Webcam Streaming

[DOlsson]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone can recommend an application for live web streaming of my webcam. I have Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000. Have the drivers all installed and it works great. I just don't have any software to stream this mug of mine over the net.

I used to have a similar program for PC, but that was ages ago. Any advice?

Thanks!

I think you can do that with iChat.

That would mean I have to create a AIM account of Yahoo messenger.

I just want a streaming application...

Thanks tho!

Well, what website do you want it to stream to? I suppose you could set something up in Quicktime Pro...

Do you just want to have it broadcast to a website for anyone to visit and see what you are up to, rather than chatting with them specifically? what are you charging?

How about VLC?

Just want to broadcast it to someone so they can see what I'm up to that sort of thing.

The last program I had on PC was basically a personal server. It used your IP address as the address for the webcam and people just went directly to that. No need for a static webpage or anything.

VLC ought to work for you, then.

I've been trying to do the same thing to use as a security type system for my room. VLC can't do the webcam thing on OSX. Atleast, it's not listed on the features page and I can't figure out how to.

Quick Time Broadcaster. It can seem a little tricky to setup but it has a good help section.

If you don't actually need video (i.e., photos are fine) for security purposes, I like EvoCam. It's relatively cheap and pretty powerful.

Thanks! Great looking solution, I should have thought to look to Apple.com first. Plus, it's free.

I tried to use evocam to use my machine as the host, and it wasn't loading on any other computer I tried to access the webcam on, which I thought was weird.

That is odd.

I've used it on numerous occasions to upload motion-detection pics to an FTP server (when on vacation) as well as other uses, and never had any problems.

Just tried webcam feature (never used it before) on my MBP. I see it fine on the MB. Perhaps you have router config issues?
