HOW TO GET YOUR WEBCAM ON THE PAGE:

First you must be:
a) a participating member
or
b) female :)

Then you must:
a) have your webcam set up with a program that will upload a still image to an FTP site. (chillcam, webcam32, vision ge)
AND
b) have the image sized to 320x240
AND
c) update your cam AT THE VERY LEAST once every couple days

Then either:
a) use your webcam program to upload the image to your webspace (which must allow hotlinking and has good uptime)
or
b) ask me about my free webcam hosting server

THEN SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE

Flaming Peach is aesthetically pleasing.

Yeah, I spotted that too.

you guys make me blush :o

cooooooool, good idea moderators!

:suave:

Webcams - HOLY CRAP!
 

I only had the vaguest idea these were there, then I just idley decided to click and - woops! Naked people! I'm going to start clicking random things more often. But first I'm closing the door...
sk

I'm working on mine. If halx gives me some server space, I might have one up and running by this evening. Although there probably won't be much to look at until my girlfriend comes back from vacation :)

Yay, the more the merrier!

Ok, I've got mine up and running. Woohoo

Thanks to the wonders of iSight, I have a webcam set up. :)

I, for one, am very happy that Plummie got her webcam working. *wink!*

webcams are too slow but would be nice

Hey I like the web cams but why have it cause most of the time there not "on" you see the same picture for days??? There are only two maybe three that ever change.

Webcam games...
 

Maybe we could spice up the webcam section by gaming in it...

I've seen a game come by here called Tag...
Now let's tag each other via the webcam!

You could write on a piece of paper (like someone already has :) )who you are tagging... And they should respond by tagging someone else...

Would that work? Or are they too inactive?

Just a suggestion... I've got my cam setup, but I'm still getting used to it, so I'm not publishing it just yet...

Anybody have other suggestions?

That's a fun idea, but only half of the webcams are updated regularly so it would be a damn slow game of tag. :(

Hey all,

This is the first time I've gone through this thread in a while.
It's seems lots of you were thinking about camming and let's see,
the very beautiful flaming peach put hers up, as did tikki and Greg700--two fine looking masculine specimens.
Now what about the rest of you?

P.S. Tai Modan-- we need to see more of you!

My cam was up months ago and disappeared for some reason. Now, I'm not getting any response from Halx.

That doesn't sound like a good sign :( .

I know that I am not alone when I say that some of those cams are thehottest thing I have ever seen ....especially Plummie.

Aye, neither did i, but tht has it's reasons ofcourse, hehe.

You twisted my arm but first I need recommendations of good free webcam software that allows me to upload my webcam to the web.

WEBCAM HOW-TO (Cribbed from artelevision's earlier post in this thread.)

Any digital camera will work as long as it is seen by your capture software.
Inexpensive Logitech cams (from 60 – 100 dollar range are perfect).
Install the webcam software with as few options as possible.
You’ll be using another program for uploading your images.

Download webcam software, such as:

Chillcam from www.chillcam.com

or Webcam32 from www.webcam32.com

A trial version is available here:
http://www.surveyor.com/products/we..._info_eval.html

Install the software.

Settings:

You will be uploading (via FTP) still images at intervals (not streaming) to a server.

Ignore the software that came with the cam and use the webcam software you downloaded.

Start the webcam software with the cam connected.
The software should see the cam – recognize it – and display a cam image.
If it doesn’t

For Webcam32:
Go to file menu and select the camera as input

For Chillcam:
Go configure > Inputs > and select your cam as input device.

Now configure your FTP settings.
You are sending to an FTP Host (server)
It has an IP address of this sort: 123.456.789.123
It has an FTP login with a:
Username: xxxxx
Password: xxxxx

You will need to know the directory and filename you are sending to:
Such as “directory/filename.jpg”

You’ll be setting your image size at 320 pixels wide by 240 pixels high
Your upload time can be 60 seconds

For Webcam32
Use the Setup Wizard. It will step you through the setup process.

For Chillcam:
Go to Configure and input the settings as requested.

Select Main Event and click on “Enabled” “FTP” and “Capture 1”

OK
You should be good to go.

NOTE:
I’ll be editing this for clarity as the questions come in.
It’s intended as a way to get you started from scratch.
Good Luck!

DD, thanks!

My pleasure :) .

I'm having trouble trying to get all my different bits of Webcam software to behave.

I got chillcam working at one stage but then it stopped after messing around trying to install a Logitech utility.

The lastest download for my cam doesn't seem to like my old version of imagestudio. But the new download has better zoom tracking controls.

Busy tonight. I'll fiddle with it all again tommorrow night.

Techno nightmare week for me. Nothing wants to go smoothly.

Hey,
the web cans are pretty cool,
there is actualluy someone on i tlive now..

I need to get a cam.
The web cam that is up now is Thraryn, but I don t think it is Thraryn who is actually there it is someone else.

Do any of you who have web cams.
wave to each other and stuff

only if you share the smokes!

I don't really get it. None of the webcams seem to be on. They all have the same pictures on them -refreshed and repeated. Do I have to have a certain number of posts before I can see them?

The webcams are users who want to share. They update their cams whenever they get a chance.

This whole idea is way cool. I consider a lot of the cam pics to be a form of folk art. I love them

w00t, my cam is added.

now y'all can see me :D

right on, we do need more webcams

digital cameras are taking over

I love the webcams!
Wish I had one so I could share with the rest of you.
Keep up the good work.

omg its fred durst.

What webcam software is everyone using? I'm currently using Dorgem. Are there any better free ones?

I TOO, am curious about this information. I am racking my brain to find something that works better than the stuff I use.

old versions of chillcam,
www.chillcam.com
version 2.4.0 and earlier...

IMO they work better than the new ones

EvoCam for OS X for me.

http://www.evological.com/evocam.html

boorucam or something like that. no install needed and i just run it whenever i want. small and doesnt clog up ur pc.

Is there anyone ever on these webcams? I only lurk once in a while, but rarely see anyone on them. Am I missing something?

I was thinking the same thing. Not much changes.

Even our techno intelligent leader's pic has been the same for a week or more.

Are we still accepting new additions to the cams? Can a fat, bald guy also get his cam up? :|

well... I wanna buy a cam... I've wanted to for awhile now... whats a good one?? someone wanna let me know?? I'm online 24/7 and I guess the cam will be too ;)

now, this is the eternal question, isn't it?

In other (more cam-related) news, I have a cam for my PC, but no driver for a macintosh, so i guess i'm outta luck for now. Pity, that.

Anything by Logitech is supposed to be good. Also, cams by Creative are cheaper, generally, but about as good. Depends on the purpose and somesuch.

agreed, I have had a logitech for 4 years or so and love it

yeah I submitted my cam but never got a response... *shrug*

The very best webcam software EVER is ConquerCam. I even paid the 10 bucks for the full version (very worth it) and that includes lifetime free updates.

how much does a good webcam cost?

I could have sworn your cam's been up for at least a day or two now.

I used Conquercam a couple of years ago, it was the best at the time, while the picture quality sucked a bit and the thing crashed now and then, but for the most part it was awesome. Wonder how it is doing nowadays...

I'm not sure, haven't kept up with the market in a coupla years, but I would say a decent web cam is between 15 and 40 bucks, depending on the deal you get. You can spend more of course, but in my experience having a web cam is rarely something that turns into a hobby you want to pour money into. Go with a cheap one and if you still wanna "cam" in 2005, think about upgrading.

How can you see who's on their cam.?

hmmmm....maybe I'll regret this but:

http://oregonstate.edu/~FordJu/mycomp/webshot.jpg

That's my webcam, kinda freaky right now but i'll update it soon.

Ya, but don't get a cheap logitech like we did. I think next we'll invest in a nice quality Creative cam for just $60.


Ok, I need to find a place to host ours, now..........WE NEED MORE CAMS UP IN HEA!

It's not about voyeurism, its just a thing. You just take like one picture every couple of days of you doing something hilarious, or with something you just bought and want to show off... whatever. You can be creative, like these townfolk

teh funnay!!

I have a $30 creative cam. And i thought it was gonna be all cheap and ghetto, but it turned out to be a pretty clear and good cam.

I wanna webcam each and every one of you bastards,I'll be prepared in less than a week. Fucking meow.

looks like i am gona have to set up my webcam again

Just shaking the ready-to-cam-but-needing-a-nudge tree to see if anyone new is out there...

There's an empty slot at position 18 - and a whole empty row after that.

OK - thanks, crackprogram, for jumping in to the empty slot.

Now, ...to fill the next row(s)!

not a prob ARTelevision, I love taking pictures of myself being a fool! :lol:

I'm up for this. I'll have to wait till I register my webcam FTP software though. Not a big priority at the moment, but stay tuned! :)

i dont know how to get it online

Are these down?

i didnt kno u can have web cam on here

I Guess so!
