moved it to the more general webhosting forum.

I don't have a webcam myself, but do know people that do.

most of them use 3rdparty software to enable uploading the webcam images to a space on the web X times a minute

you can also setup your own webserver on your computer so that you will see imges updated more faster, but then you will need an isp that allows you to run servers on your computer.

The biggest problem will be the webhost.
free web hosts will detect that you are uploading images all the time and disable your account. paid hosts might count the traffic you use to upload, so you will have to extra pay for it when you cross the limit

Try installing the driver that came with the webcam, if it didn't come with one contact the creators of the webcam and ask them where you can obtain a driver, or if you have the driver, just install it, your computer will reocignize it and you can use it in things like netmeeting and MSN etc.

I KNOw how to instal drives and use the camera, i have been for about 3/4 years!
all i wana do is have a website with uploads from my webcam
i seen loads of sites with it, some people have their webcam watching a beach or building site, or weather. so i can look at website "X" on one day and see in america (im in uk) its sunny and hot, then wen i look at it later its night time
that kina thing.
i know how to use it on msn etc, thast simple
