Transmitting a webcam's flux to the Internet: how?
Hi, Many cities/special places, etc., have `live' webcams which allow Internet users to see these places `live.' This is often achieved thanks to hosting websites, etc. I'm here asking myself how I could, from a device (not necessarily a traditional computer), send the webcam flux to the Internet. Say that I can capture the flux, in a given format, this flux being constituted by one image taken every x second(s) (where x - fluidity ). Then, how could I transmit it to the Internet? How do live webcam generally work? I did not find anything on the Internet about this. If one finds a pointer, I'm okay to read more. Thanks. -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP.

Well, IP cameras usually provide an embedded web server to distribute the flux directly or a facility (a client) to send the streaming to an online service. Standard (USB) webcams require a bit of manual tweaking. Say that I can capture the flux, in a given format, this flux being constituted by one image taken every x second(s) (where x - fluidity ).

You can take a look into camstream or webcam-server, both available for Lenny :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Transmitting a webcam's flux to the Internet: how?
Hi, You didn't find anything on the Internet? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=linux+webcam+streaming I assume your 'device' is running some *nix variant, in which case it doesn't seem that hard (i've never tried it, i'm just judging by the search results). However, snapshots every second are not what i'd call a live feed. In that case, as a suggestion, just use the same file name for every snapshot and have an html page with a meta refresh. There are more elegant ways, of course. HTH, Nuno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
