Ive been looking for any software out there that will stream a webcam live to my site. All that I have found are ones that take still shots every like 1 second and then it uploads that to the server. I need something that will have LIVE Streaming and not to another server such as the sites that offer to stream your cam for you. It must be internally on my server. If someone can also create such a program/script like this , please quote me a price. Also would like to integrate a webcam chatroom in there also.
You could do this by installing a video server such as red5, haxevideo, or the developer version of Flash Media Server onto your pc, then have 2 swfs - 1 on your pc that grabs the webcam and sends to this software, and another swf on your website that connects back to your pc and streams the video. I've done this myself at home and it works fine within the limitations of your outgoing bandwidth.
Thanks for all the great tips I appreciate it but while in the search for the programs you listed , I came across a program called TinCam which is really really easy to use and works great.
Yeah TinCam rocks. I use it to monitor my house when I'm away. If anyone breaks in, their photo is immediately uploaded to a remote server http://www.tincam.com/
tincam is cool and id use it but does has a 30 day limitation so i use yawcam its free for life Yawcam.com features: .: Video streaming .: Image snapshots .: Built-in webserver .: Motion detection .: Ftp-upload .: Text and image overlays .: Password protection .: Online announcements for communities .: Scheduler for online time .: Multi languages
