What Is a WebCam??

The answer is quite simple: a Web page which hosts images or even live video streams served by a digital Camera attached to a computer. Thus, a WebCam.

The WebCam technology has now become quite popular since WebCams first hit the World Wide Web. In the past, only a few had the technology and the resources to keep a camera refreshing an image 24 hours a day and face up to the high costs and other serious problems. Now, for less than $100 and an Internet dial-up connection, you can set up your own camera on the Internet.

If you surf the Web, you'll discover thousands of different places and people that have setup a WebCam for online viewing. You'll find cameras pointing to beaches, gardens, offices, parking lots, bedrooms; some of them will be user-controllable, some of them won't; some of them will be black and white, some will be in color; some slow, some fast.

Leaving fun aside, you can also use this (relative) new technology for remote surveillance systems, monitoring events/places and broadcasting live events!
