Sadly you can't get YOPS trainees any more, so it'll have to be a tripwire.

Ho-fficially the max length for USB cable is 5m. Given luck and a following wind (and the fact that a webcam is fairly undemanding) you can probably use an extension cable or two, which have a little electronic "repeater" gizmo (powered by the voltage on the USB wires).

Even if you could, it would still be easier to train the hen.
det cord?
Owain
Right, thanks. I'll think about it.
I know - we use it quite a lot. Just down the road from us.
In fact they send me their e-newsletter at boringly frequent intervals. It's always full of bargains ... if only I wanted the things they're offering. Still, you never know.

Ah, YOPS, I was thinking about that the other day and wondering what had happened to it. Another scheme no doubt.
I'm wondering about radio control.

Call Bill Oddie - he'll probably get a TV series out of it.
Active cables are actually single-port hubs, so it's within spec to=20 daisy-chain 4 of them together (with a passive 5m cable at the end=20 giving a total length of 25m).

I wish I knew what you were talking about :-(
But thanks for trying, and it might have been useful to someone else.

By the time tv got round to it it would all be over and done with. The chicks will be out in less than a fortnight!
If there are any, with the daily (or nightly) interruptions.

The wires with the lumpy bit on the end will plug together to make a=20 longer wire with lumpy bits in the middle as long as you don't do it=20 lots.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
That makes much more sense :-)

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Mary Fisher" saying something like:
I got one of these...
Great little camera, and you don't even need the video capture card [1] to use it - all you need for a single camera is an old TV card and use the composite input with a trial copy of Active WebCam or similar.
[1] The capture card was actually ok, but the supplied software was a total pain in the arse.
LOL!

The message from Guy King contains these words:
I now have some of the proper filter material - so it's time to nobble an old webcam, I think.
You've got a broody too?
The message from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:
Explosive detonating cord.
It's detonating fuse. A well-known brand is "Cordtex".
Oh.
But since you've snipped it's out of context and my short term memory isn't what it was - if I remember corectly.
It will come to you :-)
Mary
The message from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:
Nah, just two kids to entertain.
Ah! So YOU'RE the broody :-)
I'm happy to have all that behind me. It was good at the time - most of the time - but you can have too much of a good thing or, as someone else said, moderation in all things.
The trouble with kids is that it gets worse before it gets better :-)
