I've had requests to integrate live video from a video camera into a presentation. I've help coordinate this before, but it seemed cumbersome. The live feed needed to be grabbed, encoded, and streamed to a webpage. Then the sign pointed to the webpage.
Does anyone know of a better way to add live video from a video camera into a placeholder?

Not I. All I can think of is the webpage option.Comment

Alex, I've given this some thought as well. I have a client who has a resort on Lake Michigan with a high-end Canon IP camera overlooking the beach. I haven't integrated their "beach-cam feed" yet, but I am hoping to soon. I've also quoted a few other resort type of projects and considered this.
This particular client had a third-party company work on their camera project and bring the feed into their website. I'm hoping to contact that company, give them the resolution I'll need, and have them setup the feed to a specific webpage at that resolution, and throw it into a URL gadget.
I think that using an IP-based camera is the only decent way to get this accomplished (vs a non-IP camera that needs third-party encoding).
I don't have the info in front of me, but I remember seeing that a few of the leading IP Camera companies offered web-hosting for their cameras, which would probably be the easiest way to set it up (using the URL gadget).
I looked for another way a while back, but after getting a headache from all of the confusing technical info, decided that a straight IPcam>Web>URLgadget is probably by far the simplest and most efficient way to get live video into a presentation.
Let me know if you figure anything else out on this though...-
Btw, is this an "always-on" scenario or more for specific events?

A gadget that will take live video feed from usb camera attached and display it in a window.
The person can then touch a button and take a pic, then email it somewhere or post it on facebook, etc.
For use with an interactive touchscreen.

wow..i thought i posted an original idea! It's neat to see others needing this gadget.
I do have one idea...you could use VLC stream capabilities to stream the camera feed to the computer that it is attached to.
My problem is getting the gadget to save and redistribute it. -

i used to do something similar a while back using nullsoft NSV (winamp) into the browser. Is flash not an option for a USB camera? -
