Simple Web Cam App
|
|
|
| Hi There,
We are looking at setting up web cams in our enclosures. I would like to
propose to do this with FMS as it will allow us to have a lot of control
over the application and not have it come through as a media player
streaming file. We can also utilize FMS for other applications as well. I
would like to see/find a simple web camera app running off FMS first, so I
can set one up to present. The other issue I need to get around is we have
multiple enclosures set at large distances apart, so we may have to set up a
server (with separate licenses???) for each enclose (proving to be an
expensive option, which can be backed by sponsors if needed). Because as far
as I know FMS does not work with I.P cameras. If so each server would then
host 2 or 3 cameras for that particular enclosure.
So in summary:
Is there any simple web camera apps I can see/download to test?
If we had separate servers for each enclosure, would we require individual
licenses for those servers?
Is there a smarter way to do this and still use FMS? Or would we be better
off just using I.P cameras, cutting the costs but loosing our end user
control?
Thank you in advance for your help and feedback
Regards Bruce

| For testing, you could always hit up the macromedia site... er... adobe
site and go through the example they provide in the docs there. That
should get you up and running pretty fast.

You're right about the IP cams.
In terms of locations of your enclosures you can run all of the cams off one
server as long as that server is reachable either over the internet or an
intranet. But each enclosure would need a client machine of some sort (could
be a laptop) with the camera connected. That client needs to run your
broadcasting app which in turn connects to your one central FMS and streams
its feed.
If you still wish to deploy several FMS boxes then yes, you'll need a
license for each one.
