WebCam Templates
Sample templates to put your WebCam site up and running in 5 minutes!
It's time to build up the Web page that will host the images captured by your WebCam.
Here are some sample and simple templates you can grab and modify to fit the appearance you want for your site. From the easiest to the hardest templates, you can choose the desired image refreshing method (refresh your own memory by rechecking our Make It Live! lesson if you need to!) and customize it to fit your own needs. Click on the PREVIEW option to see the desired effect and then click on the GET THE HTML CODE option to retrieve instructions and the HTML code itself. You'll have to modify some parameters, save it with a name.html and then upload it to your web hosting provider.
When customizing the contents of the templates, remember that world time zone will directly affect your image broadcasting. It would be a good idea to provide a time table of WebCam operation, specifying somewhere your own Time Zone so other users in the rest of the world can successfully see you on-line, live!
Finally, we're assuming the image size captured by the WebCam is 320x240 (width x height), so you may need to modify this into the HTML code <img src=""> tag. Refer to an HTML guide or to the WebCam Support Forums for assistance on the usage of the templates.
The Templates: choose your flavour!
