NetSnap ^® Features

NetSnap is a feature rich utility that allows you to publish live images from your  Windows compatible camera or capture card,  to the Internet. Some of the key features include:

Built in HTTP server

The built in HTTP server allows you to transmit live images to anywhere on the Web. You can include the images on a web page or view them directly, even if you do not have your own web pages. Every time you reload the image, you will get a newly captured image. This allows you to monitor locations where changes are more frequent. NetSnap also features a web-server to serve standard web pages. The Netsnap/PRO version supports HTTP image serving and streaming for more than one camera.

Streaming video

Streaming video support for NetScape and MS Internet Explorer allows viewing of constantly updating images. No plug-ins required on the browser end!

Web Server included

The NetSnap server supports serving of HTML web pages incorporating live images from the connected camera.

Password protected HTTP server

Images sent from NetSnap may be protected with a Username/Password combination to restrict the viewing of images.

Upload images via FTP

If you have a web server or use a web hosting service, you can use the FTP client service of NetSnap to upload current images to your web site service. The upload frequency is configurable and may be as short as every 5 seconds. FTP is supported on single camera only.

Direct LAN or PPP Dial-up Support

You may use NetSnap with a full time LAN connection (such as when you have a permanent Internet connection), or with the Windows 95 dial-up support. The announcer service feature of NetSnap takes care of dynamic IP numbers so you don't have to worry about obtaining static IP numbers from your ISP.

Scheduler
