Pros
It doesn't have any ads in it. Nothing gets installed, just delete the folder when you are done with it
Cons
I made a HTML page to refresh a call for the image and then I went and complicated things with a fade script but, every time I get back to working on it, it doesn't work again. It crashed my XP fiercely, bringing up a blue screen. After reboot it alerted me that windows had recovered from a serious error. I think its because I unplugged my camera before exiting

Pros

Summary
It does exactly what I wanted it to do. All I had to do was get some javascript to refresh the page. So all you people whinging about the refresing, it's not hard to get the script! It works brilliantly on my weblog. Highly Recommended to everyone with a webcam. It's fantastic for free.
works great, and not hard to use
Pros
Cons
Summary
Simply tell it what device to broadcast, and on what port.
It basicly shows a freeze frame, so if you have it reset every second, its like watching a video with slow framerate. Pretty good though.
Does wot it says on the box
