I plan to use two types of sources one is an old Kodak USB camera and the
other is an older PCI ATI all-in-wonder Pro video board for the live capture.
this will be on a machine that is located on the local network with my web
server. Thanks for your help!

I believe that might require setting up a network share and sharing
the folder with the image, assuming that it's on a different machine.
I'm not really sure how that would work, though. It might be easier
to just have the camera on the same machine, and then have the
software that comes with the webcam write it's picture out to an image
file in the appropriate directory of your webserver.

Also this page may be of help:

As an addendum to my post bove, this software works with ftp, on an
interval, and has motion detection too.

http://dorgem.sourceforge.net/

Here's their description:

Dorgem is a webcam capture application for Windows 9x and up. Any
Video for Windows compatible webcam (or other digital camera) is
supported.

It has unlimited storage events that can put the captured image on an
FTP site as well as a local disk, all with their own time interval. It
can put a unlimited texts and bitmaps on the captured image before the
image is stored.
 
Your camera should come with suitable software to make a "web cam", or else
there's plenty of free products such as this one:

The above software has the ability to let the camera take the pic and then
transfer that either to an FTP server or other machine/network drive - so it
might suit you.

Also you would need a javascript or use the meta refresh to reload the page
containing the picture automatically.
