![]() I've tried all sorts of chat widgets for my webcam page, but none (for me) has ended up being better than CGI::IRC, which is a Perl-based IRC server in a web page. This is Java, but works reasonably well even on lower-powered systems (but definitely not as lightweight as mjpg-streamer). On Windows, there's no shortage of webcam applications, but a simple free one that gets the job done is Yawcam (Yet Another Web CAM). ![]() It's a bit "raw" in that it's not packaged into system packages (that I know of) but it's actually a pretty slick lightweight program for having a live streaming camera. MJPG-Streamer is another great tool for Linux. You can have it generate recordings of activity on your camera that can be reviewed later with a simple PHP script. Motion is a motion-detection and recording camera application for Linux. I thought it might be fun to go over the technology involved, or at least the pieces that I've chosen for myself over the years.
