Does this plugin support ip-cams?

I don't think so. The camera needs to show up in the Windows control panel under scanners and cameras.
IP cams wouldn't I guess.

I understand that if you want to use IP cameras, you should use the "My Radio" system. It is capable of playing IP TV so if the cam uses the same protocol then it should work.

I look forward to teleconf features!

I've been experimenting with remote viewing of a webcam image.

Of course, I am using Linux to do this. There are several programs: Webcam and Canorama are the two that I have tried. You can have the image accessable thru the internet, with Firefox. (Internet Explorer won't work with it)

This is what you need:

A Linux computer (with webcam connected) running the Apache HTTP server program.

A static IP address, or a way to find the current dynamic address.

The webcam program would be running on this PC. This PC must be on all the time, with access to the internet, or it is possible to have the webcam image available in the directory of another server.

I have tried this with my home PC, and it works. But I am not ready to run a server from my home. There are multiple security issues that need to be addressed when you have a server open to the internet.

Here is the guide that I followed to do this. It is for Debian Linux, but I used its' sister distribution Ubuntu.
