    Barn camera setup I need, is it out there?

    I have 5 foscam 8910W cameras, like someone else said they become very addicting.  I have had very good luck with mine.  When I decided to put one of the cameras outside I purchased one of the outdoor Foscams and it sucked, they don't zoom or move....it's just a fixed picture so I sold that on...

    Halter Sores

    Got a calf from someone that must have left the halter on too long, the calf is really sore and raw behind the ears and somewhat on the nose but not as bad as behind the ears.  Not putting a halter on him and going to give him some time to heal but just curious if anyone has had this happen and...

    Sullivan Fans

    We have always used Sullivan fans but I have heard good things about fans from QC Supply, not $45 fans but if I recall a decent savings vs Sullivan.

    Keep cow after C section?

    Back in the 80's when the big cattle where in style we used to just put zippers in their sides :)

    Barn camera setup I need, is it out there?

    I am like you, tech savvy...I know just enough to be dangerous.  Read this info about port forwarding which will give you an idea of how to access a camera from outside of the network.

    Barn camera setup I need, is it out there?

    Mine changes every 24 hours.  I don't know if I would rely on a dynamic ip not changing....what happens if it doesn't change for 6 months but happens to change the night you are away and expect it to work.  A service like dyndns is cheap insurance.

    Barn camera setup I need, is it out there?

    I would think that would probably work but the issue that you would have is that the iPad is going to need to be somewhat close to the camera so it can access the hotspot.  How would plan on viewing the camera?

    Barn camera setup I need, is it out there?

    I would disagree with that, I would say the majority of internet providers use dynamic ip addresses for security reasons.  It is easy to overcome this by using a service such as dyndns.org which allows you to use a fixed url.  Setting up a fixed ip on the camera is simple and would be suggested...

    6.0 Powerstroke?

    I currently have an 09 Cummins with 95,000...I have had the turbo replaced once and I have no doubt that it will need to be replaced again soon.  Great motor but the front end seems to go through ball joints faster than I would like.  The warranty is good until 100,000 miles so the pickup still ...

    Who impacted you as a clipper/fitter?

    That is a name that I haven't heard in sometime, growing up in Nebraska I remember seeing Scott at the shows in the area when I was younger.  He was a legend, in the 80's there weren't a lot of big name fitters...there was no internet so rumors and stories were shared the old fashioned way by...
