Could I (one days) install a camera webcam on my popcorn hour??

If the webcam requires drivers, working over USB for instance, it would take some time to get implemented (if ever, but it's a really cool idea!).

But if you have a webcam that transmits supported video formats over IP, for instance Axis http://www.axis.com/products/cam_207, then you could use it already now.

Note I have not tested the linked cam so I can't tell for sure if it works.


It would be nice to find a networked cam in WS, though.

Plenty of Routers running on MIPS processors, using Linux with USB that can do webcams, so it should be possible to install the needed drivers and software on a PCH. A router is maybe half the price though and much easier to update the kernel, etc.

I don't understand...

what would you use the webcam for ?

[gounne23]

For viewing from work to home or/and watch inside/outside!

where I lived last years, I had a camera. I recorded several odd person in this corner. I remained on the first floor.

The people odd, there was much too much of it!

And it funny!

So has anyone tried to get a webcam stream on the popcorn hour?

I have an Axis 2401 video server.
Here's some of the code that displays the video stream on a webpage:

Code:

var output = "<A HREF=\"http://10.1.1.25/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?imagewidth=352&imageheight=288&center=\" TARGET=\"Trash\">";
output += "<img SRC=\"http://10.1.1.25/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?camera=1&resolution=352x288&";

Should this work?


Thanks!
