Need some help "Live Webcam programs" Anything is good.
 

I am new at this; setting up a live webcam on a paysite. My searches for readings on the subject were nearly fruitless. I have the servers and a ccbill account. The tech end can't be that hard.

Why I find it difficult building the variables togther is freaking me out. Any information-links-advise would truly be appriciated. Thanks:)

why not just let cams.com do your program support? skin your paysite.

For software I'd suggest this...

add a Winnov capture card and a Cannon VCC camera and you are good to go

Though an option a little too busy for me, but thank you.:thumbsup

depends on what you want to do - the simplest way is with Windows Media -
any decent host should have a Windows Media server or can set you one up - the model just uses Windows Media Encoder software to send her video stream to the server where it gets broadcast. if you're charging by the minute - that can get more complicated if you want it automated - if you don't need it automated the member can send the girl an email or IM to set up a time for the show, he goes and pays for a block of time through CCBILL.
there are off the shelf cam systems like Firecracker if you want something fancier and are going to have a bunch of models working - Bluewire Studio also has a Flash based cam system that looks very good - I'm told LiveJasmin uses a customized version of it.

That's about what I thought it would cost, but, that plus the processing cost, data transfer, talent fees, brings the profit margin down a lot more than I thought. Workable thank you.

How it works:
You prepay $3750.00 plus a 1 time fee of $250.00 for setup, Hasp, and shipping. We set up an Unlimited FireCracker Video Software package on your server. This will allow you to sell $25,000.00 in membership sales!
When your sales near $25,000.00 total you can "re-charge" your system by paying another $3750.00 to allow you to sell another $25,000.00 in membership sales. Of course you can prepay more for more membership sales (you pay us 15% of your desired sales), but $3750.00 per prepay is the minimum.

If you are seroius about your project,I may..and I repeat may.. be willing to provide our pay per view system to you for a lot less than firecracker..on a percentage basis.

It makes firecracker look like its 10 years behind technology/streaming wise.

Icq me and we can chat 158721531 :thumbsup

Thanks for the comprehensive reply. Step by bump I am learning more. It's all my talent, so it would be shot from one of my places. This should be FUN. :)

LiveJasmin is an open source license holder of our cam software; however we cannot speak on what elements of our software are being used in their current site because we have no way of knowing :)

Please check out our software. It is one of the only out of the box cam site software packages using flash (rather than JAVA) and I feel it is the most comprehensive currently available :thumbsup

Have used Windows Media encoder quite successfully on a number of occassions...I really recommend it. And you can get some good video servers (really want to go with one to keep your stream clean) from streamhoster.com

Just let them know that you want to stream webcams...Can get a really decent account that'll meet reasonable needs for about 50/month
