Our primary Connectix camera is the Color Quickcam. The Color Quickcam
captures images in 24-bit color at several resolutions. The camera is surprisingly
fast, considering it sends all data through the laptop’s printer port.
The Color Quickcam can be used to capture both still images and digital
video. Perhaps the most interesting application of the Quickcam is the
ability to use it as a "video voyeur" device. Applications exist
which will capture an image from the Quickcam at regular intervals and
upload them to the Internet. This way, you can have a constantly changing
image on the web which shows a live view out your window, or of your fish
tank.
