Where is the good streaming webcam software?
 

I want to set up a webcam at home to play around with... I've used Spycam before which I think is just meta refresh, but I'd rather do something streaming -- applet or...?

I've done surfing and I've mostly found a lot of crap that doesn't work -- java bytecode errors, broken servers, etc... There's got to be some homebrew shit cooking out there!

I don't really care about chat... and don't care so much about audio either... I just want the video to stream on my website...

I've seen that Firecracker program that's like $2500 or something but that's overkill I don't want all that affiliate program/performer feature stuff that I'll never use...

I think they might have something your looking for:

Yeah I found the Vista in google but none of their samples worked and I got server connection errors, etc... so that really did not impress me ;) Also the interface was kindof lame you have to click "play" to get the cam to start in a popup window... Seems too complicated, the cam should start playing as soon as the page loads...

Haven't seen webcam32 tho... I'm suprised there's not more out there being offered -- webcams aren't exactly NEW -- I remember watching webcams all the way back in '94-95 on CUSEEME...

Webcam32 is good software and very straightforward, but...

To stream you'll need to download an additional few files in a zip. "JavaCamPush" or something like that. Last time I checked, the zip was there, and it was downloaded as per their instructions -- but half of the files mentioned in their "how to stream" walkthrough were missing from the zip file.

Fly, how can I contact you.

get webcamXP or something like that.. its pretty cool, uses flash
