Set up Your Own Webcam
These days, web cameras are everywhere. Your friends have one, maybe your office or the university that you study in also do. So, you decided to finally go with the crowd and get a camera. Now that you have it at home and connected to your computer, you probably wonder: "How do I make this thing show a picture online?" We are here to explain.
Setting up your own web camera is easy: all you need is a computer, the cam itself, webcam software which will do the broadcasting, and an Internet connection.
Streaming Video vs. Still Images
The first decision you have to make before putting your camera live is if it will show streaming video or still images. If you have visited a webcam directory such as OnlineCamera.com and looked at a few cams, you have most probably noticed that some of them show a continious stream of live video, while others refresh the page in your browser and show a different picture at a pre-set time interval. The first flavor, the streaming ones, are without doubt more attractive to a viewer, but can you support such a camera? If you have a broadband Internet connection, and you can afford setting aside much bandwith for your camera to stream, the answer is yes. If not, you'd better stick with the still image camera - that will make the proccess lighter for both you and your camera's viewers, and such a connection can work without problems even if you access the 'net through a dial-up connection.
