Description:
Danovitsch Webcam is a small HTTP-server running at port 8000 (or any other desired port) which spits out live images from a brooktree capture card on demand.
It also has a X11 interface (just a live video window, but it works :)
I wrote it for FreeBSD, but I am pretty sure it could run on other *BSD's after some minor changes to the header files / include files...

Have a look at this webcamserver running : Look intro my room, and control the room-lights :)

I started working on this software more than a year ago, but I think it is time to release something, since it is working to my full satisfactory at this moment.
(I don't really think the code looks very pretty, but it works very well...)
V1.0 released @ 2001-10-29
V1.2 released @ 2002-02-27
V1.3 released @ 2002-07-14
V1.4 released @ 2003-07-02
V1.5 released @ 2003-08-21

Features Danovitsch Webcam has at this moment:

All capture card settings are adjustable through a web interface

Server statistics via web interface

OSD (On Screen Display) with user defineable text

X windows preview window

Commandline option to turn off preview window (-nox)

Todo list :

Make a config-file reader to get various options from, instead of using hard-coded values for everything

Write a README :)
