"Online Webcam"

Okay my task for today is to set up a webcam on my website. Anyone done that before?

I have my webcam installed and running. Now I just need to find some software to FTP the images to my website.

I'll blog my progress in this thread so others can try it themselves =) I mentioned before about a friend of mine who set up a site with live feed on his chickens. =)

So, given up on the language thing, and decided to become an online porn star eh Machie - get in :)

Are you sure your web cam software doesn't come with the built-in FTP software you need? My old one did, and I got that 5 years ago.

heh no I havent given up anything, just something for one of my other projects.

This webcam is new, it's my brothers, he couldnt get it working on his machine, but I just about got it to work on mine. Whether in frustration or pure stupidity, he managed to crack the software CD. It should be still on my machine, but I dont think I'll want to use it. It came across as very clingy and wanting to install 5+ different programs. You know what it's like. So I'll have a look around and see if I can find something better.

The quality is actually quite good compared to my other webcam.

Sorry I can't point you in the direction of a specific bit of software. Good luck in finding some, download.com might turn out some good results.

What camera is it?

Yeah I used Download.com to find something called "ThruCam", hopefully that'll be able to help me =) haven't installed it yet.

The camera is a Philips model, for a flatscreen monitor, which mine isnt. I don't think it cost much. You can get some really good webcams but I doubt I'll buy another especially when I'll be traveling and not able to use it properly.

I'd like to see a webcam set up at the Freeola offices. And we should be able to press a button to shock lazy staff =)

Didn't Special Reserve have on behind the counter at their last opening shop?

I think they did, okay I've run into a problem, I think my host is stopping the software from FTPing the same image again and again. Now I need to figure out how to get it to overwrite it.

EDIT: No wait it's working now =)

Okay it's all done now :) I plugged in a second webcam but I dont think the software will allow me to run two at once =/

Here's my live webcam (every 30s)

lol, poor Garin :)
