A camera in our living room and kitchen, a cable connection, a little software and what do you get? A family's home on the Web! Welcome to our living room. The house and our family have been on the Internet since 1995! Back then, having a continuous connection was a rarity. These days, it's no big thing.
We are usually around in the evening (Pacific Standard Time). Send us email livingroomcam@misterblue.com and enjoy relaxing at our house.
Our house has been on the internet over 22 years. We started with an ISDN connection, went to DSL and now have a cable connection. These days anyone one can do this but long ago I had to write my own video capture software and know the phone number of the local phone company tech. A pictorial description of how the hardware is put together these days is on the How It Is Done page.
Many years ago we started leaving a light on at night so the people on the other side of the planet have something to look at besides black. One image an hour is all collected so you can see the last 24 hours .
Our living room has been Christmas Cam for a bunch of years. If you don't believe in Santa Claus, we caught Santa back in 1995 (he must not have known to check for cameras yet). Check out Santa Claus putting presents around the tree and drinking the milk left out for him. We have not caught him again -- I think you can only fool the Santa guy once.

NOTE TO THE CRIMINALLY INCLINED: our house has an alarm (door and window sensors and motion detectors) and we live in a small town whose cops actually show up in five minutes. So, save us both a lot of trouble, and don't even bother.
