BDLCAM

BDLCAM application was designed to help you control various video conferencing cameras and other USB/serial devices either locally or via the web.
The current public version does not stream the video, but there several programs available that take care of that. All the cameras/devices supported are controlled via serial/rs232, so you will need a computer with an available serial port and the required cable to connect from the computer to the camera.
A USB to serial adapter can also be used where no serial ports are available. In the supported devices section I have included pinouts for anyone wanting to make their own cable, alternatively ebay is a good source for these cables.
Here are some key features of "BDLCAM":
ï¿­ Built in Web Server - Use BDLCAM as a simple Web Server
