Default Re: What did you and your Ham get for Christmas?

My best ham related gift came from daughter Dusty. It is a zmodo HD wireless camera. It does lots of things but it is the ability to keep an eye on your pet (amongst other things of course) from elsewhere that is going to be fun. Hubby used the MAC address to set it up. Then I downloaded the Zsight app onto my iPad and created an account. So far I have only given it a quick test. You don't need to have a computer on to use it. Just plug in to mains and point at cage. Picture comes up on tablet. If daylight it is in colour. If dark, the camera has its own infrared lights that come on and I can spy on Mocho who thinks it is dark and safe to come out and hamster around unseen. So I can watch him from upstairs when in bed!
The big test will come in Feb when I have to be away for one night for work. Then hubby will set up the camera at home and I will see if I can access it from 100 miles away!
