What is the best free software

Post by darc »

What is the best free program to get a webcam working on your web site I have a usb webcam I just
need the software and url/ for the cam that for a free server is realiable I know most free ones have
some issues but what do you think the easyer setup the better ? I was looking at Yawcam but from what I have been reading that comes with a lot of problems I may be wrong what do you use.

Yawcam or Fwink are the two main ones think, there is a developer on here making a new programme, not sure of the time scale on that though.

I've not heard of FWink....I use WebCamXP for one of my cameras, but the main one uses YAWCam
