Mods please move this thread is the location is deemed unsuitable.
I have recently purchased a house in Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire, which backs on to the proposed route of HS2, and is immediately adjacent to a level crossing, that will close permanently if and when HS2 arrives.
What I would like to do, provided that cost and things are not too high, is to install a streaming webcam looking at the crossing.
I have no idea how this can be done, and whether a cam could be made to work only when trains pass through (a time lapse cam would probably not catch many train movements), could I somehow have a cam that only comes live when th gates are down? Movement detector would presumably detect road traffic movements as well as rail. Is a domestic broadband connection sufficient to provide a feed?
It will be some time before the house is in a habitable state, and this is only an idea at present, but has anyone had any experience of setting up such a system?
Thanks.
