This web page uses client pull (META REFRESH tag) to automatically reload this
web page every fifteen seconds (don't bother trying to go faster, the pictures
don't come any faster than that). If your browser doesn't even support
this, just reload every 15 seconds or so (your browser may have a special way
of reloading that also reloads images, e.g. older Netscapes used
to use Shift-Reload).
You probably got here from the
server push version of the web page, which
is the "default".
Yes,
I did in fact put on the web one of the earliest
web cameras ever. I can document the software as early as May 1994, although
I'm pretty sure I got things working over the winter before that. I
can't remember if my inspiration was that someone else put a camera
on the web, or that someone else had a camera on the Mbone
in their office. (Mbone is the Multicast backbone, which provides
for efficient simoultaneous transmission of video and audio). If you happen
to know of any very early cameras and dates, let me know,
.
The Coffee Pot Cam claims to have been on the Internet in 1993, so that
probably predates my camera. The WearCam proabably came online at a similar
time to my camera.
I actually put two cameras on the web at the same time (because we had two), one in my office, which I pointed out of the window, and one in Frank's office. Frank worked "for me" at the time. He's apparently less inhibited, and aimed his camera at his desk. It wasn't long before he was stalked. (The stalker says 1995, I don't recall having the cameras online for such an extended period of time, but its possible. Or its possible he got his date wrong. I got my dates from files on a backup tape). I'm the "third guy" in the series of photos.
There was also a very unfortunate picture of me captured from Frank's camera.
It is located in my office, but points past my LCD monitory at the door, and the mail slots of several people.
