Hi Julieta, List.
I've never tried it myself, but the Logitech Quickcam Orbit might be worth a look as a cheap and cheerful option. If you're using Linux, the camera is well supported by the pwc driver ( http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/ ) and can be moved using the program setpwc ( http://www.vanheusden.com/setpwc/ ) and therefore from within PD with the [shell] object. Search the archives of the pwc list ( http://lists.saillard.org/pipermail/pwc/ ) for more information on the Orbit.
If you're not using Linux, there are probably similar ways of controlling the camera motors on other OS.
Controlling it over the internet is another issue...
Hope this helps,
Andrew.

Hi, list! I have a question: I have to be able to control a the movement of web cam through internet. I was thinking to attach it to a couple of motors and control them through a serial port via a stamp... I would try to control the stamp sending values from PD (via the serial port)... And somehow send these values to PD from a web interface... Is this possible and/or the best/easier way to do it? Can I use the netreceive object for this, and what kind of objects/ software should I use to send this kind of data over the internet, what info would I need for that? I am practically new to networking... Has anyone done something similar or could someone point in the right direction? Thanks a lot...
