Cam2Web – Quick and easy Webcam setup for your Mac
Fun, Mac OS X, OS X Apps - March 8th, 2007 - 7 Comments
Chances are if you have a new consumer Mac it has a built-in iSight camera, just waiting to be used. If you’ve ever thought about setting up a webcam but figured it would be too difficult, fear not, because it doesn’t get any easier than this. Cam2Web is a tiny no frills app that is so simple you can’t possibly go wrong in the getting it to work. All you’ll need is a Mac with an iSight camera, and FTP access to a server that you can upload to. No really, that’s it.
Setup is beyond simple, it is literally this easy:
- Launch Cam2Web
- Adjust FTP settings
- Click “Start Uploading”
- Load the specified URL
Now you can broadcast whatever to the world! If you want a live update effect, simply embed the specified JPG file into an html document with some basic refresh code.
OK call me an idiot, but I can’t figure this out. When it uploads a picture, the picture is not from the iSight but rather an image of the URL…
Am I a total moron?
This app. isn’t that simple.
Its not working for me.
How does it know where to place the image and which cam to use.
A few more words to explain exactly how it works would be appreciated.
Simplicity can sometimes be interpreted as arrogance.

I think the reviewer may have read the blurb and not actually tested the product. Won’t work for me…
I downloaded Cam2Web and it won’t close and I can’t shut down my computer…. what do I do to get the program out as I have not completed my website to move it on.
what the hell.. I can’t quit this program.. It is totally useless and unhandy!
I can’t quit it.
You may have to force quit it in the apple menu at the top!!
