Listed below is are some of the creative applications that web-cameras are put to
every day. There is bound to be at least one web-camera concept that someone has
not thought of before. Some web-cameras will receive just a few visits a

A Wi-Fi web-camera turns this radio controlled buggy into
a rather unwieldy remotely operated vehicle.
The operator guides the ROV by watching video streamed via a local area network
to a Laptop. The only limiting factor is the radio range of the buggy's 27MHz control
signal and the web-camera's Wi-Fi signal. Otherwise, the operator could be sat on
the Moon.
Incidentally, the web-camera's battery pack lasts for almost as many minutes as
the one that powers the radio controlled buggy!
