Online Webcam?
 

Okay so I picked up a new webcam today and got it functioning. Now what I want is to set up one of those automatically-updating pages on my website with my webcam broadcasting live, at least when I'm online. But I'm confused as to how to do that. I tried a program called TimCam but it won't recognise the driver on my camera or something.

Does anyone know what I can do to get an online webcam going? Thanks. :terrsmile:

I've never done one before. I would look around for similar programs that might do the job. Not sure if this is a good one, but it may be worth looking into.

This may help you, also. If not, at least I tried. ;)

I'm thinking now that there may be something wrong with my camera setup, or driver, because I encounter a problem (forcing the program in question to close) whenever I try to run a number of programs, including ConquerCam. :P So I'm off to my camera's tech support site, whee.

I figured out the problem, and installed ConquerCam, but all I get is a green screen (not video with too much green in it, but a solid green screen. Here's my online webcam:

So I'm working on it...

keep working on it:)
 

Looks kinda like the Emergency Alert System test pattern:cheesegrin:

You must have checked it when I had the program turned off. It has an "offline" image".

I fixed it I'm awesome. :bloosmirk:

At least, you're getting there. I look forward to the complete setup. :)

Edit: YAY, it's you!!! :D

I presume that's you I'm seeing? :)

Yes that's me, so if you ever see anyone else, they stole my computer. :wiltshock:

Maybe later y'all can see Kiwi. ;)

yay
 

Your webcam look very neat:bloogrin

Here, I have it set up on an auto-refreshing webpage now. :terrsmile:

Sparkycam!

Impressive. :bloocross:

Yay! :D

:mfoster: "neato bandito"

Offline. Ah well.

I might turn it on after dinner. ;) And I could show you guys how I'm doing on my Eduardo cross-stitch.

ohhhh... dialup sucks

The Sparkycam is back, btw; I decided to set my webcam up on my desktop computer in case I wanted to do video chat so I set it up to interface with my website. So maybe I'll have it on while I'm playing FusionFall. ;)

Hi Sparky! :D

Whoa....Rainbow Mr. Herriman? 8D

That was a mistake "privacy shade" image for when I'm afk. :/ I'm trying to fix it so it will show properly.

Ah, okay. =P

Thanks to Circuit City going out of business, I finally got the webcam I wanted today for less than I could get it anywhere else, including online. If you manage to catch me using it, again, the link is here. Next step is to buy the better webcam software, but that can wait a bit. :terrsmile:

I see Beetlejuice in the background. :bloogrin:

Yeah I'm on the laptop so I'm on the couch, there's a BJ beach towel hanging up behind the couch. (You can also see how messy the couch is thanks to Kiwi, lol.) When I use it on the desktop computer you can see down the hallway to the bedrooms so y'all might catch a glimpse of GM from time to time. ;)

For some reason the image is sharper in Firefox than IE, IE kinda digitizes it a bit. I can't figure out why. :P

For absolutely no reason I have brought back the Sparkycam. 8D

I guess I might leave it on when I'm working or something. If I can figure out a way to get the camera over there maybe I can point it at my embroidery machines when I'm making stuff, I dunno.
