823032 2009-10-22 08:52:00 I am involved with a sports club that is using a very old HP Win ME comp to periodically upload a snapshot coming from an oldish video camera to their web site via FTP .

The software doing it is ISPY but it looks doubtful that it will run on the club's new Win 7 64 bit OS . (We really do want to retire that HP before it dies!!) .

The video lead from the camera goes into a little box and it comes out via a USB cable to the PC . Naturally, there is an ethernet cable to a network switch as well .

Wondering if there is a recommended prog (preferably free!!) that would do this . Yawcam has been mentioned previously . Would this work perhaps?? Guess a lot depends on whether the software can read the provided USB input . Not having much idea of the USB input I am a bit lost .

823033 2009-10-22 09:52:00 Yep, I was just gonna recommend Yawcam (www.yawcam.com). It's free and worked on Vista so is worth a shot. Requires Java (JRE 6+) so keep an eye out for that. sal (67)

823035 2009-10-23 08:11:00 +1 for Yawcam, although it has crashed randomly when I had it running in W7 RC, haven't tried in the RTM. Blam (54)
