Webcam on SITE question

**C.Whyte** · 10-10-2005, 08:02 PM

What's up guys, I searched for webcams and decided that instead of kicking up a 3 year old unanswered thread, I would start a new one.

I'm trying to put a live webcam on my site, yet I know nothing about how to do it. From the little I could figure out, I did here:

http://cwhyteforpresident.com/webcam.html

Code:

 <h1>C.Whyte For President Live Webcam</h1>
    
  <h2>www.CwhyteForPresident.com</h2>
  <p><br>
    <img src="webcam.jpg" border=1 width=320 height=240 alt="C.Whyte Webcam"><br><br>
    [ <a href="javascript:caminawin();">OPEN IN FLOATING WINDOW</a> ]</form>
  <p> Please DO NOT hit RELOAD on your browser suckaz.
<p><br><br><br>
     
  <h3>Check me out SUCKAZ.</h3>

   if (x > -1) document.form1.clock.value = x
   timerID = setTimeout("StartClock()", 1000)}
  // END HIDING -->
  </script>
 </head>
 <body bgcolor="white" onLoad="StartClock()">

If anyone can help me let me know. I basically can't figure out what to upload to the server to get the image there.

Cheers!

You will need the proper software to ftp webcam images to your server.You may want to check out iVista and WebCam32.

I had a similar webcam running some years ago, I cannot remember the ftp program I used but searching for webcam FTP seems to bring up many. I used another program to time the images taken, Microsoft do a free powertoy for this. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
The used the ftp to upload the image once every few minutes. Do not forget to add an automatic refresh to the page that displays the uploaded image.
