Default Re: Live Camera Feed to Web Page

I'm with Wige and Mr. Hart.

We did virtually the same thing several years back.

Our client runs construction sites all across the prairies and wanted their investors and potential clients to be able to monitor projects from anywhere.

We used a local PC on the job site which was hooked up to an outdoor webcam to shoot still images every 30 seconds. The camera software would then log on to the net, ftp the still shots (via dialup connection) to the web server, log off and compile the still shots into stop motion videos at the end of each week. All automatically.

The clients were thrilled and so where their investors. Eezie-Peezie to set up, inexpensive to operate and it works like a charm as long as there's an internet connection and a power supply.

Sorry, can't recall the name of the software but there are a few brands around that all do pretty much the same thing. Follow Alan-Hart's link, that'll get ya started in the right direction.
