web cam?

Is there a way to connect a digital video camera to IIS so that I can set-up
a "web cam". I have a EZCAM III from Ezonics. Thank you!

Fair enough. Can you recommend a group? I was told by the camera
manufacturer and their device could function as a "web cam" but that I'd
need to procure or develop server-side software to drive it. I thought I
would have to write ASP code of some kind. I guess I'm wrong. Please advise
if you can.

Thanks...

You ought to ask the manufacturer what exactly they mean by that, or refer
to your documentation. It could be the camera just takes pictures and saves
them to a directory, in which case you can set that up with IIS and ASP to
be a nicely shared webcam site. or it may function completely differently.

Well, it *may* need ASP but nobody could tell you specifics without a
lot more information. The type of information the manufacturer's
support would have for example.

If this is similar to other cameras that don't have a specific web cam
application, I think all it will do is make an image on a timed basis,
then you can either send that image out in the same manner as any
other image or create a script to list the images in a folder for
viewing. But those are answers you need to get from the manufacturer.

That's the first thing I tried. Here is what the www.ezonics.com tech
support person told me:

"If you have a program that will do that. The camera does work on the
internet."

then I asked how I could do this on an IIS web server, and he said they
don't have any information on this. That's why I came here to see if anyone
has tried this.

Jeff,

I agree with you, but since the manufacturer www.ezonics.com isn't willing
to help, and says they have no information to provide, I think I wasted my
money buying their camera. Thanks anyway!

They don't sound very helpful. Is that all they had to say?

Did you get documentation with the camera? is it the kind that just saves a
file to the hard-drive on a schedule, or does it stream constantly? does it
come with bundled software? I'm completely in the dark here, but I'll have a
look at their site and see what I can see.

OK, I've looked at the site, and it looks like there's software bundled with
it that can capture periodic images to your hard drive.

you can then use these images however you want. do you want to serve the
pictures from the same machine, or from a proper web server? if you want to
serve from your own machine you can just point the cam capture application
at an IIS directory, or create a virtual directory pointing at the cam dir.
then you can simply write an ASP script which will grab the latest image(s)
and display them.

I don't think full-motion video will be a goer with that camera though.

Jason,

Perfect! This is what I'll do. I'll just have to camera take incremental
shots, store the images in a directory, and set-up an IIS web pointing to
the folder so I can see them. I'm not looking for full motion video.

Thank you very much.
