Notes:

You must install the Java JRE to use this program.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jgloss/jre.html

This program requires a manual install! See below.

I put out an avalanche of free software into the world, and submit PAD
files to hundreds of distribution sites, but I rarely hear back from
anyone. What's happening? Does it all just work fine? It is so
complicated nobody can figure out how to use it and they give up on it?
It is it useful? Since everyone has the source, do people just fix the
programs to their liking themselves? Did you have trouble installing? Do
I presume you know too much? I would be happy to hear from you about your
experiences, positive or negative and your requests for improvements. A
one-line email to roedy@mindprod.com would be great.

===> Free <===
Full source included.
You may even include the source code, modified or unmodified
in free/commercial open source/proprietary programs that you write and distribute.
May be used freely for any purpose but military.
For more details on this restriction, see
http://mindprod.com/contact/nonmil.html
If you include any Canadian Mind Products code in your own applications,
your app too must be labelled non-military use only.
http://mindprod.com/contact/nonmil.html
All Java jars and source code are included. If you need the class files or Javadoc, you will have to build them yourself. To streamline the zip downloads, class files and Javadoc have been removed.

----

Prerequisites:

This program runs under any OS that supports Java,
(e.g.W2K/XP/W2003/Vista/W2008/W7-32/W7-64/W8-32/W8-64/Linux/LinuxARM/LinuxX86
/LinuxX64/Ubuntu/Solaris/SolarisSPARC/SolarisSPARC64/SolarisX86/SolarisX64/OSX/AIX...)
so long as you have
<><> Java version 1.8 <><> or later installed (32-bit or 64-bit Java).
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html for details.

----

Installing on a PC:

Download source and compiled jar files to run on your own machine as an Applet.
First install a recent Java JDK or JVM.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html.
To install, extract the zip download with WinZip
(or similar unzip utility) into any directory you please,
often J:\ -- ticking off the <span class="click">use folder names</span> option.

----

Installing on a MacIntosh:

Use Safari to download source and compiled jar files to run on your own machine as an Applet.
Safari will automatically unpack the zip into ~/Downloads (version 10.5)
[or on the Desktop (version 10.4 and earlier)].
First install a recent Java JDK or JVM.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html.
You may optionally move the download tree to a permanent home.
I don't have a MacIntosh, just a PC, so I can't test my Java programs for Mac compatibility.
In theory they should work without problems, but in practice that does not always happen.
If you have problems please, let me know, preferably with screenshots and complete verbatim error messages.

----

Rebuilding:

The zip already contains the necessary jar files, so unless you modify
the program, there is no need to recompile the source or rebuild the jar.
Configure.java basedir="E:/" in rebuild.xml to the drive where your files are.
Configure.java your certificate name with environment SET cert=mindprodcert2017rsa
Configure.java your certificate password with environment SET jarsignerpassword=sesame
Use ANT and rebuild.xml, not build.xml, to recompile and recreate the jar.

Use:

Lets you a view video stream from web cameras that servers
present as a series of still jpg images. It is different
from the competition in that:
1. You can refresh the image
at any time just by clicking the image.
2. After you click, it continues to refresh at a fast rate
for a while, then reverts to a slower rate. This is all
configurable.
3. Well-commented Java source is included so you can see
how it works or add your own features.
4. It is optimised to work with multiple Applet instances
page. You can view many streams at once. You might for
example write HTML to simultaneously display many thumbnail
streams then zoom in on one on a different web page.
5. For example, you could have NetworkCam display the
outputs from many security cameras at once, and zoom in on
the one that was showing suspicious activity. You can click
at any time to force an instant update. You might cycle
through a set of web pages, using the HTML timed redirect
feature, to show you alternating banks of feeds. NetworkCam
only deals with one feed at a time, but you may embed it
many times on the same web page to display multiple feeds.
6. It comes in both signed and unsigned versions, so you can
use it to view feeds on any server, even ones you do not
control.
7. It refreshes properly even where the server, the net, the
browser, Java or other software is caching old images.
See the http://mindprod.com/webstarts/networkcammanual.html
for details of use for details of use.
In version 1.3 the jars are called
networkcam.jar for signed
and unsignednetworkcam.jar for unsigned.
Also full Java source is included.
