You just need a webcam and an application to grab and upload an image from the cam.
Take a look here for some apps that do just that: http://camportal.co.uk/?page=soft&type=win32
I'd recommend either Dorgem or Fwink as they're nice and simple to use

Once you've uploaded the picture with whatever app you're using, then put this into notepad, and save it as "webcam.html" or something similar.
change cam.jpg to whatever filename you used. Then upload it to the same folder as the webcam image.
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>webcam</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<img alt="Loading Image..." title="WebCam" src="cam.jpg" />
</div>
</body>

It updates as often as you upload the picture, if you want the page to update you can add this
in between the <head> tags.
Code:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="SECONDS HERE" />
example
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30" />Hi Speedy_B,
I have followed your instructions regarding a webcam portal...and all seems to go ok......but for some reason its saving the pic to a temp folder and the only way I can browse to it is by
ftp://<username>:<password>@ftp.argyleparktaxis.co.uk/webcam/webcam.jpg
If I use http://www.argyleparktaxis.co.uk/webcam/webcam.jpg
I get a 404......
I have set the CHMOD to 777
When I ftp to the webcam folder its empty....
Hard to explain heres a couple of pics

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone.
Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
