    Hi Steve,

    Do you mind if I ask what type of camera that was? This was something you added on yourself?

    Thanks,

    Gary

    Hi Gary, it is a Raspberry Pi and the camera for it. Costs about $60-75 if I recall correctly. It's been in use for years now and never had a problem with it. I made a little acrylic mount and found the best spot for it in the cabinet, mounted the camera to the mount, stuck the mount to the cabinet with 3M tape and it's never moved.

    Lightburn site also has USB cameras you can view from within their software.

    I run my laptop with HDMI output to a 32" monitor. I just push the camera view window in the software to the 32" monitor and run the software on the laptop screen.

    Fiber I will walk away from momentarily (because I mostly etch metal, glass and ceramic which will not catch fire) , but I never walk more than a few feet away from the CO2.

    If you want an almost free setup. Try alfred for android. You will need a used cell phone for the camera, and a 2nd cell phone as the viewer. Many of use have a few old phone laying around.

    Here is a quick video.

    Has it changed recently? I tried it about a year ago and it was bad on pop ups. I ended up uninstalling. Now this was free version.....
