We use an Axis 2100 server to transmit footage from our four SeaViewer underwater cameras. We have found that the resolution, clarity, and transmission speed of this combination of equipment is top notch, and highly recomend both these products.

Two new windows are needed to practice the ethology of B2 fishes. A webcam window must be opened, within which live images from the B2 ocean will be posted. You can open that window here, and use Login=guest, Password=guest to establish a connection. If you use Microsoft Explorer, you may need to download the ActiveX plugin here.

A second window includes pull-down menus for recording behaviors. That window can be opened here, and no login is required. Array numbers correspond with the cameras from left to right and top to bottom (like text) when viewing via the Axis video server.
