Put my Webcam pics on my Web Site.

I've got an Apache server here.

And I've got a webcam... a 'kasda', bought it here in China...

The kasda software does not allow automatic collection of still pics every second or so. You must manually take a still pic when you want one.

I want to put my webcam pics onto my web home page, which is right here on my own computer, in the Apache directory.

So I need:

Something that will constantly take pics from the webcam and stick them in a directory.

Something that will pick them up from that directory and display them on a webpage.

OR:
Something that does both of them at once!

use ConquerCam

I'm not 100% sure it will work with your specific camera, but you can try

Thanks... I've downloaded it, I'll check it out tomorrow.

Your specs are pretty good. Why the pics of burning computer parts all the time? Or was it just a coincidence I saw a card and a motherboard being burned the two times I looked? Have you got a webcam set up to watch a sort of permanent burning?

The reference to PHP: I've just loaded it up and intend to get into it. I thought a php script might be the way to do this. Do you write php?

yup, both me and uranium program in php, its a really good language to learn imo, its quite easy to understand and pickup, the hardest thing is instaling if you use apache2 and windows as 99% of the time the php4apache2.dll included doesn't work

be sure you get the very latest version of PHP to run with apache2 beta

PHP is a serverside language, if you want a interval save only ccam can do that

Actally, I don't suggest getting apache2. Just get the latest stable version.

the signature is a random signature. I got the burning computer part images off another site.

Actually now that I think about it I'm not sure of ccam can do a interval SAVE. I know it can do a interval upload, but I'm not sure about local saving

if you want to I guess you can get a ftp server on your system too

and another thing, unless you're running 2K/XP I don't suggest running apache public. Apache on 9x kernel is a big security nono

is there a free software that i could use to put my web cam on my site?

like were ppl can c my room at all times

just find cam software that has interval uploading of pics.

There was a guy I knew taht would do a live cam update of almost 2fps (which is pretty good). It was software taht uploaded a live image to a thier website and used javascript to go through the images, but I forget what the website and package is called.

I learned myself. there's a guy I know who own a PHP forums (phpfreaks) who will be releasing his own book (I don't think it's been released yet though).

Anyways, I used a wrox book to learn what I didn't already figure out (Tribes1 scripting is alot like PHP, so I learned the basics of PHP without even knowing)
