[Gllug] Linux based Doggie-CAM

Fri Mar 21 09:28:45 UTC 2003

no idea how the logitech webcam works

i've got a axis 2100 network cam and i fetch images using a bit a php (with
html)


<html>
<body>
<?
    system("wget http://192.168.1.xxx/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi? -O
image.jpg");
?>
<img src="image.jpg" border="0">
</body>
</html>


not the perfect solution, but works very well (unless you have a few
viewers)
