There are VERY few webcams that work with Mesh AP. And its very difficult to tell.

They need to have an stv680 chipset in them. Apitek Pencam's do, as do OLD Lespion Mini's, the new ones do not work. However the picture quaility is appaling. If your serious I sugest getting either a IP cam or a wireless IP cam. There's an image from a Lespoin mini on http://www.piertopier.net/webcams.htm - note its down at the minute, due to an ADSL problem, the good picture is an Axis 2120 IP cam on wireless. (aprox £500 - needs cleaning I know)

To actually get a webcam to work on MeahAP you need to enable the webcam option in wiana, then edit the /usr/local/share/camserv/camserv.cfg file. Or more precisly the camserv.master file. Which is used to write the camserv.cfg on boot.

The Image from the webcam can be seen with http://node.ip.here:10192/singlframe. leave off the /singleframe to stream (Doesn't work on IE. Netscape-Mozzilla/Opera/etc only) assuming the 10192 poot is the one specified in camserv.cfg

Even so you cannot see it from the internet unless its a gateway without some portforwarding. Then only from the net not the mesh. If you want both you need to Reverse Proxy it. Its much easier to get an IP Cam. I'll send you a camserv.cfg/camserv.master example if you want though.

Axis camera
We've got an Axis 2120 as our good ip camera, it talks to a mesh box fine, however I think its got a WAP 11 or something to make it Wireless, I think a Cheap bridge/Accesspoint was cheaper than the wireless module for it. The camera's are very good (as used by the internet porn industry I'm told). However they're pretty expencive.

They Make whatproof housings for them.
