The Web Cam camera sits at the window looking out at the Golden Dome. It is connected to a cable which runs to the computer. It plugs in to the video capture card. The Web Cam software takes one picture frame and turns it into a file with a JPG extension. The software activates the modem which dials the local internet service provider (ISP). Upon connection it uses FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to upload the file to the web site location. The ISP is connected by high speed lines to the World Wide Web, so everyone in the world can see the Golden Dome.
Enjoy!
