Hi all,



I have been looking at this newsgroup with interest for a while. I wish to
set up my own webcam to put on my web site. I wish to set up 1 to look at
the garden to start with and possibly add another at a later date to look at
the front of the house. Ideally they would be a wireless connection. Can
someone please point me in the right direction to the correct camera needed
and software. A step by step guide would be great.



Regards



Andre

It's really hard to say and answer your post. If you keep lurking here
and read some of the older (and newer) posts that should at least get
you started.

I have a webcam page and it took me awhile to even get that started. I
got the webcam first and then agonized over the details later. Mine is
a simple logitech webcam and the problem that I'm having now is getting
it to stream on my own webpage.

Thanks for your advice. I am still looking around. I have got the webcam set
up but like you I am having problems live streaming. At the moment I am
trying Yawcam I can get photo's to up load with a manual refresh but not
live streaming as yet.

I recently bought a trackerpod camera mount from eagletron. The software is
freely downloadable from their site, it's called 'trackercam'. You don't
need to have a trackerpod installed to use the program. I found it very easy
to configure. It does FTP upload on a user configurable delay (which you are
doing successfully) It also does streaming quite well. If you don't have a
trackerpod fitted it simply says "trackerpod not found" when you launch the
software but it still works fine. To be honest I find it the best webcam
software I've ever used and I've played around with a lot! You could do a
lot worse than have a tinker with it since it's free. I have no ties to the
company but wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. You can see it in action at
my site (url in sig) during the operating hours.
