Just setting up a webcam and streaming the video would be no problem since both locations have a DSL connection, but he wants to be able to shutdown the country-side cumputer/modem/router if there's thunder etc, and have it start up x hours later. I thought of using an UPS unit to handle the power and run a program similar to [url=http://www.webcamxp.com]WebCam XP[/url] or [url=http://www.webcamsoft.com/]Watchdog[/url] to handle the video(s). But I've not found a feature which makes an UPS unit enable the power to whatever is connected after a set amount of time. Since the modem will be turned off too, any wake-up calls will be unheard... And the trip out there is too long to make just to flip on the power. If you guys have any experience of something similar, then please share it. /TwoD Loading...
