There's numerous ways to accomplish this, but I'd point you towards windows media services that we use to stream our sports games. You just need to install the Windows Media Services on a Windows server and then have the encoder installed on a computer in the room with some type of camera hooked up. There might be simpler solutions, but this is what I'm the most familiar with so it popped in my head first. Students could connect to the Microsoft stream coming from the server at home. You can embed a windows media player in the web page so the live feed can be just a piece of a webpage with other information and photos around it. If you go the embed route, you end up alienating non Windows users, but if you provide an mms link to open a new window as an alternative you cover all the bases.
Curtis McKay Network Administrator Belleville Township High School District 201 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ekhoff, Andrew Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 10:47 AM To: Tech-Geeks Mailing List Subject: [tech-geeks] Live video feed I currently have a science teacher who would like to stream live video of a fish tank the class with have an experiment in. He wants students who are interested to be able to monitor the experiment at home. We currently host and manage our website so publishing content should be a little easier with the web server and camera on the same network segment. I didn't know if anyone had ever tried or has something like this already set up. Just curious, I thought it was a neat idea that would challenge the web page class.

We ordered a Smart Table, at the beginning of July with some ARRA money, and they messed it up or lost it, and now they are telling me sometime the first of Sept. This is the second time Smart has messed up an order of ours, and it's the second vendor I've used.
