[Cialug] Streaming USB webcam video

[Tom Sellers]

I have my camera uploading a still picture to my web page using FTP on a timed basis but when it does so the security permissions are changed from 666 to 600 and the web server will not display the picture until I manually change the permissions back to 666.  How do I keep this from happening?  I am using the same user account to FTP that I use to change the permissions.

Has anyone streamed video from a USB connected webcam so that you can see that webcam video from anywhere on the internet?  I have tried a couple of different programs but neither seems to work as I expected.  I tried a product called TinCam and the other I forgot the name. Maybe someone can save me some time and agrivation by pointing me in the right direction.

I've been using Flumotion to stream a video feed of DMACC's wind turbine very successfully:

http://streaming.dmacc.edu:8800/wind-turbine/video.webm

I'm pulling the video from a Axis network camera, but works just as well as with a USB webcam (assuming the kernel has good support for your webcam).

If you need a flash applet for playback I recommend Flowplayer:
