Streaming images for 2005 New Years Around the World

Streaming Links

Last year, When they found out about the party, my friends at work suggested that I should take some of the spare IP cameras home and put them around the house.  I did that. I asked again this year and have put them up again, same places as last year:

One is in the Living Room, a second in the Kitchen and the third is in the Basement.
If you can't be here, join us to celebrate remotely in any time zone...

The Guest Book is now working, please sign in and your name will show up for the next time zone that you join us for. Please keep in mind, you will need to sign-in for every time zone so we have both a picture and a guest book of everyone who celebrates.

From what I've been able to determine, these seem to only work with Internet Explorer. When you first connect, you will
be asked to install the DLINK MPEG4 plugin. Go ahead - it's safe and secure.
FYI - No other browser I've tried attempts to download the plugin. But, you can always try...

Each camera can support up to 10 connections. When you connect, you will be asked to login. Type demo for the username - leave the password blank. After you login, you may get some messages about not being to connect via various types (UPD/TCP), this should be okay.  I've added the audio support for the cameras this year so you should be able to hear us as well as see us if your connection will allow it. (The upper left corner of the video window will say "HTTP-V" - video only, "UDP-AV" - audio and video, or "TCP-AV" - audio and video.) From what I've found, some firewall or VPN software will only allow the "HTTP-V" connection.

The way things have always worked in the past is that for the 'early zones' we celebrate in the Kitchen. Once the party gets going (5 or 6 people), we will move to the Living Room.
During the day, you may catch just about anyone in the Basement...including the cats!!

All of the cameras are now offline...Until next year????

NOTE: When you choose the "From Internet in new window" option, a new window for the streaming image will open. If you choose that camera again, the streaming image will go to that same window which may be below the current window or iconized.
