WebCam Setup:
A piece of computer software is needed to take the still image from the camera and turn that image into a JPG file and upload it to your Web server. The following setup was done using Evological CoolCam. Check Resources for other software suggestions.

To set up with a remote FTP server:
1. Set up a folder on the computer for the webcam images. To include the image in a web page, use the sample blank html file in the HTML folder of CoolCam or insert the image on your own page by using the <img src="webcam.jpg"> tag. Your webcam image should be named "webcam.jpg" and placed in the same folder on the computer.

2. Contact the person in charge of your server to request a server address to be set up with its own URL. For more help with the FTP server link up, see the Cool Cam User Guide.

3. Open the CoolCam application.

• Click on the Server tab - enter the URL for the destination image on your server, username, and password.
• The URL should indicate the same file indicated in your page's HTML file.
• Under Advanced FTP Settings, you can select Temporary File as the destination until the upload is complete.

4. Options tag:

• Select "Save image locally" and select the webcam folder you created.
  
• Determine how often you want the images to refresh.
  
• If you want the images archived, select the folder where the images will be stored. Under the Archiving Options, you can create a time-lapse QuickTime movie which can later be viewed or exported for viewing on a web page or in an email.
  

3. Click on the "Status" tab to verify that CoolCam is able to upload. The "View Image" button will display the last image captured.
