How to Install a Traffic Cam or
Webcam
Emergency Notices
Installing a Webcam or Traffic Cam:
Installing a webcam or traffic cam is easy.
Basically, you will need a webcam and possibly webcam software that
automatically uploads to a server if you are using a low-end webcam
like the ones for personal use. If you would like instructions on
installing the traffic camera yourself, please see the information
below. If you need help setting up a camera for use on our site, please contact us
for free assistance in setting up your
NH traffic cam or other
type of outdoor New Hampshire,
Maine,
or Vermont
based cam.
If you own a business, you will
get free advertising for as long as you allow us to use the images
you generate from your traffic or outdoor webcam. If you do not own a business we
can donate the web page to a charity of your choice or we can create
a family page for you, or just simply run the images on our site for
you. All other ideas will be considered in
exchange for setting up a traffic cam at your location.
How to Install a Webcam Yourself:
To install a webcam for use as a traffic cam, you
will need the following:
-
A web camera
-
Webcam FTP upload software (may come with camera)
-
An extension cable if the computer is beyond 4-5
feet from the camera location.
-
Computer with windows 98 or higher, left on
24/7/365 if possible
-
OR, alternatively you can purchase an IP camera which is
designed to be used for security. In most cases these IP cameras
can be used to upload photos or video to a server/website.
Once you have everything required, follow
instructions provided to install the camera and software.
