Capture webcamera images at timed intervals?
Hi,

I was wondering if there was some program which could basically capture images from a webcam at timed intervals then load them onto a server.

More specifially:
The webcam will be attatched to some old WinNT machine down where the robot is. Every so often the webcam will take a picture, then upload that picture to my linux server, where it can be viewed. The computer at the robot room is some old Pentium 1 junk running Windows NT 4.0; the server is running RedHat 9.0 (Apache 2.0.40, MySQL 3.23.58, PHP 4.2.2, FTP not enabled); and the webcam is an IBM USB Net Camera.

Also, if there is some program out there which would be able to remotely capture images, please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
NoodleKnight
