I have an amazing location for a webcam. My office looks out on one of the most popular beaches in Canada, White Rock Beach. My particular location looks directly down at the historic White Rock pier.
I would like to set up a webcam so I can enjoy the view even when I am away from my office.
I have attempted to set up the cam using a hand me down Vista PC Toshiba laptop and a Logitech Quick Cam. Nothing but hassles, and still it does not work.
I live a Mac ecosystem and trying to configure this machine made me fully remember why I switched to Mac in the first place.
I have high speed internet and unlimited bandwidth and would like to run medium resolution images. I plan to have a static html 3 web page hosted on my shared server. Simple as can be.
I am willing to buy a dedicated computer and cam for this project - I was wondering what hardware spec should I be looking for for the macbook and the cam.
What is recommended software to encode and stream?
I also have a Chromebook that was given to me s an option as well.
Thanks,
