Love the chamera idea! Maybe you should pitch it to a wildlife documentary show? You could make a chameleon robot - chamaeleo robotus and release it into the wild and see how it interacts with other chams! Now that would be cool!
I have done this in the past, including the recent past. Whenever I have a new arrival I have a cam set to 1 minute intervals so I can check-up on him/her via the internet when I'm at work. Its actually not all that interesting to watch, to be honest. But its cheap/easy to set-up.
Ive borrowed it a few times to watch the dogs during the day, its awesome you can look all around, you have sound, zoom in, zoom out...you get the software and make your own website. its cool
and it was rather amusing watching my dogs do everything they shouldent since I was not home.
