Add Webcam functionality to custom web page

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.webcam (More info?)

Hello all. I'm a bit of a newbie here so I apologize in advance if I
sound clueless.

I'm trying to create a custom web page (ASP) that can show a live,
streaming webcam. Preferably, I would like to use the Logitech Orbit
and have some software on that page that controls the camera as well
(its for general remote surveillance purposes). I'm trying to avoid
using the standard remote software that comes with the hardware becuase
you can't have it integrated into a custom web page (which is very
important for this application).

Here's the setup I'm imagining:

1. Camera is hooked up via USB port to a computer at the remote site.
Software** on the machine is allowing other computers on the Internet
(like my web host provider) to view the camera.

2. I code an ASP page on my web host that shows this stream as well as
other information that we need.

** I put "Software" since I figured I probably will need some sort of
web-server on the machine hooked up to the camera but maybe there is
some simpler method of a program that runs that isn't a true web
server????

If anybody knows any good software that can accomplish this, I'd really
appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Mike Smith
