Webcam woes

r0sered1ster · 03-16-2006, 04:30 PM

I have a great idea for a webcam to broadcast live images, but absolutely no idea how to do this. Can someone walk me through what I need to do in order to put it on the net?

Hi. Since this forum (Google Answers) is for questions about the Google service of that name (not general questions),
I'm moving this thread to the General Computer forum.

I hope someone can help you there.

Like do you mean just steadily broadcast a video? Take pictures every so often? Do you want it to be interfaced with an Instant Messenger or a website?

I have a similar situation where I want to setup a (as close to) live video broadcast. I want to be able to have the inlaws (who live halfway across the country) go to a website address and be able to see our their grand daughter (4 1/2 months old) on the screen...

I would like to do this with open source software (or freeware) if possible...
