Sure, write the driver yourself.

[url]http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/drivers/[/url] (near bottom of page)
has a driver under development (but not yet finished, according to the
page) for another brand of USB webcam.

Since most USB 1.x cameras need to do compression, and sparcs are not
exactly speed demons, it might be problematic even if you got it working.
And there's no apps software to use it, either.

Other than that, the Sun Blade 100/150 will take a FireWire webcam
(ADS Pyro used to be fairly reasonable) - about the only thing it will
do with FireWire so far. And SunForum will work with that, although
there's no docs or examples to let you write your own app.

Hello Konrad,

I don't know there is any way to grab pictures from webcam in .NET. Maybe you could post the question in
public.platformsdk group to see if anybody there could help you out.

For how to send picutres via FTP, please refer to [url]http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/ftp.asp[/url]. It contains a good sample on
it.

Thanks.

Hi Konrad,

Thanks for your post.

You can use DirectShow (contained in DirectX) to grab picture from WebCam.
I believe the sample AmCap is very helpful:
[url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/directx9_c/[/url]
directx/htm/amcapsample.asp.

You can install DirectX 9 SDK at
[url]http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=08c586cd-ca80-4391-[/url]
82af-5c4125dedb7f&languageid=f49e8428-7071-4979-8a67-3cffcb0c2524&displaylan
g=en

In the meantime, I recommend you the newsgroup
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.directx.video which is best suited for
such issue.

Hope this helps.
