What is a Webcam?
A cam, homecam, or webcam is a video camera, usually attached directly to a computer,
whose current or latest image is requestable from a Web site. A live cam
is one that is continually providing new images that are transmitted in rapid
succession or, in some cases, in streaming video. Sites with live cams sometimes
imbed them as Java applets in Web pages. Cams have caught on; there are now
(we estimate) several thousand sites with cams. The first cams were positioned
mainly on fish tanks and coffee machines. For travel promotion, traffic information,
and the remote visualization of any ongoing event that's interesting, webcams
seem like an exciting possibility that will become more common as users get
access to more bandwidth.
