erm actually a static images that updates every few secs would be best methinks

best way to do tat would be to get some software...
i use conquercam which i do believe is the bestest.

http://www.theill.com/ConquerCam/download.asp?id=27b3
theres a download link for a new beta version, so it'll be free

then you just have to go through the options and config to set it to upload to a certain place on your webhost.

Then on the webpage, you can either:

a. Have a java applet that holds the image and refreshes
b. set a meta tag on the webpage to refresh the whole thing every 5 seconds or so.

personally i prefer b, cos java sucks monkey pooh.

Mixin helped me make one 2 years ago and was gonna keep it on to monitor my flat while I was in the UK but then I thought that keeping the PC on for over 2 months wasn's a good idea!
