Hi,

Is there a way to have the plugin access a servers webcam and have it display that image over the web application as opposed to using the users camera? Im trying to create a web application for video surveillance and I wanted to just have a feed of the servers cameras to display for the user, whether it be a still image or live video feed, ill take either.

Im kind of new with ASP.NET and JQuery in general, so if you could kindly explain it to me in simplest terms (without omitting anything) as to how I should approach in doing this. I want to be able to do this through ASP.NET Web Application, or if really possible ASP.NET MVC (I know this is harder). If possible, could anyone point me to the right direction as to how to integrate these things (step by step preferred).

Kind of TL;DR, I need a way, even if its not JQuery Webcam Plugin, to implement a video or still image feed of the SERVERs cameras, so that any user can access and see THOSE cameras as opposed to their own webcams. I would like to put this into a ASP.NET web application or if really possible an ASP.NET MVC Application. Any re-directs or feedback and/or suggestions to approach this is appreciated. Remember, this is for a video surveillance program, but for the most simplest terms I just want to be able to see a feed from the webcam (I dont care if its still image or video feed). I just want this to be able to have a video feed for use in a mobile site or web application. The point is to make a web application and have it compatible with a mobile device.

Most of the questions here are how you can enable the USER to take a picture from their own webcam and save it onto the server, but thats not what I want. Ive done some similar searches around (but most are outdated or pertain to the usage above that i dont want).

Since i want mobile compatibility i kind of want to shy away from silverlight (unless it is compatible with the everyday mobile phone).


Also writing this in C#.

Thank you.
