NetCam XL
Keep in mind that the overhead of FTP doesn’t allow for the same
update rates that you see when accessing NetCam directly with a browser. It
is safe to say that FTP restricts 320x240 uploads to once every 1-3 seconds,
even on a DSL or cable connection. 640x480 images will probably not
upload faster than once every 3-10 seconds.
Default:
30
Upload Window
NetCam can upload images 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or you
can set whatever time window and days of the week you like. Use military
time for the beginning and ending window times.
Example: You can configure NetCam to only upload Between 07:30
and 18:30 only on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
How do I display the live image on my web site?
The simplest way to add the live image on one of your web pages is
with the image tag:
<img src=”netcam.jpg”>
To see the current live image, the visitor would have to hit the refresh
button. This reloads the web page and will display the current live image,
assuming a new image has already uploaded.
You can add a meta tag to the
<head> section of your web page
that tells the browser to refresh the web page at specified interval:
<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”30”>
If you prefer a slicker solution that doesn’t require refreshing the whole
page and visibly redrawing the live image, StarDot provides a free Java
applet. You can download the Capture Client Java applet and instructions
