I’ve been using Webcam32 since… 1998 or so. Anyway it hasn’t been updated in years and it’s not working very well anymore for me–especially for streaming. It seems to dislike WinME.
What I need is another software that will do **all** of these things:
- let me FTP an image every X seconds to my own webserver
- let me stream video that I can embed in my own web page on my server
- let me use an image overlay
- let me add captions and position them where I want.
- ability to show “last 10 images” (or whatever number)
Anyone?

Not sure if this meets your needs Opal, but worth a look-see.
