I need to find someone who knows how to program for Windows. There is a serious lack of a good webcam software, as I’ve found recently in my quest for a new one. The only decent one around was written by Neil Kolban, but he sold it to the ever-useless Surveyorcorp, which hasn’t updated it since 1999 or 2000. It has some serious problems with the newer versions of Windows.
There is a market for good webcam software. I’m in a position to reach [yes, literally] thousands of webcam operators, so someone writing a new software app would have a good market for it, not just lil ole me.
Anyway, I also know what webcam software needs to be able to do, and have access to a lot of people who could give good input.
Anyone? Anyone know anyone? Anyone feel like learning? hehe
Q.E.D. I really can’t afford to pay, but I can offer to create a website and promote the crap out of it.
Here are the features that are needed:
ftp at specified intervals
ability to specify ftp host and other info
ability to specify image name
ability to apply an overlay over the image
streaming video capability (jpeg push)
ability to embed streaming video into web page [webcam32 uses a java applet for this]
ability to add and position multiple captions
ability to add code into the captions to display things like time and date
ability to rename images on the ftp server in order to display a “last 10 images” type page.
Bonus “would be really cool” feature:
relay server on the webserver that allows a stream to go to the server first, then from there to individuals, rather than everyone making a connection to my machine, eating up all my precious bandwidth.
Webcam32 has all of these features except the “bonus” one, but it’s a POS program and barely works on WinME. It has to be run in “win98 compatibility mode” on XP.
