Monitoring 3D Prints

[asteinmark]

Is 640x480 good enough, or would you need 720p?

At that point it would depend on pricing. Preferably I'm looking for HD for around $50 but I can go as high as $100 if necessary. I am a full time student after all.

What printer are you using?

teamviewer works better than vlc.
That said it's been a few years since i played with vlc. I just use teamviewer these days.
And for the vast majority of purposes 640x480 should be good enough.

It says today only... 720p (and wide angle which makes it perfect for a 3d printer...) for $49.99

Thanks. It still says $49.99 for just yesterday but it's still priced that way. I'll probably try this.

But teamviever cant use an ip caméras right? I been using it for a while and i had a few conferences but only with others TV users. Just a dumb question.

I haven't use teamviewer in ages, but how is the bandwidth consumption? Just hate to see the internet bill exploding...
