Streaming ReefCam Costs?

Keana,

Our service is through Telus.

WWWD,

I'm thinking live stream at this point, though the cam won't run 24/7, only during the 12 hours the tank is lit.

FinchCam ran only during the 12 hours the aviary was lit. But that was years ago, before streaming video became so accessible. A new image was uploaded to the server every 30 or 60 sec., though I can't remember which one. The page was automatically updated with each new image. FinchCam became very popular. Our isp complained that we were using too much bandwidth, so we had to change the page to manual refresh to cut down on people leaving the cam running all day on their computers.

Of course, the streaming reefcam idea is just in the "what if" stages right now.
