How to integrate a webcam into website baker

I don't have any example.
You can create a wrapper section and include a ready HTML page with the webcam output by entering the URL of the html page in the adress bar of the wrapper module settings.

You can create a code section and use PHP for including pictures or code output of the webcam.

You can install the code2 module and add HTML sourcecode to your site for adressing the output of your camera.

Question back: do you have already a webcam running? What and where's the output of it?

 What do you mean by "using a wrapper section, a code/code2-section " ?
Any example ?

Hi,

there's no out-of-the-box solution. Depending on the webcam software the pictures are just ftp'ed into a directory on your server, or HTML-files are created, or a JAVA-Applet is needed...

the easiest way is either the integration of the sources generated by the webcam using a wrapper section, a code/code2-section (type HTML with an iframe pointing to the webcam files), a droplet.
