Welcome
to the Webkaz
& JavaKazCam page. Webkaz is a program that allows to grab
images from a video source and upload them to a website throught FTP protocol.
JavaKazCam is an applet that can display on a web browser the images
sent by Webkaz. Used together it's possible (and fairly easy) to broadcast
live images on the web.
Currently
both programs are in testing phase.
Webkaz and JavaKazCam can both be used at no expense and cannot be sold (at
least without my authorizarion 8).
Enjoy,

The
program's settings are kept in the plain text file named webkaz.cfg
(the password is also in plain text !). You may choose to
provide the password only at connection time, in that case
it will not be stored in the configuration file. |

You
can help setting up a web-camera by sending a prepared webkaz.cfg
to place in the directory where Wabkaz is located (don't replace
the config file while the program is running !). |

While
uploading, a temporary JPEG file is created on the current
program path. Webkaz doesn't erase that when closing. |

JavaKazCam
|
 |
|
| 1- |
Unzip
and read the jkc_readme.txt file |
| 2- |
Place
JavaKazCam.jar in the directory of the web-page where you
want to insert the applet. |
| 3- |
Insert
the following piece of HTML code anywhere in the body of the
page that will run the applet (you need
to substitute the URL value with the one for your site and
path !):
<applet archive="JavaKazCam.jar"
code="JavaKazCam.class"
width="320" height="240">
<param name="URL" value="webkaz_picture.jpg">
<param name="RELOAD_INTERVAL" value="10">
<param name="FADE_INTERVAL" value="3">
<param name="SHOW_TITLE" value="YES">
<param name="SHOW_COUNTER" value="YES">
<param name="SHOW_MESSAGES" value="NO">
</applet>

The
fading effect is pretty computationally intensive. Make sure
that the browser that is displaying the applet is running
a good Java VM. In some cases the JIT (Just In Time) compile
option could be disabled in Internet Explorer.. in that case
the applet will crawl ! |
|
| - |
Sometimes
only shows a black screen ! In that case you need to hit "Reload"
on the browser. |
