Now I have abstract question however I hope someone will help me here. I have a problem with my webcam. I need use it in several applications at the same time however Windows does not allow this. Maybe you know some programs that allow sharing my cam to several applications. I hope there are some cam splitters or video cloning soft.
Thanks In Advance

First off, this is not the right forum for this question ... could one of the mods move this please?
Next, Welcome to Chief Delphi ... and, yeah, we're pretty friendly
.
Now on to your question. Windows usually does not control webcams. The drivers and camera firmware generally do. Most webcams (not all) can generate HTML output so that 'any and all' programs that want to can 'read' the video feed. This is usually set up in the configuration of the webcam. Look in your webcam documentation (I know ... read the instructions
) to see if an HTML feed can be set up and what IP address it would be on. Then read the feed from that IP.
Hope this helps.
