My friend wants me to design him a site where users will be able to view through his webcam which will be on 24/7. I have no idea how to do that.

Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

the webcam should store a file every so often onto either his HD or via FTP to a site.. that's all you need to hook into (the file)

ok but that would only display a picture every so often. What about if I wanted the users to see it live?

In that case you'll need streaming server. You could do something like this very easy with Flash. There are few hosts who provide Flash Com Server hosting. (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=n ... er+hosting).

you could also check userplane.com to see what they have available.
