android6011 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I have a webcam and I am looking for an easy way to stream it. I have the server setup on the same computer as the webcam, I just dont know if I am going to have to use third party applications to help in the streaming or if I can code something out. ive never done anything like this so any help or information would be great. thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/55109-stream-webcam/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 This really is a client side problem, hance, Id'e be looking at a client side solution. Maybe ActiveX or Flash, but there not really alot PHP can do to help.

android6011 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 thats what i thought. i just knew i can use php to control applications, so i was wondering if there was a way to tap into the camera feed. :/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/55109-stream-webcam/#findComment-272427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
smc Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 No, not really PHP's game. I mean you could probably use some kind of socket connection to tab the web cam, but it has no way of really streaming it, thats more Flash. Now if you have a webcam that sends pictures every few seconds and saves that picture to file you could use PHP to access it and display that image, but not stream.
