WEBCAM HOW-TO (Cribbed from artelevision's earlier post in this thread.)
Any digital camera will work as long as it is seen by your capture software. Inexpensive Logitech cams (from 60 – 100 dollar range are perfect). Install the webcam software with as few options as possible. You’ll be using another program for uploading your images. Download webcam software, such as: Chillcam from www.chillcam.com or Webcam32 from www.webcam32.com A trial version is available here: http://www.surveyor.com/products/we..._info_eval.html Install the software. Settings: You will be uploading (via FTP) still images at intervals (not streaming) to a server. Ignore the software that came with the cam and use the webcam software you downloaded. Start the webcam software with the cam connected. The software should see the cam – recognize it – and display a cam image. If it doesn’t For Webcam32: Go to file menu and select the camera as input For Chillcam: Go configure > Inputs > and select your cam as input device. Now configure your FTP settings. You are sending to an FTP Host (server) It has an IP address of this sort: 123.456.789.123 It has an FTP login with a: Username: xxxxx Password: xxxxx You will need to know the directory and filename you are sending to: Such as “directory/filename.jpg” You’ll be setting your image size at 320 pixels wide by 240 pixels high Your upload time can be 60 seconds For Webcam32 Use the Setup Wizard. It will step you through the setup process. For Chillcam: Go to Configure and input the settings as requested. Select Main Event and click on “Enabled” “FTP” and “Capture 1” OK You should be good to go. NOTE: I’ll be editing this for clarity as the questions come in. It’s intended as a way to get you started from scratch. Good Luck! |

I'm having trouble trying to get all my different bits of Webcam software to behave.
I got chillcam working at one stage but then it stopped after messing around trying to install a Logitech utility. The lastest download for my cam doesn't seem to like my old version of imagestudio. But the new download has better zoom tracking controls. Busy tonight. I'll fiddle with it all again tommorrow night. Techno nightmare week for me. Nothing wants to go smoothly. |

I TOO, am curious about this information. I am racking my brain to find something that works better than the stuff I use.

old versions of chillcam,
www.chillcam.com version 2.4.0 and earlier... IMO they work better than the new ones

I used Conquercam a couple of years ago, it was the best at the time, while the picture quality sucked a bit and the thing crashed now and then, but for the most part it was awesome. Wonder how it is doing nowadays... Quote:
