Operational Overview
Webcam32 is supplied as a Windows 95/NT application which captures images (upon
request) from your video capture device. These images are then converted into a JPEG
encoded form and sent to the requester of the image over TCP/IP (the Internet or
intranet).
Webcam32 can act as either a Web server capable of sending video images or as a proxy
server for a CGI program.
Additionally, Webcam32 can be configured to upload JPEG images via FTP to a Web
server. These images can then be accessed through HTML web pages through HTML IMG
tags.
If used as a Web Server, Webcam32 need only be started and then HTTP requests submitted
to Webcam32 will result in a formatted HTTP response containing the image being sent back
to the browser. Webcam32 has a fully configurable port number and hence can coexist on the
same machine as regular Web Server without port number conflict.
