I have a product, and would like to integrate into it the ability to remotely view a webcam.
The webcam would be something like
What we want is a camera running on one linux computer, with a java prog ( ideally a bean ) running on another displaying the picture, and controlling resolution/frame rate/pan/tilt/zoom/focus/whatever.
I'd LIKE to see the display part running as window in a web page, but we can do that step if required.
The transmit end must convert to a suitable resolution, we don't need 640 x480.
Then compress, but as of today MPEG4 seems to be difficult, so we'll take what we can get.
The receiving end must decompress, and scale dynamically.
If anyone can say "Oh that's easy" I'd love to know.
If anyone wants to try it, and would be happy to do it in exchange for a pile of kit, or beer tokens, do get in touch.
