This talk of cameras has reminded me of a problem I've not yet been able to solve.
I have a Logitech Communicate STX ( ID 046d:08ad Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate STX )
This seems to work under v4l on CentOS 5.4. If I load xawtv (from rpmforge) then I can view the image from the camera.
But what I'd like to be able to do is have the image appear on a web page (maybe streaming video or maybe multi-part image using old-fashioned server-push web technology from 1995 :-)).
Anyone have any recommended tools for this?
Thanks!

I've seen such a setup at my dentist's office recently. He doesn't use an "average" webcam like the one sitting on top of my monitor, but rather a more expensive "internet cam" that can be accessed directly via an IP address. Costs around a hundred euros here.
Cheers,
Niki

Yeah, I played with such devices back around 1998/1999; we had one at work. Was very easy to use. But I'm trying to do this on the cheap, and not spend any more money :-)

Huh, webcam_server looks like a possibility.
Thanks!

I have used VLC for this (just for fun). This [1] might help.
