beta test the hakcam. It's currently pointed at the set and if things go smoothly we'll make it a permanent fixture. Right now it's a laptop and logitech orbital webcam running xp and dorgem, with a refresh of 5 SPF and a page with a meta refresh of 5 secs. If you've got suggestions for better solutions post em here. Anyway, the webcam can be found here: http://www.hak5.org/hakcam/ Or, hehehe, looky looky: Gotta love that trick Feedback would be great.

Garda Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 um, can we get like someone in the picture doing something. cos like webcams aren't as interesting when there's nothing happening Quote
armadaender Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Cool, what time will recording start today? Quote
Darren Kitchen Posted September 30, 2006 Author Posted September 30, 2006 It'll go on throughout the day. thats the best I can give ya. we've got a guest coming on for a segment at 1:00 PM Eastern. Not sure if you know how we shoot but it's a pretty loose process. Oh, and there's nobody on the cam because my butt hasnt left my desk. Speaking of which, that set looks horrid. I should clean up before the guest arrives. Quote

RobotChild Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 That's pretty cool. First thing I saw, was (It looked this at least) Wess groping himself. Shoulda took a screencap, it was pretty strange. Quote

Sparda Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 I'v been watching it most of the day, I wonder what there bandwidth bill will be like this month Quote

armadaender Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 18.24 KB (approximently) per picture, every five seconds for a minute would equal 218.88 KB a minute/13,132.8 MB an hour, per person. Assuming that about 10 people have the feed open, that's 131,328 MB an hour. And let's say we all watched/kept open the feed for four hours, we're looking at 656,640 MB total. Not too bad when considering the increadibly fast connection they pay for. And I have no idea why I just computed all of that. Maybe it's because I'm doing my statistics homework at the moment. I need a life/girlfriend/something. Quote
omega_ion Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 I'm watching this guy on the camera right now, and it seems like he's just going through a loop motions: lean on table, turn head, smile, look down, move hand, repeat... Quote

Thats what we call in the industry, television. ;) Quote
Jigga-Zula Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Is that clock in the background broken? Because I've checked in twice now, hours apart, and it's said 5:55 both times, I think, and I havn't been able to catch anyone on the camera yet. Or am I just getting the same frame refreshed over and over? Quote
a5an0 Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 I'm seeing the same thing. I wonder if my ISP is being lazy and caching. Or maybe Darren can actually stop time over on the Hak5 set Quote
rFayjW98ciLoNQLDZmFRKD Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 What is this? http://www.hak5.org/webcam/ Quote
