Cam Streaming

[TGCashin]

Can anyone tell me a good software product to digitally stream a cam? I know it will probably involve 3 steps: 1) for the user using the cam, 2) for the server storing the data, 3) for the user watching the cam on the Internet but I would really like some suggestions. If there are ones out already with chat built in, that would help to, but suggest ones without it anyway. I would also like the images to be stored, so just not overwrite the old one (At least 1 in x stored). Finally, I want a quick frame rate, not just 1 every 5 seconds.

I'm sure most of you know exactly what I'm trying to explain. I will appreciate any help once so ever. Thanks in advance.

There is nothing commercially available that is decent for high-end (i.e. thousands of girls/viewers, reporting/billing built in, security, etc.)

Firecracker is very expensive and does not support clustering - so you are stuck with 1 machine that you are going to keep adding hardware to until it just can't get any faster (which will be very soon).

There is a package that major news networks use called k----- (forgot the name), but it doesn't have billing and other reporting tools needed for our industry. Not too mention it costs about $180k with a licensing cost of $60k or so per year.

I was a programmer on a custom system that was built to the above specifications.

I'm using that one program and lets just say it's not very good... It streams decently, but the type of streaming is unstable unless you use Flash, which then makesi t look like a matrix effect.

As for uploading to my server, its hopeless via FTP. I would assume i would need a custom client-server that will transfer the files REAL FAST and only replace the 1 once its finished because with FTP u get alot of 1/2 images and errored images.

Running from self server isn't that bad, but again, only with flash. That also puts the girl's comouter at a security risk.

Really sucks that there is no other option other than this... You said you worked on a programming team who offered this, do you still have the coding or know where to purchase licensing? For right now I just need a VERY LOW END thing, but it has to work. Once I get more gets I can worry about just hiring a programming team to custom code it. (Would be cheaper that a fricken 120k setup and 60k a year.)

I mean, if I am force to use this, then I will for now. If there are other options out, i would deffinitly like to try them.

ps: One with a build in chat server owuldnt be bad, but im pritty sure im just going to have to go with an IRC server/java chat. While on the subject, any one know of any really customizable java irc server chat programs? I have a license to jPilot or whatever, which I will probly end up using on this if I have to.

we used to use Nullsoft Streaming Video (nsv) which uses vp6. imo, it's the best quality for live streams, as it doesn't capture jpg images a la webcam xp (which is also an ok solution.)

beware though, it's not for the faint of heart.

that said, my partner developed a wizard that sets it on the model's pc with a minimum of fuss and whatnot. let me know if you're interested in details.

yeh, contact me with details. We can talk on AIM: TGCashin or email: [email protected]. Thanks in advance.

what kind of site are you going to use this on?

[TGCashin]

Well right now a simple cam site for a girl under us. www.skye-cam.com is a preview of the domain.

Eventually we hope to run ongoing cams from our studio, so if im looking both for just that and eventually long run for multi girls. I'm setting up our IRCd today for chat.

As always, thanks for any help you provide.

The system is obviously proprietary and very valuable at that. I was the lead developer, so I have something much more valuable than the code - the knowledge of how it works. As too licensing, it is not available. If you want something similar we can talk.

pop me a price range.
