    That's incredible, well done.

    How do you do it, i.e which ports, router etc?

    Do you have to have multiple static IPs?

    Is the camera part of a CCTV system and if so how do you make that camera public whilst keeping the rest private?

    Really intrigued by this as I've tried similar things and failed.

    The way I have achieved this is as follows. I can go into more detail if you want.

    I bought a Barlus Underwater camera from Amazon. It's the first time I have seen one at a reasonable price. And designed to actually be under water without paying £300+

    This camera has its own software built in, and allows certain web browsers to view the footage. However it does support RTSP streams. The problem with RTSP is that it's a 1to1 stream. So only 1 person could ever view at one time. This means we need to transcode this into something more suitable.

    So the way I have achieved this is:

    IP Camera feeding its RTSP stream into Restreamer which I have running as a docker within Ubuntu server. This then spits the stream out into a much better HTML feed for websites. Getting around the 1to1 restriction. This is then embeded within an iframe which allows you to put into into your standard HTML website.

    I have a Webserver running at home (I have 5 public static IPs i use for various services). So the domain watchthefish.co.uk is pointing to one of my public IPs which is then forwarded to my webserver.

    The ‘techie’ stuff is way beyond my pay grade - you may as well be talking mandarin - but the video of your fish is mesmeric, just beautiful, thanks so much for posting.

    Thanks for all the kind comments. Unfortunately the night mode just makes it appear to be snowing in the pond. I am looking at adding an additional infrared source which may sort this issue. As spying on my fish in the winter seems like a fun idea. Haha

    Once you get used to the ‘snowing’ it’s still great to watch. ‘Spying’ on your fish during the winter could be invaluable in understanding what goes on in low temperatures - keep the video coming!

    Thanks mate, much appreciated.

    As I have none of this stuff and don't have PC switched on all the time it would be on the expensive side just for the sake of streaming one camera. Some of the technicals are still above my head.

    I have 1 static IP which I used to use for streaming dodgy Satellite TV from my box to my phone and other devices. I tried to set it up to stream from my domain so my brother who lives abroad could watch stuff he can't get there, but never felt it was truly secure. Also when he changed channels it changed channels on my box lol, so I had to watch what he was watching!

    After getting CCTV I gave up with the satellite streaming and now use the static IP to stream the cameras. My cameras are HD-SDI which unfortunately is now a dying / dead format. Modern IP cameras are much easier to set all this stuff up on.

    Feeding time is every 2 hours from 6am
    All the way to 10pm.

    Although after noticing a couple flashing today I done a load of scrapes. Found nothing but did notice a slight amount of ammonia showing on the water tests. So done a big water change and deferred feeding till tomorrow.

    I have tested the site on most browsers, it works on Samsung TVs, iPhones, android, google chrome.

    So after hosting 3 fish for a friend and a loss during the winter I am now down to 19 fish. Which I think is a better number. I do still plan on moving a couple more on but I think it should be okay for this summer.

    Quite a few of the fish still have carp pox's but that is now subsiding. Temp of the pond is starting to climb over 12 degrees. Also one of the Kahaku's has excess mucus on its head, this has been like this for years so not too worried, just doesn't look too nice.
