    Webcam server software...

    Anyone recommend something so I can host a streaming webcam on my server (preferably free??) to watch my new puppy while I am at work?

    p.s. - Here's the puppy...

    Didn't you get software with the webcam to do that? It's been awhile since I set one up, but it was free from some place called Camerades.

    Most webcams will come with some sort of software to do this... if you haven't already bought the webcam, a network-based cam may be something else to consider.

    Forget the puppies... lets see some webcam vids of Kelly.

    And what's up with that KellyGirlBeads website? You couldn't find the time to help her out with it?

    gerbick - I will be using that software again, but this ended up being a much better alternative to leaving the laptop setup in the kitchen (puppy room) all day...

    I had the DCS-900 (non-wireless version), and it broke on a car trip (long story) - apparently doesn't take much abuse at all.

    Video was OK, but the Java applet sucked. The ActiveX version was better, and I even wrote a custom VB app to pull images for custom stuff ...
