Webcams

Does anyone know of software, that could dynamically upload images from my website users webcam to the ftp server, for viewing by my other website members?

Or maybe a software that produces live feeds and doesn't use FTP.

I would prefer FTP though, this way I could set it to only allow like 1 image per second, save it to /public_html/username/webcam1.jpg ..

It doesn't matter if it is free or costs money, I am just looking for software to add webcam functionality to my website.

Microsoft's Media services streaming server.

It's free.

I used to use it to broadcast my digital TV signal across my LAN in a student house.

*That's a bit sad really isn't it? *cough* * :P

I am using a unix server. Seems to be only IIS compatible?

Oh I see (I dont remember it being dependant on IIS since it creates it's own stream). It will certainly not run under unix.

Sorry can't help you on that I'm afraid :D

Good luck

I'm not totally sure but i think VideoLAN would do what you want
