Webcam viewer, by Antonio Germani - Joomla Extension Directory

Introduction

Image Modules, Multimedia, Slideshow, Weather, Streaming & Broadcasting

Do you have a webcam or IP cam and you do not know how to display it on the Joomla website page?
If your webcam can send images via FTP, this module is for you!
A module to put online the images of a webcam, expecially af a weather webcam, with a responsive mode. It shows the .jpg images that a webcam upload on your server. It works with PC, smartphone and tablet.


-Some webcams upload only one image every x minutes and the image has always the same name and the browser caches the images. This module fits for this! It shows the new image every time you load the browser page, without caching.
-Some webcams upload images with different name always on the same folder. This module fits for this! It get and shows the last x images that are on the folder.
-Some webcams upload images on a daily folder; every day a new folder. This module fits for this! It chouses the last folder uploaded and then comes in it, if there is another folder it comes in it again and then it gets and shows the last x images that there are.
-Some webcams do not show the day and time of the image. This module fits for this! It adds a caption with the day, the time of the image and, if you like, a short text also.
-Do you need to show only the most recent image of your webcam, almost as a real time but with some seconds late, but your webcam upload always images with different name? This module fits for this! You can show only the last image like in real time but with some seconds late.
-Do you need to publish your webcam images on meteo forecast website but you need an image always with the same name and with the same url and your webcam does not be able to? This module fits for this! (that needs a cron-job)

And, if you need to see more than one webcam on the same page at the same time there is a way to do this too.
The modules is plenty of settings and mode to show your images.
It is fully responsive and it fits in smartphone or tablet.
For a better aesthetic result, you can choose between 3 styles of css and you can choose two transition effect, fade or slide.
2 backend languages: English and Italian
Finally a perfect and simply way to put on line your webcam!

Please, take a bit of time to see the demo page and to read the documentation page.
