Stream seems to be sort of working at least for me. Let me know if it isn’t working for you.
Currently in the Tower System Fish tank I have small Bluegill. The Big Tank Has Channel Catfish. Sorry the Big tank camera has gone rather blurry.
Here is some video footage I took. Still searching for some way to get a composite video signal onto the internet automatically without my needing to be here to convert it into a video then upload it.

Apparently I will need other gear to get a nice smooth live stream online of my fish cam. If you wish to help please donate to the fund so I can afford some live garden web cameras for the aquaponic lynx fish tanks.
Hi TC,
Great job … you are a one woman dynamo!
Denise
great job I want one
Cool cool! I can’t wait till mine are that size…
Love it.
Could be catfish webcam, could be loch ness monster documentary footage.
But definitely delicious
Thanks!
Yea, unfortunately I’ve found that I have to remove the camera and take it apart to clean it out regularly to keep the image clear. I have yet to find a good long term underwater camera or some housing that will work with the regular LED day/night cameras.
I love the fish cam….

Hola,
You’d need to convert the composite video to support RTP. I haven’t done much research into composite video, but I’m certain there is a USB converter or even wireless USB hub to plug the composite video into and then stream it to your local machine. I’d personally say get rid of composite video, it’s old and bad news. USB 3.0 or something similar is much better.

Yea, I know the fish cam needs work. I just haven’t had the budget to buy any new stuff for the cameras or video stuff lately (seeing as both underwater cameras can’t stay underwater more than a few days at a time either.) And haven’t really had the time to devote to searching for more stuff to buy to try to upgrade lately anyway. This is on hold for now while bigger priorities are dealt with. I will plan to install a camera plumbing fitting near the bottoms of any tanks I drain and re-fill though so maybe I’ll be able to install cameras that can see into the tanks without worrying about water tight cameras. Then maybe it will be worth getting a better stream going.
