|  #1 Posted on 1.8.05 1526.24 | Instant Rating: 5.21 | I have purchased a webcam (Logitech QuickCam) to provide live shots from within our college radio station. Can anybody give me DETAILED instructions on how to get this thing going? I have basic HTML skills, but I can't figure out how to do this. Any help is much appreciated.

The instructions in the box are three small sheets in length and only describe how to use this camera with MSN/AIM/Yahoo messengers. It does not describe how to set up a continuously refreshing webcam that someone can access via a web page.
And I have googled this subject a million times and all I get is a bunch of webcams for Cindy/Betty/Suzy/Taylor the 19-year-old bisexual college student from wherever. I need real help. Wikipedia didn't have anything, either.

I was helping a friend do a similar thing, and we found it via Google. I think he got everything up and running, I never bothered to really check
EDIT: FYI - Google "Webcam Web Page Setup" and you'll get a whole bunch of similar stuff, from the super detailed to the basic.

That said, you need to do the following:
* determine if you want to do a single still shot at a time, a recurring interval, or streaming video
Well, really, you need to stop there. The instructions get very different from that point forward.
