hi, i am setting up my server so that it takes pictures from the camera. is there any prorgams that can take pictures every second or half a second? is there any that can also record the video to a video file at the same time? a bit like the microsoft snapshot power toy but my camera does not want to work with it.
thanks
What type of camera is it? If it's a web cam or something similar, then it usually comes with software to do that type of stuff. If it's a digital picture camera, I don't think it's possible because all you do is access the flash card via the camera's card reader, you can't control them (Unless there's a newer model I've never seen)

Hope it helps a bit
It is a webcam and i think the microsoft program is made for digital cameras. It did but it takes quite a bit of ram.
Nah, the Microsoft one is for webcams, but I could never get it to work either. What is the make/model of your webcam, most of the bigger name brands include software that does all this for you, I know Creative does for a fact.
It came from Argos and cost £20 and was on Buy-One-Get-One-Free. I Don't know who actualy makes the camera. It has survailance software with it but it is one of those ones that dont work that fast.
Try looking it up on the internet. The manufacturer may have released a newer version.
I could make it a little more advanced because i was going to get a plain html page to display an image and refresh every five seconds but i could use windows media encoder and windows media server and stream it from the client so it is live. i can also set it up to save the encoded content to a file. I would have to encode it at a low bit rate because of the space on the harddrive but it should work quite good.
Yes, as long as you can get the Windows Media Services to detect it, it should work just fine.
