Webcam Set-up
This page is used to configure one or
more cameras as ‘WebCams’ – i.e. the
images are made available to a web
server for use on web pages. The
selected cameras will be uploaded by
FTP to a Web Server for viewing by
anyone who has access to the server
on the Intranet or Internet.
A sample WebCam page for viewing
the images is distributed as

pcbin \ webcam.html on the DV-IP.
