Webcams
I have a client who is wanting a streaming webcam with audio to run on thier website. I need any helpful info regarding this subject .. I have no idea how to do it whatsoever. Any tips on ways to achieve this VERY CHEAP ? or if not very cheap then try to give me something I can use for this application. It has to be streaming Video with Audio as well.
Thank you!
WTONY!

http://www.webcamxp.com/ this is a wicked program, I use it personally, can output as flash, java or javascript. Has gallery/chat/everything. Can even handle multiple video/audio streams from one PC.

Yea but even if I find the software , how will it get into a webpage LIVE ? with audio ? And will I need a special server to serve it , right now im using a server with unlimited bandwith is that ok ? or should I ask them before i do streaming video ? does it take up alot of webspace in MB ?

How streaming do you need it? What kind of user base?
The webcamXP can be placed on any website with a simple Java applet, served from a home PC.

I need it streaming very fast , like T.V but even more important is the AUDIO.
WebcamXP sounds like it might be the right thing for me.

Oh, and you might also want to look into: Nullsoft's new streaming video/audio think Shoutcast but with video. Client side needs Winamp5.x+ though I think.

If you want the stream to be live, you'll need to use a special streaming server. You might want to check out Darwin from Apple. It's open source and based on Apple's commercial software, so it's free and portable and industrial strength.
