CodyCam

CodyCam is the user interface for a simple video camera. You can do either real-time viewing in a desktop window or FTP still frames from the camera to a Web site. In addition to a mini-cam you need a video capture card.

From the application window go to Video Preferences in the File menu. The four tab panel you'll see is the same as the one in the Video Input section of the Media preferences. Settings you make in one are reflected in the other.

Capture Controls
In this section you can name your video file, choose a file format (which will depend on where you want to use the file), and select a Rate - how often the camera takes a new picture.

FTP Setup,
Type in the address to the server you want to FTP the file to, along with login, password, and directory information. Keep in mind that username and password are sent uncrypted, and can therefore be picked up by other.

The Passive FTP checkbox is an option that allows FTP connections to succeed through firewalls. Many firewalls block inbound connection attempts in order to protect an FTP site. Rather than find blocked sites one at a time, you may want to keep Passive FTP permanently.
