Usual webcams run a server Tom remotely access images and videos. This often prevents the server from going to suspend.
This tool listens on a configurable port on a GET request requesting a .jpg file. Up on such a request, the webcam is configured, activated, an image is captured, and the image is returned as a usual http reply. This enables the server to suspend and to wait for a WOL to resume.

Features

  • Capture local camera images based on simple http GET requests
  • Allows host system to suspend
