how to set up a webcam and take pictures of room and show?

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

how to set up a webcam and take pictures of room and show?

Post by mickey »

hi,

webcam on a room, takes picture every now and then, php page refreshes, shows the new snapshot of the room?

any ideas for a video cam?

hope you could give me a start where to look at.

do i make the functions in c++? call windows APIs?

i do not have a webserver, my site is just being hosted..., which means, i can't upload the new file!

thanks,

Power toys for XP has some REALLY easy to use webcam software that sits in the background and takes a pic every few seconds(whatever u set it to) and saves the picture to the directory of your choice.
