Network Webcam

[David-Clifford]

Is there a webcam on the market that allows capture over a network
using a twain driver?

Quite right Christian, It is a capture from a webcam into a twain
enabled application. I can't place a webcam on the PC as it is a
Windows 2000 Terminal Server session. Win2k TS doesn't support USB
port redirection (nor does 2003 or Citrix for that matter).

Hi Mike, I think the demand was to "capture over a network using a twain driver". Though I did not ask the question I can imagine the purpose. Clicking refresh is fine for viewing pictures for a human... but importing an image using TWAIN may be the better way for any kind of software to directly import an image - it might be more easy to implement a TWAIN Import than to support special solutions like the axis net cam. So there will probably more software packages that support twain import than supporting import via http.

Hi Christian,

Ok, I'don't know any network camera with twain support ...
I thinks you will have to develop this solution ... a twain driver able to
capture a jpeg image from an http request ... it could interesting ...

I think you can also capture an image from an axis camera (sorry, i know
very well this camera ) with an ftp script software or make a push to an ftp
server from the camera ...

Best regards
