Need a camera for remote monitoring

[iconicjamie 0]

Hi guys

I'm lookin for a camera I can set up so I can monitor the progress of prints remotely. Any advice? What do you use?

I'd recommend a cheap USB cam and a Raspberry Pi with OctoPrint:

You can do it http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/4912-ip-camera-to-keep-a-remote-eye-on-your-ultimaker/ if you have an old smartphone laying around.

I'm using this D-link ipcam and it work like a charm.

I use my old laptop computer, having a camera, and run Skype on it, with an extra Skype account just for that purpose and set up to accept a call without asking. That's all - very easy, works from anywhere.

The first thing I did was put a cheap wifi network cam that I had available. X10 runs sales on these all the time.
