The Methods

There are several ways of presenting your images on a web page.
Which method you choose will depend on how you wish your images
to appear to your audience and the resources you have available.

Server Push

Server push technology is the most impressive yet least utilized method
of webcam display. Server push allows the images to appear as "streaming
video"
within a web page. These images appear as live feed.
The limiting factors behind server push technology would be:
1) your computer must allow for outside access which causes security issues.
Anyone that is behind a firewall will not be able to use server push for
their webcam.
2) you must limit the amount of kilobytes in the stream otherwise a
never-ending
stream of bytes will eventually crash the viewer's browser.

FTP

If your web page is located on a remote server, as most web pages are, then
you will
need to FTP your digital webcam images up to your server in order to display
them in
a web page. The webcam software programs listed above all contain methods
of capturing
the digital images and FTPing them to your server.

Direct Server Access

If your web page and webcam are both located on the same computer then you
can have direct
access to the images to be displayed. Your webcam software can save the
image files locally
and your web page can point directly to these local images to display them.
