How to REBROADCAST the web cam?

Hi... I am currently doing the web cam broadcast on web page.
As i got suggestions from few expereiced experts in this forum, i've created the stream retransmitter to transmit all the received stream to clients.
Now, the point is, how the retransmitter get the receiver's IP(Client)? When the web page visitor clicks on the link, how to notify the server side retransmitter progeam that a new participant has just joined the session?
Thanks for all help.

Oic.. But i just hope that if someone who have tried this project before, can kindly give some hints on it.
So, should the program be running inside the cgi-bin?
Thanks anyway.

How to view video from a friend's web cam?

Hello,
A friend of mine from oversea is broadcasting a wedding through a web cam. I have a G3 pismo adn I am just wondering how and if I can view the wedding this coming weekend? He gave me the IP address and password, but I could get to the site becuase he uses a PC. Please help.
Thanks,
Earl

this may not help, but try upgrading Mac OSX to 10.4 (Tiger), it gives smoother integration with Windows systems.
It could also be a firewall problem.

What kind of web cam is compatible other than the built-in one

I want to start my own web site. I need an external web cam that is compatible with Mac. I tried running Windows to use the Logitech I already have, but it won't broadcast in IM. Where can I find a cam compatible with Mac?? I also need the cam to have motorized tracking. THANKS!

Hi, you would need a driver to operate an external camera. I recommend [Macam|http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net>.
There is also a list of [compatible cameras|http://www.google.com/url?q=http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/cameras/i ndex.php&sa=X&oi=smap&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=2&usg=AFQjCNGtq9tHA-D04jkVgBYNak0Ul_ m2Sw] on the Macam site.
I have never tried using this with an iSight-equipped MacBook, but I can see no reason why it will not work. Let us know if you manage.

G530 and built in web cam working not under W7

I upgraded my OS to W7 a few weeks ago. I paid for the upgrade DVD from Lenovo directly. When I received the DVD they also provided me with a CD of the drivers that I need. When I run the exe under the cam directly I get an error message letting me know that the hardware does not exist. I have tried the online version of the driver and I get the same error message. I can see the camera in the "Devices and Printers"
Is there anyone out there that can help me with this issue. I need to cam for Skye with family in Australia.

Since posting my original issue, I have found that the web cam is actually working. I am able to do video chat in Yahoo messenger and Skype. I am also able to broadcast out via sites like Cam4.
I did find a really great substitute for the EasyCapture program. I found the program 'WebCamMax" http://www.webcammax.com. It is not free but it is worth purchasing. It gives you a lot more special effects than EasyCapture does.
I hope that this has helped.

Camcorder as a web cam

I have a need to use my Panasonic HDC-SC700 as a web cam in my MacBook Pro 15" (2010 model). To be more exact I need to broadcast video with it to Adobe Connect.
Panasonic has no Firewire but HDMI so in a nutshell, what do I need to make the combination work? Panasonic has drivers for Windows but not for OSX.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Anyone?

Web cam live ultra

how do i got to a web site and broadcast my cam ?

You would have to provide more information than you have. Are you trying to use your web cam with an Instant messenger and if so which one. Have you checked to make sure the camera is installed properly and seen by Windows. What version of Windows are you using. List everything pertinent.

Web Camera aplicative Satellite L505 S6946

hi!
i'm Marco Zanutto, and i won a laptop Satellite L505-S6946 and i needed to execute an update.
I couldn't , after the update, make the camera work. I've been helped by a friend to execute the download of the aplicative directly in the Toshiba website, but i can't do it.
I need someone's help, please!

I just bought the Sattellite L505-Es5015 system unit a couple of weeks ago. Being overseas, it has taken me a couple of weeks to set-up and install everything on the computer. Up until I installed the bios upgrade from Toshiba, the webcam worked fine. Now, it will only broadcast a picture of a tree. Not sure what that is from, but what gives? I got this update notification through the built-in toshiba bulletin board, and now I can't revert to the older bios. I have windows 7 x64. I need a solution.
The image you see of the tree is probably due to the "screen cover" being activated. It is set in the Start --> All Programs --> Toshiba -->Toshiba Camera Application --> Effects --> Screen Cover tab. Ensure the Screen Cover option is set to Off (via the radio button).
The web cam launch program on my L505 series laptop is located under the Start --> All Programs --> Toshiba --> Web Camera Application. If the program doesn't run properly try downloading the latest version for your laptop on the Toshiba download site. Note: on my L505 this application also was initially installed on the left side of the menu (thin gray bar) and would hide itself until I moused over it with the mouse cursor.

How do i use my web cam, where do i go to, to get started

Can't figure out where to go to be able to use my web cam. Its not in my devices and printers area.

Firstly, uninstall the current version of Cyberlink Youcam and re-install it.
To Uninstall: Click Start >> type Programs and Features in search and select it from the list >> In there, select Cyberlink Youcam and uninstall it.
Once done, try using webcam with Skype or any other messenger you may have, or else re-install Youcam.
If the above does not work, do a System Restore to a previous working date when the webcam worked.
System Restore: Click Start >> type System Restore in search and select it any perform on-screen instructions to restore the notebook to a previous working date.
If none of the above work, open Device Manager, check if you have 'HP Webcam' listed under Imaging Devices category.
You would find the Product Number on the sticker in the battery compartment, will be similar to XT594PA#ABA.

Satellite L505D-GS6000
Perhaps you mean you have the Satellite L505D-GS6000? Let's try a reinstall of the main base drivers, then the webcam driver/app, one more time. Download and install these drivers in this order:
AMD/ATI Display Driver for Windows 7 (32/64) v8.634.1
Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 7 (32/64)(v6.0.1.5904)
Toshiba Web Camera Application for Windows XP/7 (32/64)(v1.1.1.6)
Then try the webcam again. Please let us know if it works, or if you get any error messages trying the above reinstalls. Good luck

Capture Web Cam image in APEX and Upload into the Database

Overview
By using a flash object, you should be able to interface with a usb web cam connected to the client machine. Their are a couple of open source ones that I know about, but the one I chose to go with is by Taboca Labs and is called CamCanvas. This is released under the MIT license, and it is at version 0.2, so not very mature - but in saying that it seems to do the trick. The next part is to upload a snapshot into the database - in this particular implementation, it is achieved by taking a snapshot, and putting that data into the canvas object. This is a new HTML5 element, so I am not certain what the IE support would be like. Once you have the image into the canvas, you can then use the provided function convertToDataURL() to convert the image into a Base64 encoded string, which you can then use to convert into to a BLOB. There is however one problem with the Base64 string - APEX has a limitation of 32k for and item value, so can't be submitted by normal means, and a workaround (AJAX) has to be implemented.
Part 1. Capturing the Image from the Flash Object into the Canvas element
Set up the Page
Required Files
Download the tarball of the webcam library from: https://github.com/taboca/CamCanvas-API-/tarball/master
Upload the necessary components to your application. (The flash swf file can be got from one of the samples in the Samples folder. In the root of the tarball, there is actually a swf file, but this seems to be a different file than of what is in the samples - so I just stick with the one from the samples)
Page Body
Create a HTML region, and add the following:
    <div class="container">
     <object id="iembedflash" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="320" height="240">
          <param name="movie" value="#APP_IMAGES#camcanvas.swf" />
          <param name="quality" value="high" />
          <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
          <embed allowScriptAccess="always" id="embedflash" src="#APP_IMAGES#camcanvas.swf" quality="high" width="320" height="240"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" mayscript="true" />
    </object>
    </div>
<p><a href="javascript:captureToCanvas()">Capture</a></p>
<canvas style="border:1px solid yellow" id="canvas" width="320" height="240"></canvas>That will create the webcam container, and an empty canvas element for the captured image to go into.
Also, have a hidden unprotected page item to store the Base64 code into - I called mine P2_IMAGE_BASE64
HTML Header and Body Attribute
Add the Page HTML Body Attribute as:
onload="init(320,240)"
JavaScript
Add the following in the Function and Global Variable Declarations for the page (mostly taken out of the samples provided)
//Camera relations functions
var gCtx = null;
var gCanvas = null;
var imageData = null;
var ii=0;
var jj=0;
var c=0;
function init(ww,hh){
     gCanvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
     var w = ww;
     var h = hh;
     gCanvas.style.width = w + "px";
     gCanvas.style.height = h + "px";
     gCanvas.width = w;
     gCanvas.height = h;
     gCtx = gCanvas.getContext("2d");
     gCtx.clearRect(0, 0, w, h);
     imageData = gCtx.getImageData( 0,0,320,240);
function passLine(stringPixels) {
     //a = (intVal >> 24) & 0xff;
     var coll = stringPixels.split("-");
     for(var i=0;i<320;i++) {
          var intVal = parseInt(coll);
          r = (intVal >> 16) & 0xff;
          g = (intVal >> 8) & 0xff;
          b = (intVal ) & 0xff;
          imageData.data[c+0]=r;
          imageData.data[c+1]=g;
          imageData.data[c+2]=b;
          imageData.data[c+3]=255;
          c+=4;
     if(c>=320*240*4) {
          c=0;
          gCtx.putImageData(imageData, 0,0);
function captureToCanvas() {
     flash = document.getElementById("embedflash");
     flash.ccCapture();
     var canvEle = document.getElementById('canvas');
     $s('P2_IMAGE_BASE64', canvEle.toDataURL());//Assumes hidden item name is P2_IMAGE_BASE64
     clob_Submit();//this is a part of part (AJAX submit value to a collection) two
}In the footer region of the page (which is just a loading image to show whilst the data is being submitted to the collection [hidden by default]) :<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#processing3.gif" id="AjaxLoading"
style="display:none;position:absolute;left:45%;top:45%;padding:10px;border:2px solid black;background:#FFF;" />If you give it a quick test, you should be able to see the webcam feed and capture it into the canvas element by clicking the capture link, in between the two elements - it might through a JS error since the clob_Submit() function does not exist yet.
*Part 2. Upload the image into the Database*
As mentioned in the overview, the main limitation is that APEX can't submit values larger than 32k, which I hope the APEX development team will be fixing this limitation in a future release, the workaround isn't really good from a maintainability perspective.
In the sample applications, there is one that demonstrates saving values to the database that are over 32k, which uses an AJAX technique: see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/packaged-apps-090453.html#LARGE.
*Required Files*
From the sample application, there is a script you need to upload, and reference in your page. So you can either install the sample application I linked to, or grab the script from the demonstration I have provided - its called apex_save_large.js.
*Create a New Page*
Create a page to Post the large value to (I created mine as 1000), and create the following process, with the condition that Request = SAVE. (All this is in the sample application for saving large values).declare
     l_code clob := empty_clob;
begin
     dbms_lob.createtemporary( l_code, false, dbms_lob.SESSION );
     for i in 1..wwv_flow.g_f01.count loop
          dbms_lob.writeappend(l_code,length(wwv_flow.g_f01(i)),wwv_flow.g_f01(i));
     end loop;
     apex_collection.create_or_truncate_collection(p_collection_name => wc_pkg_globals.g_base64_collection);
     apex_collection.add_member(p_collection_name => wc_pkg_globals.g_base64_collection,p_clob001 => l_code);
     htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := TRUE;
end;I also created a package for storing the collection name, which is referred to in the process, for the collection name:create or replace
package
wc_pkg_globals
as
g_base64_collection constant varchar2(40) := 'BASE64_IMAGE';
end wc_pkg_globals;That is all that needs to be done for page 1000. You don't use this for anything else, *so go back to edit the camera page*.
*Modify the Function and Global Variable Declarations* (to be able to submit large values.)
The below again assumes the item that you want to submit has an item name of 'P2_IMAGE_BASE64', the condition of the process on the POST page is request = SAVE, and the post page is page 1000. This has been taken srtaight from the sample application for saving large values.//32K Limit workaround functions
function clob_Submit(){
          $x_Show('AjaxLoading')
          $a_PostClob('P2_IMAGE_BASE64','SAVE','1000',clob_SubmitReturn);
function clob_SubmitReturn(){
          if(p.readyState == 4){
                         $x_Hide('AjaxLoading');
                         $x('P2_IMAGE_BASE64').value = '';
          }else{return false;}
function doSubmit(r){
$x('P2_IMAGE_BASE64').value = ''
     flowSelectAll();
     document.wwv_flow.p_request.value = r;
     document.wwv_flow.submit();
}Also, reference the script that the above code makes use of, in the page header<script type="text/javascript" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#apex_save_large.js"></script>Assuming the script is located in workspace images, and not associated to a specific app. Other wise reference #APP_IMAGES#
*Set up the table to store the images*CREATE TABLE "WC_SNAPSHOT"
"WC_SNAPSHOT_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
"BINARY" BLOB,
CONSTRAINT "WC_SNAPSHOT_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("WC_SNAPSHOT_ID")
create sequence seq_wc_snapshot start with 1 increment by 1;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "BI_WC_SNAPSHOT" BEFORE
INSERT ON WC_SNAPSHOT FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
SELECT seq_wc_snapshot.nextval INTO :NEW.wc_snapshot_id FROM dual;
END;
Then finally, create a page process to save the image:declare
v_image_input CLOB;
v_image_output BLOB;
v_buffer NUMBER := 64;
v_start_index NUMBER := 1;
v_raw_temp raw(64);
begin
--discard the bit of the string we dont need
select substr(clob001, instr(clob001, ',')+1, length(clob001)) into v_image_input
from apex_collections
where collection_name = wc_pkg_globals.g_base64_collection;
dbms_lob.createtemporary(v_image_output, true);
for i in 1..ceil(dbms_lob.getlength(v_image_input)/v_buffer) loop
v_raw_temp := utl_encode.base64_decode(utl_raw.cast_to_raw(dbms_lob.substr(v_image_input, v_buffer, v_start_index)));
dbms_lob.writeappend(v_image_output, utl_raw.length(v_raw_temp),v_raw_temp);
v_start_index := v_start_index + v_buffer;
end loop;
insert into WC_SNAPSHOT (binary) values (v_image_output); commit;
end;Create a save button - add some sort of validation to make sure the hidden item has a value (i.e. image has been captured). Make the above conditional for request = button name so it only runs when you click Save (you probably want to disable this button until the data has been completely submitted to the collection - I haven't done this in the demonstration).
Voila, you should have now be able to capture the image from a webcam. Take a look at the samples from the CamCanvas API for extra effects if you wanted to do something special.
And of course, all the above assumed you want a resolution of 320 x 240 for the image.
Disclaimer: At time of writing, this worked with a logitech something or rather webcam, and is completely untested on IE.
Check out a demo: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=trents_demos:webcam_i (my image is a bit blocky, but i think its just my webcam. I've seen others that are much more crisp using this) Also, just be sure to wait for the progress bar to dissappear before clicking Save.
Feedback welcomed.

Hmm, maybe for some reason you aren't getting the base64 version of the saved image? Is the collection getting the full base64 string? Seems like its not getting any if its no data found.
The javascript console is your friend.
Also, in the example i used an extra page, from what one of the examples on apex packages apps had. But since then, I found this post by Carl: http://carlback.blogspot.com/2008/04/new-stuff-4-over-head-with-clob.html - I would use this technique for submitting the clob, over what I have done - as its less hacky. Just sayin.

Capture an image using the web camera from a web application

Hi All,
Could anyone please share the steps what have to be followed for capture an image using the web camera from a web application.
I have a similar requirement like this,
1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.
Please share the details like, what can be used and how it can be used etc...
Thanks,
Suman

1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)There's not really any good way to do this with JMF. You'd have to somehow create a JMF web-start application that will install the native JMF binaries, and then kick off the capture device scanning code from the application, and then scan through the list of devices found to get the MediaLocator of the web cam.
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.You'd probably be displaying a "preview" window and then you'd just want to capture the image. There are a handful of ways you could capture the image, but it really depends on your situation.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.You can find out how to do this on google.
All things told, this application is probably more suited to be a FMJ (Freedom for Media in Java) application than a JMF application. JMF relies on native code to capture from the web cams, whereas FMJ does not.
Alternately, you might want to look into Adobe Flex for this particular application.

Portege R835-P56X web cam application stuck on screen

So hi peeps, Ive had my Portege for almost 3 years, and this problem just started in the last month or so. The application menu that is hidden off screen and slides out when you put your mouse there is stuck on screen, will not go away, and remains on top when other programs are running. Its extremely annoying! There's no error message or anything. Has anyone else encountered this problem? And if so, how do you fix it?
TIA!!
