How do i do this? Im just after a refresh rate every 30 seconds,not streaming cus i image that would cost a bit.
So can someone give me some info on how to do this cus i want to link it (thru my website if possible) so its viewable from my t610
Cheers,
boyi.

youll need to have some form of webcam software uploader thing
i use conquercam which i think is the best.
and then, in a normal html webpage:
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="30; URL=http://www.url.com">
will refresh it every 30seconds, just change the URL/value as needed, and slap it inbetween the <head></head> tags
not sure about how it would work on wap though
edit: just found this:
Those of you who have some experience from the web environment will most likely have used the <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;http://somewhere.com/"> tag to force a browser to load a new or the same page. Although some META tags are supported in the WAP environment, a much better way of doing the same thing in WML is to use the <ontimer> tag. The following piece of code will force the browser to load another deck after a certain time. For the example below, the deck will jump to another deck called nextdeck.wml.
Code:
|
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">
<wml>
<card id="splashscreen" ontimer="nextcard.wml">
<timer value="40"/>
<p>Please wait for the timer to run out...</p>
</card>
</wml>
|
|
The following piece of code will force the browser to reload the same card after a certain time. For the example below, the deck file is called
loop.wml.
Code:
|
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">
<wml>
<card id="loop" ontimer="loop.wml">
<timer value="40"/>
<p>This text will be shown over and over again...</p>
</card>
</wml>

Thx mixin,its more of a one shot view from the t610 than having it to refresh on it,from another PC is where i'd like to have it refresh,but you knew what i meant did'nt you
Does this software cost anything in the link you gave me,just in case i missed that bit

there is a trial version, that just like winzip, seems to last forever

That must be the beta version i can see,ta
With my site being web and wap do you think i could use that code you posted,and what state does the PC have to be in? On all the time or can it be in standby?
Remember i'm new to this poo!

you could prob put both codes i posted in, and it should work fine...
You dont need your PC on all the time, cos all it really doing is uploading a static image every 30seconds. You can set it to upload a offline image aswell, so when you shut down your computer or the software, it will upload the offline thing

Thanks a lot anyway,gonna install that sw now

Im still stuck here anyway,instead of a refreshing page every 30 secs i get an error pop up 'unable to create directory',every 30 secs
I must be doing something wrong on my webpage cus im sure everything is correct in the program,ftp settings etc.
Usually when linking an image you put where its coming from in the url,in this case im not sure what to put
