This > is my current setup and I find it to be less than optimal. We've had a lot of luck using bktr cards with camserv. It provides a built-in web server and some basic image filtering, and can do streaming JPEG (only works in Netscape/Mozilla.) > Are there any other options available? Is somebody working on support > for any newer (USB) webcams? http://ovtvid-bsd.sourceforge.net/ has a program for reading images from various USB webcams. It should work without patches now, but I know it used to require patches to the USB kernel code to make it work, and it didn't work at all on OHCI controllers, but I think that's been fixed. --=20 Chip Marshall http://www.chocobo.cx/chip/ GCM/CS d+(-) s+:++ a20>?
