Looking for certain type of screensaver

[ekorenyi]

I would like to use live video from around my home as a screensaver. It must
display live,
full-screen video from my camera or webcam on screen as screensaver. Uses
are to keep an eye on the baby,
front porch, or security monitor around my yard on my pc screen as a full
screen screensaver.

I found one called Xstream, dl/installed but it seems to only be
advertisment for a camera and it's software

Xstream Video Screen Saver

Tried to visit site but couldn't connect.

Does anyone know of any simular programs (prefer freeware but shareware
okay)

Happy New Year to everyone

You may already have what you need. If you have MediaPlayerClassic
try this. Available here >

Start MPC, then go to file-open device...you should see a listing for
your webcam. Click on OK...then adjust video size...max is
640x480...click on view-full screen...then x out the control panel on
the left. You now have full screen live video of whatever your web cam
is pointing at. It works on my old Intel webcam, I assume most
webcams are supported. Good Luck
