Hi All,
I would like to setup a WebCam server for a relative of mine who
started a kindergarden.
He wants to be able to see who is comming / passing outside for
security and ID purposes.
I thought I could install some WebCam server distro on an old PIII
machine, connect a couple of USB WebCams to it, hook it to a broadband
internet connection and - presto !
I thought it would be cool to offer the parents to take a peek at
their kids while theyŕe napping...
Any suggestions?
Why not get one of the webcams from D-Link and put it on your network.
Granted, they're not cheap, but they come with a full HTTP server built
in. They even have ones with remote pan, tilt and zoom. Here's a link
to one that has all that and is 802.11g to boot:
