HTTP server with streaming Webcam image from Joggler?
Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2011 12:08 pm
Hi all,
I've been alternating between the native OS and the Ubuntu 10.10 image from a USB stick, but i was wondering if anyone could recommend an easy way to stream my Webcam from the joggler, so that I can view the image on a simple web page in any browser, elsewhere on my LAN or beyond. (Something like YAWCAM, which is a Windows only program I think.)
I have a camera which is just about UVC compliant and does show an image in VLC in Ubuntu on the Joggler with a bit of coaxing.
I've tried streaming this image with VLC, but with no success. (Possibly because I can't see the whole of the VLC options page on the Joggler screen, and am missing something because of this.)
Can anyone recommend a simpler way to do what I want? I think the Joggler would be ideal as a nice quiet webcam server.
thanks!
