Question

I need a way to put a live web cam video on my ASP.NET application.

I basically want answers from people who have done this before. What is the easiest and most cost-effective way to accomplish a simple web cam feed? Technically, it does not have to be streaming video (although that is the preference).

I could settle for an image that refreshes every few seconds.

Answer 1

• You could use an Axis Web Camera which has an embedded webserver. This would probably cost a bit more than a cheap PC web cam but supports web streaming directly. Unfortunately, this would not scale well as the embedded webserver can only handle a few concurrent connections.
