Webcam

A webcam is a video camera that feeds or streams its image in real time to or through a computer to a computer network . When "captured" by the computer, the video stream may be saved, viewed or sent on to other networks travelling through systems such as the internet, and e-mailed as an attachment. When sent to a remote location, the video stream may be saved, viewed or on sent there. Unlike an IP camera (which connects using Ethernet or Wi-Fi ), a webcam is generally connected by a USB cable, or similar cable, or built into computer hardware, such as laptops.
