If so, I highly recommend you take a look at EvoCam from Evological. Working through a simple one-window (four tab) interface, you configure the camera, the options you want on your webcam display (graphics overlays, time/date stamp, text captions, even QuickTime special effects), and then choose how you'd like to serve your webcam images. In this post I'm going to show how to use a Mac, an external USB Camera and a program called EvoCam to upload image streams to Sensr.net. Download chrome for mac 10.6.8. This article is divided into the following three large sections: Install Macam to support USB webcams on OSX; Create a new camera on Sensr.net; Install and configure EvoCam to upload image streams.
Four simple steps:
Setting up EpocCam only takes a few minutes.

On price alone you might be tempted by EvoCam as it costs just $30 (under £20) for an unlimited number of cameras, while SecuritySpy will set you back £30 for a single camera license and a whopping £500 for unlimited camera support.
I've had an opportunity to evaluate both products and have come to the conclusion that you really do get what you pay for.
EvoCam does the job well enough and has a more polished user interface, but it also suffers from a major problem that lets it down badly, almost to the point of being unusable. For reasons unknown it ties up the processor for even a simple one camera recording setup.
Activity Monitor output taken for identical recording sessions is below:
In these examples (from a Mac Mini 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM), EvoCam consumes 85% CPU and 90MB real memory, while in comparison SecuritySpy consumes a meagre 6% CPU and 21MB real memory. That's quite a difference and it's very noticeable when you try to use the same host machine for other work.
So if you have the luxury of a dedicated powerful server for your camera recording then EvoCam is probably the most cost effective option, but if you want something that works reliably and doesn't take over your machine then SecuritySpy is well worth the extra investment.
