Webcam | BMH Online

Welcome to the webcam of BMH Online.

Located in Wales, UK, the camera typically looks out to a garden (of sorts) and a field beyond. Perhaps you'll see birds on the feeder, a cat or human enjoying the sun, or sheep and lambs grazing in the distance.

Operating hours are typically during the sunlight hours (GMT). (The system is generally solar powered).

Instructions:
After the introduction slide-show, the above webcam image will refresh automatically every minute.
If the time doesn't progress (bottom) after this duration then the webcam is likely currently offline.

Computer:
The original BMH Online Webcam was run from a Windows 98 PC with a 368MHz K6-2 CPU and 128MB or RAM, using a Creative Webcam 3 USB.

As resurrected in 2021 the BMH Online Webcam runs on Windows XP from an Advent 3211-B Netbook with an Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, using a Logitch C270 Webcam. Or, as of 2026, the webcam can also run from a Raspberry Pi.

Gallery:
A collection of captured images have been captured and collected; I intend to create a Gallery of sorts to display these. #comingsoon Get in touch to request to be notified of the addition of this feature. #nevergotroundtoit

Solar:
In 2022 4 x 200W solar panels and a PowerOak AC200P system were acquired, allowing the generation of some of our own electricity. With a surplus of energy on sunny summer days there is enough to power the Webcam system from the Netbook (it draws about 45 watts according to the PowerOak), or the Raspberry Pi can be powered by a USB powerbank (charged via solar).

Donate / Merch / Advertise / Share:
While the solar-generated electricity is "free" the equipment is not. If you would like to help support the running and maintaining these systems then you can either donate directly (with Ko-fi), purchase products (merch) created using my own designs/artwork/photos (available on Zazzle), advertise your own website/product/service (rates available upon request), or simply link to/share the camera page - if you have your own webcam page then reciprocated links are welcome.
