Camera mounted in Cabinet

[tittiefish]

Anyone else have a cam in their cabinet? I had a web cam laying around that I wasn't using and my cabinet is in my office where my computer is so ran the cam inside my cab. Now I can monitor the plants with out opening the doors. I just switched to 12/12 so it came in handy to make sure my timer is working correctly. It's lights out so I'll post some pics of my setup tomorrow. I was just wondering if anyone else was using a cam in their cabinet?

It would be cool if you could make a time lapse video of them growing..

I have actually been looking for some good software to do time lapse. That was partially why I put it in there. I found this one called Flix but it's $10 and I want to try something free first. Anyone have any suggestions?

I couldn't manage to get a higher quality of image than this with a 150w HPS. Some super cropping in action. I can't remember the name of it, but I did find a free program that captured at programmed time intervals.

well its a damn good idea, but all that I can tell from the vids is that the fan you have in there is working, looks like a lot of rustling around. I would love to seem some time lapse...

So I found a free program called Perio for time lapse and I started running it today. I have it set to take a picture every hour and its set to 5 frames/sec. So that works out to a 144 second video of a 60 day flower cycle. 144 seconds seems perfect to me and so now we wait. Anyway Keep an eye on this thread an I will post the finished product around harvest. Oh and here's some pics of my modified Closet Maid 48x19.5x71 cabinet from Home Depot.

Tagged, cause I wanna see how that time lapse works out.

I've run a cam off and on, but it's currently off. What I'd rather do is set up video surveillance of the room and house, with alerts if there's movement in certain spots.

It's only been 3 days and I can already see growth.

I had a webcam hooked up in my cabinet streaming to uStream. Worked pretty good other than browser crashes.

I would never stream my grow live on the interwebs, way too much of a security risk, that's just asking for trouble. I just have a cam in there connected locally so I can monitor my plants without having to open my cabinet every time. Plus I can try out some time lapse stuff too. I work from home so it's nice to not have to stop what I'm doing to open the 6 latches/bolts that keep my cab closed just to look at the plants. I just open a window and there they are.
