I’d like to show a webcam inside a browser without any server interaction.
Everything should happen client side with minimal plugins usage.
This would replicate most default webcam software bundled with the cam itself.
You would need a plugin for each major browser (or an active x control for IE) to communicate locally with the phone. Because of security, you can not interact with local devices in a browser.
You could however write a little server that runs on localhost and serves a flash or mpeg stream. Then it would be easy to link that webcam to a web page running on the same computer. This would not require any plugins, but it does require that you write a http server to talk to the cam and serve its stream to the browser.
