Webcams Some help and advice

I really could use some good advice form you all here. The other afternoon there was some snow in my forecast so I thought that it would be cool to stream it live over ustream. Right now I have a old logitech eyeball cam that is about 10yrs old. works fine almost like knew. Question is. and I have googled it and all that. But is there any handheld webcams on the market that I that I could use like that and not have to hold the cam, "shakes" or have it sit on the window frame? As I said I have Googled it, without much luck. I had thought of a camcorder but ChChing and I don't know if that would even work or not. a real noob here sorry. Thanks

why not a wirelss web or security camera? i think they run about $60. i don't know about putting it in front of a window though because windows will create glare and distortion. best bet is to attach something outside but i don't know how the temperature would affect the electronic componant. only other option i can think of is move your computer next to a window where you can use your already existing cam. also, if you do want to capture the snow, best image would be a night one with a light outside to reflect off the falling snow. but it would take a good light source and a little creativity and possible more $....but the images would be a lot better than any daytime images...but daytime images are easier to capture. could be well worth it in the long run for the nighttime images though and can bring more visitors to your site in my opinion(but more effort will be involved)

anyway, if you do ever shoot through a window, open the window first and take out the screen

also, pretty cheesy, but if you know anyone that has an available system already that can capture it, all you have to do is use their feed if they are willing to do it.

also, you don't need a camcorder. all you need is a digital camera that supports video. most people have this already. don't know if you do or not....

i guess that's all the suggestions i can think of right now. good luck with it. interesting concept for your website which i have been to a couple times already btw....

ty, thought of something like that but the one's I found are much more than $60.00, however I did find a camcorder that I can shoot whatever then upload it to my sever or Youtube then to USTREAM, Will not be Live as I would like to have had, but can always do the Cam out the window for that until I can set something up mobile. Have some Chaser friends of mine that are now looking into getting me up and running.
