eriecam test

watch dad today while we test out some of our cameras for the walleye drop… this particular cam is an older model, so i’m stress testing it to see if it can handle the 5 second updates our scripts run on…

update — and here’s a second camera i’m testing, giving a more wide angle shot of the extreme mess…

the images update every 5-7 seconds, so refresh ‘er! any reports on broken or incomplete images, or significant lag, is much appreciated. the scripts grab an image, resize it using imagemagick, and upload it via ssh to three webservers at three different isp’s, and it -attempts- to do it all for each camera in under 5 seconds, so we’ll see how well it all works. i might need to step up to a 10-second refresh.

  1. If you want to cut down on some of your lag, you may want to get a fairly recent version of SSH and use the master/slave functionality. You basically set up an SSH session and leave it running then use a unix socket to talk to the already existing session. This ensures that you don’t have to go through the entire key negotiation process every time you want to transfer. See if your version has the -M and -S flags in it.
