Do you sometimes feel the need to monitor your office desk while you are away: at your home, in your car or any other place? All you need is a webcamand this tool with an Internet connection at the location which you want to monitor. It enables you to instantly create a streaming server which will automatically stream the feeds from your webcam to a web server. It doesn't require a public IP for streaming and can very easily work even if you have a firewall in-between. All you need is to open port 21. And unlike other products, it can even create the frontend webpage for you in minutes. Once all this is done, all that you need is to upload the html page to the web server and you can monitor live streaming video on it. Here, we guide you through the process.

Run the software and start the setup wizard. A window will open, click on 'Next' and it will ask you to select the webcam you want to use with TinCam.	Now select when to refresh the image on the website. If you select Timer, you have to input time & it will keep refreshing the image, else it will grab a picture when it detects motion .

Fill in FTP details of the website where you want to setup the front page. Provide site details, username & password, and the folder. To test settings, simply click on 'Test Settings'.	Select the second option as shown above and it will create the page automatically. Now upload the page manually to your FTP location and follow the wizard till it finishes, and you are done.
