Hi. Maybe I could be wrong on some aspects, installed a webcam server
long time ago.
1) Xawtv has a webcam program. This generates a image every certain
time.
2) The image is uploaded via ftp to some directory
3) You must use the below html code to refresh your page every certain
time, similar to the first one.
4) A USB cam uses all USB bandwidth from a USB controller (dont
understand why). You cannot connect two USB cams to a single USB
controller. MUST have a card with two controllers if want to have two
cams. If you do not expect quick image changes, the solution is to turn
cam 1, get the pic, turn off 1, turn on 2, get the pic and so on, but im
sure its very slow for your needs.
Hope being useful. Follows HTML code. May the force b wit u.
