We recently installed a webcam on at our South campus for use during
the construction of that campus over the next 9 months or so.
The webcam
is pretty feature rich, but it did not come with any software that we could use
on our web site to simply show the latest image. No problem -- its not too
difficult to write some code to display the latest image found in a particular
folder.
It's called LatestImageControl.ascx and I've made it a bit more
generic so you could also use it. Both the folder and the filename extension are
configurable.
Here's a page
that describes the control.
