Well, I finally have the webcam set up for the pan/tilt thread I started a year and a half ago, “Pan and tilt control of webcam with PICAXE 08M”: http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=9425&highlight=pan+tilt
Edit: The webcam is viewable here: http://www.lyzby.com/cam.html
Here is a screen shot of the view and control panel.
[EDIT--ignore: You should be able to access these two windows at 24.224.212.167:8080/ and 24.224.212.167:8081 (reduce this window to the right quarter of the screen). The image is viewed and the camera controlled at http://24.224.212.167:8080/cam.html Sorry for the numbered IP addresses, but they are not under my control, and are changeable, tho so far they change only about every 6 months. It might be possible to combine these two into a single window, but I don’t know how.
The Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 camera is placed in a window in a finished room in the barn, along with the wireless router acting to bridge to the house network (a Linksys WRT54G), an NSLU2 which streams the camera image and passes on pan/tilt commands, and a PICAXE microprocessor board which uses the pan/tilt commands to move servos to pan and tilt the camera.
The network setup was on the complex side—a Netgear WGR614v6 is connected to the cable modem; another Netgear WGR614v6 is wired to that and provides a wireless Access Point on the side of the house closest to the barn; the WRG54G bridges that wireless signal to devices in the barn, including the NSLU2.
Here is a shot of the setup in place.
And another.
