Did you have to do any custom programming with VFP, VB or other language or was it a matter of telling the camera (and software) which drive to copy the image to and then you are done?
>I completed my testing with the XRay Vision.
>I set up the XRay Vision to take pictures at every 12 sec and place it in a Web Page at every minute.
>
>The end result is a web page that has 5 pictures of the last minute. I can refresh the page and get the new pictures.

>BTW the XRay Vision software will work with other driver. You can have an ATI Video card that have Video Input and do the same thing with that input.

>>>>I am going to develop an app at work to allow people to see our sign-in board. I am going to point a webcam at the board, the take snapshots every 1 or so minutes then have a 486 running a VFP app, copy them up to a fileserver. People will point their browser to a webpage which refreshes each minute to see the board. The sign-in board is white with black letter (good contrast). It is about 2 metres wide and 1 metre tall. Printing is about 3.5 centimetres high.
