Greetings all. I have some websites that I have got with some businesses I have just bought. I would like to have a webcam on a couple of them. Is this something a fairly technical minded person can do or is it something best left to the professionals ? I have asked on the local Samui forum if there is anybody that could give me some lessons on keeping the sites updated but a big fat zero. I thought with the amount of people pushing web site design here etc it would have been easier to find. Evidently not

Cheers in advance :jap:

I have no experience with webcams (althoug I do webdesign for few selected people) but I know it's quite simple.

Enough guys on here for who it's peanuts and who have free time (and a working permit, lol)

Actually I need similar, a series of cams in my shop that I can view online (or record) to keep an eye on the staff etc.

Very short...

IP cameras (not just USB webcams) is easier because they usually have an embedded webserver, so it is just to connect it to the LAN and give it a static IP and configure the authentication and other stuff.

If you want to reach it from the Internet and not just from the LAN you need to setup IP forwarding in you router and you need a dynamic dns server to keep track of your routers WAN-IP and connect it to a URL.

If you want to display the picture on an existing web pager you can just include it in an iframe, img tag or make some fancy javascript to pick it up...
