Every time this is posted I wonder if one could improve the backend so it doesn't take 5-10 seconds for a video stream to connect.

Right now it's quite populated, but if I ever check it otherwise it's like this: wait 10 seconds, no cat, wait 10 seconds, no cat, wait 7 seconds, leave.

I get it, but also, it’s pretty amazing that it only takes 10 seconds to remotely activate and stream live video from a camera installed in a cat house placed on a sidewalk 6,000 miles away.

They're in China so there's some inherent latency, but it only takes about a second to load each stream for me (in Europe).

The "Feeders with Hungry Cats" dropdown filters to the active cameras.

		60% of the time it works every time. Sometimes those are all empty as well, or maybe there's a racoon instead :)
