Axis 240 camera server and vtel smartcam: Just a description at this
point. OldMan has figured out how to control the camera with a serial
connection over the web! The vtel smartcam is an excellent quality camera
that can be pan tilt zoom - ptz - controlled with serial commands from a network
camera server. The camera was originally designed for teleconferencing,
but can be found on eBay and the like for less than $50 because nobody knows how
to hook one up! The Axis 240 can be used with a Magnia with a few software
modifications to the magnia''s software.
MisterHouse: This topic is really part of the SG20. With proper
installation - which requires a comtrol rocketport - you can run MisterHouse
home automation software on your Magnia!
