Solar Powered Wireless Web Security Camera

I’m a very interesting sort of geek: I stream my movies from Netflix to my computer (which outputs to my big-screen HDTV and 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound), and I raise a small flock of chickens in my back yard.

The chicken coop is located in the far corner of my backyard and doesn’t currently have power to it. That’s not really a problem now, but it will be come this winter when I’ll need keep the water bowl from freezing, run a lamp for artificial light so the birds keep laying in the winter, and possibly run a heating lamp.

In addition to the “necessities” I want to install a wireless netcam back there so I can check on the flock without getting my feet cold.

Lucky for me, Jake Ludington has a tutorial on the second half of the setup for me over at his website.

He’s even got a nice YouTube video set up for us, take a look:

Thanks, Jake!
