predator12341 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi all, what i want to do is enable a webcam video stream through php. However i dont no where to start and just wondered what do i look at, do i need to use ffmpeg to achieve this or can i do it another way. The webcam will be attached to the pc running the script and i just want it so i can set up a live video feed (or maybe a jpeg is created every 10 seconds) for security purposes. Any help is greatly apprechiated. Regards Mark PS once i get a grounding of what to do i intended to write a tutorial so people can have ago and tinker with it.

predator12341 Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi all, I have been looking into this a bit more and have found out PHP is really not designed for it lol. So i am going with flash and flash media server 3 developer edition (its free ) so i will take in the stream with that save out a jpeg and refresh a feed on a php page (so even if a user does not have flash player on there pc they can see an image that updates ever 10 seconds). I will keep you posted on my developments.
