Hive Cameras

Since this site is viewed from all over the world by a variety of browsers, I have created multiple ways that you can receive live video from this site.    Currently there are three cameras in operation.    

If one method doesn't work you, try the others. 

 

Camera 1 - Hive #1 Entrance

 

Camera 2 - Hive #2 Internal Camera

Camera 3 - Hive #1 Entrance Camera

  • Uses a C++ ActiveX component, which requires DirectX 8 and IE 5.5 or better
  • Browser and user must accept component download and installation
