How do I set up a web cam?

[brookend_ratty]

Now I have a logitech web cam which I can use with Messenger, how do I set up
a web cam in my website?

how do I set up the webcam to take and save a picture every 30 seconds (or
whatever) and to ftp it?

No, I bought Logitech because I thought it would be industry standard and the
salesperson, like you, assumed it would contain webcam software. It doesn't.
It only refers you to "preferred sites" which offer the software; there is
only one, CCCam (or somthing) which actually will sell you a hosting place
for a monthly payment and then give you the software. I can't imagine it is
vastly difficult to
set up something on my own webspace. I've Googled it of course but haven't
yet found either freeware or shareware or advice or code which is complete
enough for me to use; is there something I am missing? I'd be glad of any
advice.

try www.tucows.com and download the CoffeeCup WebCAm software (it is
shareware/trialware) for 21 days or whatever and is then available for the
usual small shareware cost.
