I'm trying to set up my webcam so it streams live video (and audio if possible).

So far, I've managed to implement an HTTP server (HFS), and an image capture program (Dorgem) to capture an image every 2 seconds, and a webpage for it to refresh every 2 seconds. It works, but it's not fantastic.

I'm looking for something that can enable me to stream live video from my PC, and be able to access it from any other PC connected to the internet.

I'm with Be, so I've got over 1.5mbps upload, and a static IP, so there's no real issues there.

Anyone know of a program that can do what I'm after?

Cheers.

Edit: Yes. Wecbam. Jesus.... ¬_¬
 
It depends what you want, I work in cctv so for things like that we'd use an actual cctv camera, and a video codec. This'd give you steaming video (all you'd need to do is forward the nessesary ports), most of these have a web interface which you could link to, assuming your doing this off a your website or something...Most of them stream in H.264 compression so you'd end up with pretty much realtime video and audio.

I realise this hasn't answered your question but it's another solution, it all depends on what you want it to do and how much you want to spend.
 
Windows Media Encoder lets you stream a captured video. You just point your media player to the ip address of the encoder to pick up the stream. Its unicast only though, so you'd be limited by the amount of connections. If you want multicast, you'd have to send the stream to a media server and then connect to that.
