Here is an application.
Web cam is in operation (either IP cam or non IP cam). Subscribers can login and view the display.
What are u going to display.
So the detailed project report is as follows:
Background: Had seen web cam based services in US day cares/play schools many years ago for parents to keep an eye for their kids. Today's Eco times has a watch-your-ward type article on page 22.
Taking off on that, The project is to, provide an low cost yet effective infrastructure for such a service which schools can implement without increasing the fees 5x times.
As though they need an excuse.
The concept would be.. IP based camera linked to internet service. uplinks to a remote server. Video stream of reasonable picture quality.
To be cost effective u would require one cam per room - ideally two - connected to a pixelview card in a piii box (depending on number of connections) wired to ADSL with permanent ip. Grab snaps every few seconds and copy to /var/www/classroomXY. Mom n pop connect via gprs to watch the shenanigans . Max cams = 8 in snap mode. Regular ccd cameras. With a p4 an plenty of ram 32 cameras in snap mode.
Subscribers can log in where they can watch their child's webcam. But they should pay for the use on a bandwidth usage basis.
Usable live video is too bw intensive. Especially if ther are more than one user connecting.
