Watching Broadcast
If the Remote Access broadcasting method is used, the ReCam program must be installed on the viewer's
computer in order to watch the camera. See more info about how to set up Remote Access in the Camera
Settings section.
If the HTTP Server or FTP Upload broadcasting method is used, viewers open a web page in the Internet
browser and watch the camera. This web page contains special code that is constantly refresh images from the
camera and simulates a live picture.
You can prepare the WebCam web page using any HTML editor you like.
Fortunately, ReCam has its own tool to prepare simple Web Camera web pages.
Web Page Creation Wizard
To open the Web Page Creation Wizard, select Create Web Page from the Tools menu.
Web Page Creation Wizard helps you specify a title for your web page and change other attributes, such as
background, text color, and upper and lower captions.
Web Page Creation Wizard creates the web page HTML file, and uploads the page's files to a folder or to an FTP
server where your web page must be.
Your web page folder must contain the WebCam_Viewer.class file. This file uploads captured images from the
Web Camera and shows them in your Internet browser.
How to add WebCam to your own HTML text
Just add the following code to your HTML text:
<APPLET CODE="WebCam_Viewer.class"
WIDTH=640 HEIGHT=480>
<PARAM NAME="COLOR" VALUE="#00FF00">
<PARAM NAME="IMAGE" VALUE="capture0.jpg">
<PARAM NAME="BORDER" VALUE="ON">
</APPLET>
Modify the COLOR parameter according to the color of your web page.
Change the IMAGE parameter according to value in the Image Name box in the Internet Setting dialog
box.
