JPEGCam: Capture Images From A Webcam & Submit To Any Server

20 Dec

JPEGCam is an open source Flash + JavaScript library that enables you to insert a custom-sized Flash movie in a webpage that captures Webcam snapshots.

After capturing the snapshots, it can submit them to any server in JPEG format (download package includes sample PHP 5 code).

The webcam is activated with the Flash movie which includes a full-canvas camera control with no flash user interface elements. User can decide when to take the snapshot & click a button to do it.

Every control for displaying the Flash device configuration panel & taking snapshots is handled from Javascript which makes:

controlling the user interface
using your own buttons and layout

possible.

Requirements: No Requirements (demo requires PHP 5)
