iGoogle widget for webcam?

Question

Does anyone know how I can best stream a webcam through an iGoogle widget?

My ideal is to actually be able to stream locally--that is, get a widget that allows me to display my computer's webcam. Is this possible?

(No, I'm not that vain. I'm using a webcam as a Security Camera, and I'd like to be able to view it, streaming, on my iGoogle console as part of an array of useful, automatic widgets that are being displayed on a wallmounted flat screen monitor.)

Answer 1

Flash is likely your best bet here as it has everything you need already, however you could just use one of the many already available services and build a widget for it. My personal preference is uStream.tv

Answer 2

Does iGoogle Widget allow iframe?

If yes then you can virtually use anything.

Answer 3

Yes, thank you. It occurred to me last night that iframe was my meal ticket. It works like a charm.

Thanks!

Answer 4

If you want to record videos using your webcam, althouth not live video, you could use the Nimbb API. Hope this can help a bit.
