The article describes cam2web project - an open source application aimed for streaming cameras as MJPEG streams.
Using Raspberry Pi, this article seeks to: stream camera as MJPEG stream over HTTP, so it can be consumed by any application supporting it, provide JPEG snapshots as well, so applications, which are not MJPEG-friendly, could grab a single image, provide a way to control options like brightness, contrast, come up with a simple built-in web UI, and have support authentication, so viewing/configuring a camera could be restricted.

Started software development at about 15 years old and it seems like now it lasts most part of my life. Fortunately did not spend too much time with Z80 and BK0010 and switched to 8086 and further. Similar with programming languages – luckily managed to get away from BASIC and Pascal to things like Assembler, C, C++ and then C#. Apart from daily programming for food, do it also for hobby, where mostly enjoy areas like Computer Vision, Robotics and AI. This led to some open source stuff like AForge.NET, Computer Vision Sandbox, cam2web, ANNT, etc.
