Hi all...
I'm interested in getting a webcam setup for a web site. I would like it to be on 24-7 and update every 30minutes or so.... Can anyone give me some directions or point me to some documentations? Does software come with a webcam? Besides an ISP, does the server have to have any thing special or is it all up to the webcam software? thanks for any help. |

Go to http://www.teveo.com
You can download the vidio suite for free. I got the webcam to work with our Sony Digital 8 Camcorder in real time with the firewire interface. The only problem is that the Camcorder shuts off when idle after a few minutes. It should work with any generic USB webcam as well. To make your webcam viewable to the outside world you may need to have a cable modem or dsl. Cheers, Jookie |

When I want to do a live broadcast, I just Yahoo! Geocities webcam. And then if I want people to see it, I just send them the link. I usually put a popup box on my website that allows you to view it. And I don't mind having people stare at me because theirs a control panel that allows you to know when people are watching. So I know not to do anything questionable when more people than I invited are watching. =) I usually only use it when me and somebody else are both broadcasting, so we can laugh and point at each other. LOL.,

This site used to have a great deal of information about setting up a webcam:
http://www.baddgrrl.com/ She had a good writeup but I could not find it today. It's been a couple years since I visited the site but the information may still be there or linked somewhere.

Re: webcam
I have an ibook and the Isight looks great. I'm not sure how to work it into a websight though, and not too sure anyone would be interested in watching me 24/7 :)
