The valid protocols are http, https, ftp, and gopher. For example, to list an ftp proxy, a valid string would be:
ftp=ftp://ftp_proxy_name:21
where ftp_proxy_name is the name of the ftp proxy and 21 is the port number that must be used to access the
proxy. If the proxy uses the default port number for that protocol, the port number can be omitted.
Click the Additional Settings button to change extra FTP parameters.
Image Name
The program uploads captured images to FTP server under this name. If you change the Image Name, be sure
you've changed appropriate parameter in the webcam's web page. For Java applet it is the IMAGE parameter. If
your Web Page doesn't use Java applet, change the SRC parameter in the <IMG> tag.
See Creating Web Page for more info about Java applet parameters.
Wait for response
The program waits for this time for an answer from FTP server. If there is no answer, it interrupts the FTP session
and reconnects.
Disconnect after
If there was no activity during this time, the program disconnects from FTP server.
Image when WebCam is Offline
By default ReCam deletes the last captured image from FTP server when broadcasting are going to be stopped. If
you want the program to replace last captured image with your own image (for example, image with text: "I'll be
back"), click to select the Upload Another Image to FTP Server check box and specify the image file name in
the text box.
HTTP Server
Select the HTTP Server method if you want to broadcast captured images from your
computer. ReCam will run in your own HTTP Server on the port you have specified.
To watch the captured images, your viewers need to type the address of your computer
and HTTP port in the Internet browser, for example: http://63.236.73.147:8080 or
http://www.mycomputer.com:8080
Unlike Remote Access, viewers don't need to have ReCam to connect to HTTP server.
They can use any Internet browser to watch captured images, but this method
broadcasts at a lower frame rate than using Remote Access.
To run WebCam HTTP server

Click Broadcast Settings from the Settings menu.

Click to select the HTTP Server check box.
How does WebCam HTTP Server work?
When a viewer types the address of your computer and HTTP port in the Internet browser, the Internet browser
sends a request to your computer to obtain default web page. This page contains the link to the java applet, which
will be downloaded from your computer too. Once the Internet browser has downloaded the applet, the applet will
execute and start sending requests to your computer for captured images. The applet sends requests according
the frame-rate interval.
What do you need to run WebCam HTTP Server
Your computer must be visible from the Internet. If your computer is behind a firewall or proxie, you need to
configure that device so that the IP address and port you specified are not blocked.
If you plan to broadcast among computers in a Local Area Network (LAN), your computer and computers of all
viewers must have IP protocol.
Configure WebCam HTTP Server
In the Frame Rate box, enter how often you want the picture to refresh on the viewers' computers. To avoid the
"Off Line" color bars appearing on the client's computer, set the Frame Rate equal to the clients' network
