Using Fast Cam

Fast Cam is a highly advanced feature that allows the browser to refresh images right from your computer, instead of having to go through the FTP server first. You may not be able to use Fast Cam if you are behind a firewall or proxy due to IP address issues.

To find out if you are able to use Fast Cam, first click the FTP Settings button, then go to the Fast Cam Settings tab. Now click the Look Up IP Address button. This will either give you the IP address for your computer, or report that you are not able to use Fast Cam.

Now that you have that information, you can set up the Webpage to refresh the Webcam image directly from your computer. Click the button, then select the type of page you want to display (standard, pop-up, or buddies). Just before you upload the HTML page, check the box that reads "Use FastCam Image." Now, instead of the standard <img src=> tag, the Webpage will use something like this:
<img src="http://133.44.22.1:8080"> with your IP address listed. The Webpage will now refresh directly from your computer.

The last step is to enable Fast Cam.
You do this by going to Tools > Fast Cam On/Off
