I like it!

Still wanting to set up a 24/7 cam on a hive in my yard. Got to find time to run power out to them.

Where can we find your camera feed for the swarm trap?

I have satellite internet and if I go over my usage my internet slows down so I cant give out the live feed address.

I do run it 24-7 just not sure if 1 person watching it uses the same as 50 watching it. Anyone know for sure?

if a swarm moves in I will definitely put that video up...

That's great! I have a camera that I thought about setting up on the hives to watch them during the day. It's not for sharing over the internet unfortunately. I'm glad someone is actually doing it.

It's not swarm season here yet got another few weeks...just have it out so the scout bees know it's there...

Please only peek in for a few minutes and don't leave it on longer than 10 minutes or so...I'm not sure if 50 people can watch and it uses the same bandwith as 1 person...and I have a limit on my Sateliette Internet...

50 people use 50 times the band with as 1 person do. You could stream it to ustream or something similar and then have people watch it from there.

I started to look in but it was going slow so I thought maybe someone else might have been looking abd backed out.. I'll wait for the vid as well.  Awesome idea!
