Sorry to take so long getting back. Business has been picking up and I've been busy as heck!

JP - Sorry, no adult stuff.

Actually, it's more a long the lines of a security cam. I want to be able to see what damage my cat has been doing all day! On second thought, maybe I don't want to know!

Anti,
If your house is such a bloody mess all the time how would you tell if you had been burgled?

I want to add a web cam "how to" guide on our chat software site. This will bring in some traffic, and hopefully sales and heck, it will help some people out too

Anyway, I am about to research this but would value all input and advice on where to look. I plan to start the research process sometime tomorrow. If you have any FAQS, or Informative places to look, in regards to setup, hardware, software and the like, let me know.

Either post or email:

Hey-
JP: I can't tell you exactly why I have the cam...it's just something I bought one time, and use like once a month Kinda handy to take pictures of stuff for friends and family...but otherwise I guess it just sits

Hi,

I have such a solution runnnig at home as a "security-system".

I used a hauppauge tv-card (WinTV-Radio).
When I bought the card I got a Camera in a cheap set (I initally didn't want it, but it was cheap )
I have a small "allround" linux system running and I just plugged the card and the cam to it.

After the hardware-software worked together I did the following.

1. The cam shots a picture (320x200) every minute (via cron)
2. I scale down the pics (160x100) every hour (via cron+imagemagick)
3. I create a animated gif from the low-res pics.
4. I dial my ISP, upload the anim-gif and 4 "high"-res pics via a small perl script.

This way I can "watch" my home from whereever I am.
The solution is very cheap and has not many features, but it works for me.

I would give you the URL of the output page (and put some banners on it ), but my appartment looks a little ... hmm ... messy.

ciao
Anti
ps:
if anyone is interested in the/a linux based solution I'm here to help.

What do you intend to do with a cam by the way?
- conferencing
- video mail
- an adult site?

Hey-
Sorry for the wait on the answer The ISpy software that comes with it takes care of scheduling, and uploading itself. The Web Cam II is in pretty, pretty, color

Have fun!
